Strategic Guardrails

Strategic guardrails define the boundaries that protect your product strategy. They tell teams — and AI coding agents — what NOT to build, which is just as important as what to build. Guardrails are automatically included in agent specifications pushed to GitHub, Linear, or Jira.

Anti-Goals

Things you explicitly will NOT do

  • • Feature exclusions
  • • Markets you won't enter
  • • User segments you won't serve

Architectural Boundaries

Technical constraints and principles

  • • Technology choices and limits
  • • Performance requirements
  • • Security and compliance rules

UX Principles

Design standards and user experience rules

  • • Interaction patterns to follow
  • • Accessibility requirements
  • • Design system constraints

Differentiation Points

What makes your product unique

  • • Competitive advantages
  • • Unique value propositions
  • • Features that must stay distinctive

Guardrails in Agent Specifications

When you push an agent specification to GitHub, Linear, or Jira, your strategic guardrails are automatically included. This ensures AI coding agents understand not just what to build, but what constraints to respect — preventing scope creep and misalignment.
