What is Baseline Core?

An AI-powered product system that takes you from idea to engineering-ready. 12 skills, 14 frameworks, and 34 reference files covering research, strategy, specs, design, planning, and more. Delivered via CLI, loaded into any AI tool. Free to use.

Founders and small teams doing product work without a dedicated PM. If you need to research a market, write a PRD, plan a sprint, or hand off specs to engineering, and you don't have someone whose full-time job that is, Baseline is the system.

What AI tools does it work with?

Any AI tool that reads AGENTS.md: Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, GitHub Copilot, JetBrains AI, and more. ChatGPT and Gemini work via file upload. Tool-agnostic by design.

What's the difference between free and paid?

Core gives you the full system with generic context scaffolding. The Custom Setup means I work with you hands-on for one week: write your business context, build custom skills for your workflows, and train your team to run it independently.

Can I start free and upgrade later?

Yes. Most teams start with Core, experience the system, then reach out when they want the output tuned to their business. Everything builds on top of what you already have.

How it works

Run the CLI.

One command, a few questions about your business, and the system sets up with your context baked in. Skills, frameworks, reference files, and AGENTS.md, ready in minutes.

Ask it anything.

Research competitors, design user flows, plan sprints, write specs, build prototypes. Every output is grounded in your business context and proven product methodology.

Get structured output.

Deliverables your team can actually use. Strategy decks, design specs, sprint plans, positioning docs, all structured, on-brand, and ready to hand off.

What's inside

Everything a product team runs on.

Three components that give you the research, strategy, and execution a senior PM would bring. Without the headcount.

Skills(12)

Research, strategy, sprint planning, user flows, prototyping, design, and positioning. Each skill encodes proven methodology so every output is senior-level, consistent, and grounded from the start.

Context

Your positioning, voice, users, competitors, and product details. Loaded automatically into every workflow so the output sounds like your brand, not generic. Updated once, applied everywhere.

Frameworks(14)

Proven models for prioritization, research, messaging, decision-making, stakeholder communication, and change management. The structure behind every consistent, repeatable output.
