Coding agents guess too much. On ambiguous tasks, they rush to code or invent a plan that sounds right and misses what you actually wanted. Blueprint reads your code, asks grounded questions that matter, and hands any agent a plan worth executing. The hope is that Blueprint catches what you didn't think to think about. The result is a plan your agent can execute in one shot. Free, open source, and available as agent skills or extensions in Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code.
When the Imbue team started building Blueprint, we thought the final plan (or "blueprint" 🙃) would be the most valuable part.
But what we heard from early developers was that the back-and-forth questions (like being interviewed in multiple-choice rounds) revealed decisions and preferences they hadn't considered at the start.
One dev told us that Blueprint "catches things I didn't think to think about."
So we leaned into the questions. We tuned the prompts to probe edges and we made answers click-through, so you stay in the driver's seat instead of typing paragraphs.
Imbue's own developers now reach for bigger tasks with Blueprint in their toolkits.
Nayana, it was wonderful iterating to simplify and refine the IDE plugin together, congrats on the launch!
free, open source, and available in the editors people are already in rather than a new tool to learn is the right distribution bet for developer tooling. adoption usually dies at the signup screen.
when you're working solo, there's no senior engineer to push back on a vague task. you're both the person writing the prompt and the person who should have asked better questions before writing it. ide extensions make sense — wondering if jetbrains / webstorm support is on the roadmap, or is the vs code ecosystem the focus for now.
This nails a problem I saw constantly as CTO scaling an engineering team from 15 to 120 people. The gap between "what the developer typed into the prompt" and "what they actually needed" was the single biggest source of wasted agent cycles. Junior engineers especially would fire off a vague prompt, get back 200 lines of plausible-looking code, and spend hours debugging something that was wrong from the first instruction. The insight that the back-and-forth questioning phase is more valuable than the final plan really resonates - it mirrors how the best senior engineers work. They spend 80% of their time clarifying the problem and 20% solving it. Blueprint essentially automates the "senior engineer asking the right questions" step. Curious whether you're seeing different question patterns emerge across codebases - like whether Blueprint asks fundamentally different clarifying questions for a microservices repo vs. a monolith.

Who hunted Blueprint?
Blueprint was hunted by Alexander Tibbets. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
