Node Generator

The Node Generator lets you describe what you want to build in plain language and get back a complete node tree — domain, capabilities, features, flows, rules, metrics, and more — ready to review and apply.

Opening the generator

1. In the Graph view, click the Sparkles (✦) button on any node, or use the Generate option when adding a new node
2. The Node Generator panel slides open on the right

You can invoke the generator at any level:

• On a Domain → generate capabilities and features inside it
• On a Capability → generate features and their attached nodes
• On a Feature → generate flows, rules, metrics, and acceptance criteria

Writing a description

In the text area, describe what you want to build. The more context you give, the better the result.

Examples:

“A fraud detection capability for an e-commerce checkout. Needs real-time transaction scoring, velocity checks, and a manual review queue for flagged orders.”

“A user onboarding flow for a B2B SaaS product. Users invite teammates, connect integrations, and set up their first workspace. Include acceptance criteria and metrics.”

“An authentication capability with magic link login and Google OAuth. Users should be able to manage their sessions and revoke access.”

Options

• Include related nodes — when enabled, the generator also creates Needs, Rules, Acceptance Criteria, Metrics, and Flows linked to each Feature. Disable this to get a leaner structure of just Domains, Capabilities, and Features.

The generation plan

After you click Generate, the assistant produces a plan — a structured preview of everything it will create:

• Each proposed node with its type, title, and description
• The relationships between them (which feature a rule belongs to, which actor is in a flow, etc.)
• A brief reasoning note explaining the overall structure

The plan is shown as a collapsible tree so you can scan the full scope of the change.

Reviewing the plan

Take a moment to review before applying:

• Check that node names and descriptions match your intent
• Remove any nodes you don’t need (click the trash icon on a node card)
• Note nodes marked display-only — these are context references to existing nodes, not new ones to be created

If the plan isn’t what you wanted, click Regenerate to try again with the same or a revised description.

Applying the plan

When the plan looks right, click Apply plan. All the proposed nodes and relationships are submitted as a single batch and appear in your working state immediately.

After applying:

• The new nodes appear in the graph
• AI agents run and may surface suggestions for the newly created structure
• You can edit any individual node as normal
• The whole batch can be rolled back in one go via Rollbacks if needed

Tip

Apply the plan to a branch, not directly to main. That way you can review the AI-generated structure, make adjustments, and open a merge request when you’re happy with it.

When to use the Node Generator

Scenario	Why it helps
Starting a new domain from scratch	Get a full skeleton in seconds rather than clicking through each node
Modelling a complex feature with many sub-parts	Let AI draft the flows, rules, and criteria, then refine
Exploring what a capability could look like	Generate a draft, see the shape, then decide what to keep
Onboarding a new product area	Quickly build a first draft from a brief or PRD description
