Strategic document generation for agentic applications. A Claude Code plugin that acts as your thinking partner to generate 22 design documents following the North Star methodology. Helps define and preserve product intent while building agentic applications in Claude Code. The output is a structured documentation system that can be handed off to Claude Code providing it with details of what to build, what not to build, how to build it, and how to talk about it.
North Star Advisor helps you plan AI-native applications through:
- Strategic Discovery - Open exploration to articulate what you're building
- Domain Research - 4 parallel agents research tech, features, architecture, and pitfalls
- Document Generation - 22 strategic documents informed by research

The generated documents form a complete strategic blueprint. Point Claude Code at these docs and it will understand:
- What to build - Features, user journeys, success metrics
- What NOT to build - Kill list, non-goals, out-of-scope items
- How to build it - Architecture patterns, agent topology, security guardrails
- How to talk about it - Brand voice, terminology, beliefs
