Atelier: A VS Code Extension Bridging Specs and Kanban for AI Coding
narphorium · x · 2026-07-31
Atelier is a free VS Code extension designed to enhance AI coding efficiency through a spec-driven workflow.
- Context-Aware Editing: Provides a rich text editor for specs and architecture docs. AI proposes inline edits grounded in the entire repository, cross-referencing implementation details.
- Visual Workflow: Features a Kanban board where every task card maps to a physical file. Dragging a card launches an AI agent with the correct context.
- Built-in Verification: Allows defining acceptance criteria upfront and verifies completed AI work at both task and plan levels. Failures are converted into new tasks rather than hidden tech debt.
- Diagram Support: Renders Mermaid architecture diagrams inline within files and provides deep links back to the source code.
