[ 01 ] CATCHES FAILURES
Context-missing failures caught before code.
The hardest bugs aren't in the code — they're in the gaps between people. The PM who forgot to mention the enterprise accounts with custom policies. The billing cron nobody told you runs on a separate schedule. The cached URLs that three different teams own. Relay connects the dots before you write a single line.
CodeRabbit catches code bugs. Relay catches the failures that come from scattered context — the ones that ship because nobody had the full picture.
What Relay catches
- —Enterprise accounts with custom policies nobody mentioned
- —Billing crons that don’t filter for the new state
- —Cached URLs owned by three different teams
- —Test suites that only cover the happy path
- —Scope decisions buried in a Slack thread from last quarter
[ 02 ] TALKS TO YOUR TEAM
You tag @relay. It handles the rest.
Relay reaches out to PMs, engineers, customer success — the people who have the context to get this right. It asks focused questions, synthesizes answers, and loops you in only when a tech decision needs your call.
You make two decisions. Relay handles twelve conversations. Everyone's aligned before the first PR.
Relay handles the discussion
- —Asks PM what “enterprise-ready” means for scope
- —Checks with CS if migration breaks key accounts
- —Flags QA about new auth paths needing test coverage
- —Returns to you: two options, one recommendation
[ 03 ] ONE SPEC
Scope locked. Everyone aligned. One spec.
The spec isn't a summary of what Relay found. It's the output of every conversation — PM sign-off, engineering trade-offs, customer impact — distilled into a single structured document. Everyone already agreed to it.
Hand it to your coding agent. It has everything: verified file paths, real function signatures, scope boundaries, and implementation phases with dependencies.
Spec includes
- —Verified function signatures
- —Real file paths and line numbers
- —Cross-referenced team decisions
- —Scope boundaries (in / out)
- —Implementation phases with dependencies
[ 04 ] SHIP WITH YOUR AGENT
Implement, test, and review — from one spec.
Paste the spec into Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. Your agent gets exact files, real signatures, and ordered implementation phases. No hallucinated paths. No guessing what the ticket meant.
Test against the spec's own success criteria. Review PRs against what was decided — intent-based code review. Not “does this code look right” but “does this code do what we agreed.” No CodeRabbit. No Greptile. The spec is the artifact.
One spec, three workflows
- IMPLEMENTExact files, real signatures, ordered phases
- TESTVerify against the spec’s own criteria
- INTENT REVIEWReview PRs against decisions, not just syntax
