Zensu
MVP v0.1 — Private beta now open

Features as first-class
citizens.

The AI-native lifecycle manager. From roadmap to release — manage features programmatically from Claude Code, GitHub Actions, or your browser, with security, docs, tests, and tier gating built in.

The problem

Your features live in three disconnected worlds.

Code generation, project management, and DevOps each own a slice of the lifecycle. None of them treat the feature as a continuous, addressable entity.

Code generation

"How do I ship code faster?"

Claude CodeCursorCopilot

Project management

"What needs to be built?"

LinearJiraIssues

DevOps & observability

"Is everything running?"

Result: features get tracked in three places, lose context between them, and ship without anyone knowing if the docs, tests, or security review actually exist.
Two ways in

Greenfield or brownfield. Same feature graph.

Start from a one-page vision, or point Zensu at an existing repo. Both paths end with a complete feature graph — components, security classification, linked tests, docs, and source files.

Greenfield

Start from a vision

You have an idea, a PRD, or a one-pager. Zensu turns it into a structured product.

  1. Capture vision

    Create a vision document from the Product Studio, MCP, or import.

    create_product_visionMCP

  2. AI bootstrap analysis

    Extracts product, components, features, subfeatures, and security classifications.

    POST /visions/:id/bootstrap/analyze

  3. Apply bootstrap

    Creates product, components, and features transactionally with secure defaults.

    apply_bootstrapMCP

  4. Guided post-setup

    Journeys, security review, tiers, CLAUDE.md — a focused 5-step wizard.

    update_bootstrap_step
Brownfield

Bring an existing repo

You already have code, tests, and docs. Zensu infers features and links them back to source.

  1. Import repo

    Register the URL and repo type, then kick off analysis.

    import_repoMCP

  2. Ghost scan

    Produces feature candidates with confidence scores and detected source, test, and docs files.

    POST /products/:id/ghost/scans

  3. Review & approve

    Batch approve or reject, filter by component, reset on mistakes.

    ghost_batch_reviewMCP

  4. Apply with links

    Creates features and auto-links tests, docs, and source files — enriching matches.

What you get

Built for the way you actually ship.

Zensu treats every external dependency — AI, email, payments, auth — as a swappable interface, so you can self-host or stay in the cloud.

API & MCP-first

Five slash commands cover the lifecycle. Features link to tests, docs, source, PRs, security tags, and tiers — all from your editor.

# Install the plugin (configures MCP automatically)
claude plugin install zensu --scope project
# Then in Claude Code:
> /zensu:bootstrap

GitHub-native

Parse [ZEN-xxx] from commits and PRs, upload coverage from CI, gate releases on test, doc, and security health.

Docs-as-code

Link Markdown docs to features. Detect outdated content automatically. Publish via the bundled Astro wiki.

Security baked in

OWASP & compliance tags, threat models, security reviews, and a score that can block a release gate.

Tier-aware

Map features to Free/Pro/Team tiers with hard, soft, or preview gating. A live tier-matrix per product.

Lifecycle native

Split, merge, deprecate, promote subfeatures, and version with revisions. Full audit trail, nothing handwaved.

AI-native Platform

The AI-native Lifecycle Manager — for the team around the developer.

Claude works in your editor. Zensu works across your team — with the dashboards, audit trail, roadmaps, and compliance UI no CLI tool can deliver. Open-source plugin for the developer, paid platform for everyone around them. German-operated, EU-hosted by default.

Dashboards your team can read

Portfolio rollups across products. Release-gate progress, security posture, tier matrix, journey health — at a glance. The plugin sees one feature; the Platform sees all of them.

Roles, invites, audit trail

Invite PM, Security, Compliance. Per-role permissions. An audit log of who changed what, when, why. Plugin runs in one editor; Platform runs across your org.

AI Studio for product design

Conversational vision-to-product. Describe what you want, refine in chat, commit to a structured product graph — browser-based, async, shareable.

Roadmaps & user journeys

Multi-product timelines, journey-health dashboards, release-readiness gates. Drag features across quarters, see tier rollout windows.

GDPR, SOC2, HIPAA — built in

Per-feature compliance tags for GDPR, SOC2, and HIPAA. Exportable audit log of every status transition, security review, and revision. Required for regulated industries, useful for everyone.

AI usage analytics

Who used which MCP tool, when, and for how long. Org-level telemetry to track AI usage per feature, team, or product.

EU-hosted, or self-host

Hosting infrastructure is BSI C5, ISO 27001, GDPR-native — no US-CLOUD-Act exposure on data-at-rest. Hosted SaaS runs in Germany on Open Telekom Cloud, or self-host on your own Kubernetes for full data sovereignty.

Agentic loop. Your control.

Plan → TDD → review → auto-fix runs end-to-end inside Claude Code. Every layer is opt-out, gated, or capped via .zensu/config.json. Autonomous when you want, supervised when you don't.

Who it's for

Built for teams that ship every week.

Zensu is opinionated about workflow, not about who's allowed to touch it.

Primary

Solo devs & indie hackers

Run 1–5 SaaS products in parallel, already on Claude Code and GitHub. Want overview without enterprise bureaucracy.

Secondary

Small dev teams (2–10)

Need feature ownership, per-feature coverage, and roadmaps that stay in sync with what's actually shipping.

Tertiary

PMs & non-technical founders

Have product ideas, can't read CI logs. Use the Product Studio to turn vision into a structured feature graph.

Quaternary

Designers & UX researchers

Link designs and research to specific features. See at a glance which features are still moving and which are frozen.

Ship features. Not status meetings.

Zensu is in private beta. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know as soon as beta slots open.
