1. Executive Summary
1.1 Vision Statement
Syndarix is an AI-powered software consulting agency platform that orchestrates specialized AI agents to deliver complete software solutions autonomously. It transforms the software development lifecycle by providing a virtual consulting team where AI agents collaboratively plan, design, implement, test, and deliver software with minimal human intervention.
1.2 Key Objectives
| Objective | Description | Success Metric |
|---|---|---|
| OBJ-001 | Reduce manual project management overhead | 80% reduction in PM time per project |
| OBJ-002 | Deliver production-ready code autonomously | 90% of deliverables pass first review |
| OBJ-003 | Maintain full transparency and client control | 100% artifact visibility, intervention at any point |
| OBJ-004 | Support varying client technical proficiency | Both technical and "auto" modes functional |
| OBJ-005 | Scale to multiple concurrent projects | Support 10+ active projects per instance |
1.3 Target Audience
- Primary: Internal development teams seeking AI-augmented development
- Secondary: Company stakeholders requiring software solutions
- Future: External clients (post-v1, if multi-tenant support added)
1.4 Scope Summary
In-Scope (v1):
- Multi-agent orchestration with 10 specialized roles
- Complete SDLC workflow automation
- Configurable autonomy levels
- MCP-first architecture for all integrations
- Project complexity wizard (Script/Simple/Medium/Complex)
- Full artifact delivery (code, docs, ADRs, tests)
Out-of-Scope (v1):
- Multi-tenant SaaS deployment
- Public API access
- Mobile application
- Real-time video collaboration
- Third-party marketplace integrations
2. Problem Statement and Objectives
2.1 Problem Statement
Modern software development faces a paradox: despite advances in AI coding assistants, developers spend as much time managing AI as doing the work themselves. Key pain points include:
- Context Switching Overhead: Developers constantly switch between tools, losing context and productivity
- Knowledge Fragmentation: Project knowledge scattered across conversations, documents, and code
- AI Babysitting: Current AI tools require constant human guidance and validation
- Inconsistent Quality: No standardized process for AI-generated code review and testing
- Missing Orchestration: No unified system to coordinate multiple AI capabilities
- Limited Autonomy: Existing tools cannot handle end-to-end project delivery
2.2 Proposed Solution
Syndarix addresses these challenges through:
- Structured Agency Model: Specialized AI agents with defined roles, expertise, and communication protocols
- Unified Knowledge Base: Centralized, searchable repository with project and agent scoping
- Autonomous Workflows: Agents work independently with checkpoints for human intervention
- Quality Gates: Built-in review processes, testing requirements, and approval workflows
- MCP Orchestration: Single integration layer for all external tools and services
- Configurable Control: Client-defined autonomy levels from full control to fully autonomous
2.3 Value Proposition
| Stakeholder | Value Delivered |
|---|---|
| Developers | Focus on creative work while AI handles routine tasks |
| Project Managers | Automated backlog management, sprint planning, and progress tracking |
| Business Owners | Faster time-to-market with consistent quality |
| Architects | AI-assisted design with ADR documentation |
| QA Teams | Automated test generation and execution |
2.4 Business Objectives

6.2 Component Details
6.2.1 Agent Orchestrator
Purpose: Manages agent lifecycle, spawning, communication, and coordination
Responsibilities:
- Spawn agent instances from type definitions
- Route messages between agents
- Manage agent context and memory
- Handle agent failover
- Track agent resource usage
Key Interfaces:
class AgentOrchestrator:
def spawn_agent(agent_type_id: UUID, project_id: UUID, name: str) -> AgentInstance
def terminate_agent(instance_id: UUID) -> None
def send_message(from_id: UUID, to_id: UUID, message: AgentMessage) -> None
def broadcast(from_id: UUID, target_type: AgentType, message: AgentMessage) -> None
def get_agent_status(instance_id: UUID) -> AgentStatus
6.2.2 Project Manager (Component)
Purpose: Manages project lifecycle, configuration, and state
Responsibilities:
- Create and configure projects
- Track project status and progress
- Manage project settings and integrations
- Generate project reports
Key Interfaces:
class ProjectManager:
def create_project(config: ProjectConfig) -> Project
def configure_project(project_id: UUID, settings: ProjectSettings) -> None
def get_project_status(project_id: UUID) -> ProjectStatus
def archive_project(project_id: UUID) -> None
6.2.3 Workflow Engine
Purpose: Orchestrates multi-step workflows and agent collaboration
Responsibilities:

Key Interfaces:
class WorkflowEngine:
def start_workflow(workflow_type: WorkflowType, project_id: UUID) -> WorkflowInstance

def pause_workflow(instance_id: UUID) -> None
def resume_workflow(instance_id: UUID) -> None
6.3 MCP Architecture
6.3.1 Unified Singleton Pattern
Decision: ALL MCP servers are unified singletons with project_id/agent_id scoping. No per-project server spawning.
Rationale:
- Per-project servers too resource-heavy
- Unified servers enable cross-project learning
- Simpler deployment and management
- Consistent tool interface
Implementation:
# All MCP tools accept explicit scope parameters
@mcp_tool
def search_knowledge(
project_id: str,
agent_id: str,
query: str,
scope: Literal["project", "global"] = "project"
) -> SearchResults:
"""Search knowledge base with explicit scoping"""
pass
@mcp_tool
def create_issue(
project_id: str,
agent_id: str,
title: str,
description: str,
issue_type: IssueType
) -> Issue:
"""Create issue in project-scoped context"""
pass
6.3.2 MCP Server Registry
| MCP Server | Purpose | Scope Parameters |
|---|---|---|
| LLM Gateway | Route LLM requests with failover | agent_id, model_preference |
| Git MCP | Git operations | project_id, repo_id |
| Knowledge Base MCP | RAG and document search | project_id, agent_id |
| File System MCP | File operations | project_id, workspace_path |
| Code Analysis MCP | Static analysis, linting | project_id, file_path |
