STEa
Plan • Build • Test • Document
A closed-loop product system that keeps strategy, delivery, testing, and product intelligence in perfect sync
Meet the System
Four connected tools that eliminate context switching and maintain full traceability
Harls
Capture problem framing, JTBD, workshop notes, and decisions. Transform discovery briefs into structured backlogs with AI-powered generation.
Explore Features→Filo
Manage Epics → Features → Cards with complete user stories, acceptance criteria, and user flows. Send cards directly to testing in one click.
Explore Features→Hans
Run structured test cases, capture evidence, and automatically create bug cards back in Filo when tests fail. Close the feedback loop.
Explore Features→Ruby
The memory of STEa. Capture context from Harls, Filo, and Hans into living documentation. Generate PRDs, build specs, and release notes with AI. Every idea remembered, every spec connected.

Key Features
Everything you need to ship faster with higher quality
AI-Powered Generation
One prompt creates a complete backlog with epics, features, and detailed cards via MCP + LLM integration.
Automatic Linking
Every test case links to its source card. Every bug links back to the failing test.
One-Click Testing
Click "Send to Hans" on any card to instantly convert acceptance criteria into structured test cases.
Auto Bug Creation
When a test fails, Hans can automatically create a bug card in Filo with repro steps and evidence.
Complete Dashboard
Track delivery status, test coverage, pass rates, and cycle time across the entire system.
Source of Truth
Trace any epic → feature → card → test → bug → fix with zero copy/paste.
Mobile-Friendly
Hans works beautifully on mobile devices for testing on the go with quick evidence capture.
Retest Workflows
When bugs are fixed, linked test cases are automatically marked for retest to verify the fix.
AI Documentation
Generate PRDs, build specs, and release notes from Harls/Filo context with a single prompt.
Reviewer Mode
AI-assisted compliance checks for accessibility, GDPR, design parity, and test coverage before launch.
Knowledge Graph
Visualize relationships across discovery, delivery, testing, and release. See how epics link to code and tests.
Release Automation
Pull commits, PRs, and Hans test outcomes into clean changelogs automatically when tests pass.
How It Works
From idea to validated feature in a seamless flow
Start in Harls or your LLM
Work directly in Harls to capture discovery notes, or use your preferred LLM with MCP server integration to turn a single prompt into a complete roadmap of epics, features, and cards that auto-populate in Filo.
Build in Filo
Review generated cards with complete user stories, acceptance criteria, and user flows. Edit, prioritize, and assign work.
Test in Hans
Click "Send to Hans" on any card. Test cases appear with all context. Mark pass/fail, attach evidence.
Document in Ruby
Generate PRDs, build specs, and release notes automatically. Ruby captures context from discovery, delivery, and testing to create living documentation linked to every epic, feature, and test.
Close the Loop
Failures auto-create bug cards in Filo. Fix the bugs, and Hans automatically re-runs tests to verify. Ruby updates release notes with fixes.
