Free AI coding tools for PRDs and agent loops

Prepare the work before an AI coding agent touches your repo. Check PRDs, generate acceptance criteria, write AGENTS.md instructions, and split risky tasks into reviewable stories.

Why these tools exist

AI coding works better when the task is specific, bounded, and easy to review. These tools turn vague intent into PRDs, acceptance criteria, project standards, and story-sized implementation plans before an agent edits code.

How they connect to Hal

Hal is a terminal-first CLI for PRD-native coding loops. Use the generated markdown as source material, run a small loop, and inspect the resulting commits, reports, and changed files before merging.
