Synthesize from Preseed

The seed synthesize command reads your preseed documents and creates a unified SEED.md that contains everything needed to scaffold your project.

Command#

What It Does#

1. Reads Preseed Documents#

The command reads all documents from .bootspring/preseed/:

• VISION.md - Problem, solution, unique value
• AUDIENCE.md - Target users, personas
• BUSINESS_MODEL.md - Revenue, pricing
• PRD.md - Product requirements
• TECHNICAL_SPEC.md - Architecture, tech stack
• ROADMAP.md - Development phases

2. Extracts Key Information#

From each document, it extracts:

3. Generates SEED.md#

Creates a unified specification:

Example Usage#

Basic Synthesis#

With Force Overwrite#

Overwrites existing SEED.md without prompting.

Enrichment Workflow (Existing Codebases)#

If your preseed docs came from preseed from-codebase and still need business/context enrichment, run this before synthesis:

After Synthesis#

Review SEED.md#

Make Adjustments#

Edit SEED.md to:

• Adjust tech stack choices
• Reorder MVP features
• Add missing details
• Correct any inaccuracies

Scaffold#

Troubleshooting#

"No preseed documents found"#

Make sure you have documents in .bootspring/preseed/:

If empty, run preseed first:

"Incomplete preseed documents"#

Synthesis works best with complete documents. At minimum:

• VISION.md
• PRD.md

Run the preseed workflow to complete:

"SEED.md already exists"#

Use --force to overwrite:

Or rename the existing file:

Best Practices#

Complete Preseed First#

Better preseed documents = better SEED.md:

Review Before Scaffolding#

Always review SEED.md before scaffolding:

• Verify tech stack is correct
• Check MVP feature priorities
• Ensure user stories are accurate

Keep SEED.md Updated#

SEED.md is a living document. Update it as your project evolves:
