Meet Baxter, the Agentic BA !

A Business analysis Copilot — essentially a plain-text harness , that works alongside you to craft markdown artefacts and verify business requirements, change requests, bug reports, and other key SDLC artefacts against your real codebase, right inside an AI coding IDE.

No vendor lock-in - Works in any AI IDE, e.g., Claude Code, Cursor or GitHub Copilot

Who it's for

Business Analysts & Product Managers who want to manage SDLC artefacts, at scale.

  • ✓Writing BRDs, PRDs, and CRs by hand or with context-unaware LLMs
  • ✓Checking Artefacts against code, with full context
  • ✓Clarifying Change Requests from clients, then sanity-checking them against the codebase
  • ✓Assessing Bug reports and writing Test cases
  • ✓Generating artefacts for AI powered Knowledge bases
  • ✓Empowering Business Analysts to make use of version control for non-code artefacts

Ask your Agent. Craft code-verified artefacts!

Toss in a raw client request — an email, Kanban Card, a Slack note, A Google Doc — and Baxter assists you in drafting an artefact, sanity checked against your actual code so you can review it. Every artefact is just Markdown in git, your whole team can work in git now: BAs and PMs review, comment, and approve requirements the same way developers review code.

Get started in 3 simple steps

1

Download the harness

No git command needed. Download ZIP and unzip it. (Prefer git? git clone works too.)

2

Add your codebase — or any boilerplate you've got

cp -r /path/to/your/project coderepo/

Have real code? Drop it in as is. Nothing built yet? A starter boilerplate for your stack works too.

3

Open in your AI agent and paste a request — or just ask questions about your code

Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot each pick up Baxter's instructions automatically and come alongside you.

Templated artefacts

Paste anything — no forms, no template names to remember. Core skills turn raw text into a verified, templated artefact:

  • Requirements docs
  • Product docs
  • Implementation plans
  • Test cases
  • Bug reports
  • Change requests
  • AI feature specs
  • Diagrams
  • ER diagrams
  • Clarification requests

Because every one is a clean, structured Markdown file checked against your real code, you're not just filing tickets — you're building a consistent, AI-ready knowledge base of your product as a side effect.
