Concepts

Jig organizes AI-driven development around a small set of core concepts. Each page in this section explains one concept in depth.

  • Specs — Permanent architectural landmarks that describe what a subsystem is and why it exists.
  • Tasks — Scoped units of work with bounded file scope, verification commands, and guardrails.
  • Verification — Automated gates that prove tasks are complete without self-assessment.
  • Acceptance Criteria — Structured, mechanically verifiable conditions attached to tasks.
  • Requests — Trackable units of intent that link work to the reasons it exists.
  • Bootstrap — Scan an existing codebase and generate specs automatically.
  • Intake Pile — Capture bugs and ideas instantly for AI triage into specs.
