Glossary

Terms, acronyms, and how RavenKit uses them.

  • FIS (Feature Intelligence System) — The canonical source of truth for product intent, deliverables, and execution state.
  • Corvus — The repo‑first coordinator that reads code, asks for evidence, and drives toolchains.
  • System Lens — The IDE cockpit showing documents, features, tickets, index health, and insights.
  • PRD (Product Requirements Document) — Outcome, scope, success metrics, and acceptance criteria.
  • ERD (Engineering Requirements Document) — Contracts, data boundaries, non‑functional requirements, and tests.
  • Micro‑feature (MF) — Atomic execution unit with deliverables, tests, and dependencies.
  • Deliverable — A testable, binary outcome for a micro‑feature.
  • Toolchain — Deterministic pipeline: normalize → extract → lint → render → write.
  • Code Index — Local, searchable representation of the repo for citations and planning.
  • Index Health — Coverage + freshness of the code index.
  • Insights — Read‑only analytics: hotspots, dependency web, and “where to start.”
  • MCP (Model Context Protocol) — Provider‑agnostic interface for context + planning.
  • Projection — Generated artifacts (PRD/ERD/MF/tickets) derived from FIS.
