Phase 2: Document Generation

Deprecated: The preseed workflow has been renamed to seed. All preseed functionality is now available under bootspring seed. See the Seed Workflow for current documentation.

Duration: Automatic (1-2 seconds)

Your answers are transformed into comprehensive, professional documents.

Overview

After completing the Idea Capture wizard, Bootspring automatically generates all documents based on your selected preset. Each document is structured, formatted, and ready for review or sharing.

Regenerating Documents

Documents can be regenerated anytime:

Loading code block...

Regeneration:

  • Reads the latest PRESEED_CONFIG.json
  • Applies the document template
  • Overwrites existing files
  • Preserves formatting

Document Format

All generated documents follow consistent formatting:

  • Markdown format for universal compatibility
  • Structured headings (H1, H2, H3 hierarchy)
  • Tables for data comparison
  • Code blocks for examples
  • Bullet lists for enumeration
  • Git-friendly line lengths and formatting

Customization

While documents are generated from templates, you can:

Edit the Config

Loading code block...

Edit Documents Directly

Documents can be edited directly, but edits will be lost on regeneration. For persistent changes, update the config instead.

Add Custom Sections

After generation, you can add sections to documents. Mark them clearly so you know what to preserve:

What Happens Next

After document generation:

  1. Review all documents - Read through each generated file
  2. Identify gaps - Note anything missing or incorrect
  3. Move to Phase 3 - Refinement to improve documents
