Roadmap

StatusOpen source on GitHub · Apache-2.0 · install with one command
live

intent-cli is now open source on GitHub under Apache-2.0, installable in one command. We run it in production on about 5 internal projects with continuous /loop operation. From here, the focus is the community and support around it.

Get intent-cli

intent-cli is open source on GitHub under Apache-2.0. Install it with one command and point your AI coding agent at it. Full documentation is available in English and Japanese, and there's a Discord community for questions.

After the OSS decision

What's settled, and what these signals still shape

The core question — open source or not — is settled: intent-cli is open source. The signals below no longer decide that. They still shape what comes next: what we prioritize, and how the support layer above the open-source core grows. They reach us through inquiries, third-party writing, and partnership conversations.

One part of that is here today: J-Tech Japan, the company behind the project, offers paid consultation — pair programming, pair storming, and Intent Storming facilitation — for teams adopting it. Support & consultation →

SignalInterpretationTentative direction
Enterprise teams ask how to deploy this on their own stackDemand is for a serviced product, not a bare toolCommercial / managed offering becomes the more likely path
Repeated "can I install the CLI?" requests from individual practitionersThe CLI itself is what people want, on their own boxesOSS CLI surface + commercial layer on top
Third-party write-ups or talks reference IDD / this site without us askingMethodology is taking root on its own meritsStay concept-first; deepen documentation before product packaging
Partnership or integration feelers from adjacent toolingCategory is forming and interop pressure is realKeep both OSS and commercial options open
Direct requests to participate in a paid private betaBuyers exist before the product is fully shapedOpen the paid private beta sooner than originally planned
Few or no inbound across 3 monthsThe current framing is not landing with anyoneRevisit the methodology articulation before any commercial move
Where your signal reaches us

Two quiet channels we read every day

The table above is the framework. What actually reaches us is more concrete: notes and requests that arrive through the contact form, and mentions on X and other social platforms that touch this site, IDD, or Intent-System. We read them every day. They are not aggregated into a marketing list and we are not chasing volume — we are listening for which kinds of teams are getting stuck where.

A single sentence is enough. "I want to try it," "in our situation it would look like this," "the methodology snags for me here" — each one weighs on what we build next. If anything on this site lands for you, telling us is the most direct way to participate in how Intent-System ends up shaped.
