Blueprint Maker — Universal Project Architect

Generates comprehensive, structured blueprints for any domain. Not just code — business plans, research protocols, educational curricula, product specs, and more.

When to use

• •User wants to plan something before building it
• •User needs a structured document for a project in any field
• •User says "blueprint", "plan", "strategy", "design", "architecture"

Step 1: Detect Domain

Ask the user what they want to build, then auto-detect the domain:

If ambiguous, ask: "This sounds like a [domain] project. Is that right, or would you prefer a different blueprint style?"

Step 2: Load Template

Read the matching template from templates/<domain>.yaml. Each template defines:

• •Sections: ordered list of blueprint blocks
• •Required fields: what must be filled
• •Optional fields: nice-to-have sections
• •Prompts: LLM prompts to generate each section

Step 3: Interview (Quick)

For each required section, ask the user targeted questions. Keep it fast — max 3 questions:

1. •Goal: "What's the desired outcome in one sentence?"
2. •Constraints: "Any budget, timeline, or resource limits?"
3. •Audience: "Who is this for?"

Step 4: Generate Blueprint

Use the template + user answers to generate a complete markdown blueprint.

Run the engine:

python scripts/blueprint_engine.py --domain <domain> --goal "<user goal>" --output blueprint.md

Or generate inline using the template structure.

Blueprint Structure (all domains share this skeleton)

# Blueprint: [Project Name]

## 📋 Executive Summary
[1-paragraph overview]

## 🎯 Objectives
- Primary: [main goal]
- Secondary: [supporting goals]

## 📊 Analysis
[Domain-specific analysis section]

## 🏗️ Architecture / Structure
[The core blueprint — phases, components, or modules]

## 📅 Timeline & Milestones
[Phased timeline with deliverables]

## 💰 Resources & Budget
[People, tools, money needed]

## ⚠️ Risks & Mitigations
[What could go wrong + how to handle it]

## 📈 Success Metrics
[How to measure success — KPIs, OKRs, etc.]

## 📎 Appendix
[References, links, raw data]

Step 5: Export

Offer the user multiple formats:

• •Markdown (default) — ready to paste anywhere
• •YAML — machine-readable, can feed into dag-taskview
• •Mermaid — visual diagram of the architecture/timeline

Step 6: Chain to DAG

After blueprint generation, ask:

"Want me to convert this blueprint into a visual task DAG with dependencies and progress tracking? (uses dag-taskview skill)"
