Meet Baxter, the Agentic BA !
Your AI business analyst — essentially an open source AI Harness that works alongside you to craft and verify business requirements, change requests, bug reports, and other artefacts against your real codebase, right inside the AI coding IDE you already use, with support for markdown and version control.
For Business Analysts and Product Managers who manage the SDLC, at scale.
- ✓Already writing BRDs, PRDs, and CRs by hand or with context-unaware LLMs
- ✓Need every artefact checked against real code, with full context
- ✓Brainstorming Change Requests from clients, then sanity-checking them against the codebase
- ✓Want help with the QA process and not take forever writing test cases
- ✓Part of a high-performing product team needing better documentation
Ask your Agent. Craft code-verified artefacts!
Paste a raw request — an email, a Slack message, a voice note — and Baxter drafts the right artefact, checked against your actual code before you ever see it. Because every output is just Markdown in git, your whole team works in git now: BAs and PMs review, comment, and approve requirements the same way developers review code.
Get started in 3 steps
Download the harness
No git command needed. Download ZIP and unzip it. (Prefer git? git clone works too.)
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.
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 — no setup.
Templated artefacts
Paste anything — no forms, no template names to remember. Core skills turn raw text into a verified, templated artefact: bug reports, change requests, requirements docs, test cases, and more. 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.
Beyond templates, thirteen slash commands automate the busywork around them.
/generate-module-registry, /validate-release, /generate-test-plan — and ten more.

Business Analyst and Consultant with 12+ years in business analysis and product leadership, running his own practice from India across Healthcare IT, digital transformation, and workplace automation. Frustrated that BAs lack the tools developers take for granted — version control, plain-text artefacts, real review — he built ABAF to put git and Markdown in every BA's hands, grounded in real code.
