Canon — spec-driven development platform
Project description
Canon
Spec-driven development, automated.
Canon is an AI-native documentation platform. Write structured specs in markdown, and AI agents handle PR reviews, ticket sync, and code verification — keeping product, engineering, and business aligned.
This is the private monorepo. The open-source repo is at canonhq/canon.
Features
- Spec-Aware PR Reviews — Analyzes PRs against relevant specs, identifies which acceptance criteria are addressed, flags gaps
- Bidirectional Ticket Sync — Spec sections sync to Jira, Linear, or GitHub Issues in both directions
- Code-Aware Verification — AI verifies that acceptance criteria are actually implemented, not just that tickets were closed
- Coverage Dashboard — Track spec completion across your org by repo, team, and status
- CLI & MCP Server — Plan, verify, status, sync, search, and dashboard commands with rich terminal output. MCP server for AI coding agents.
- Claude Code Plugin — Spec-aware skills for spec-driven development workflows
Quick Start

Development
With Devbox (recommended)
Devbox provides a reproducible environment with all tools:
curl -fsSL https://get.jetify.com/devbox | bash # one-time install
devbox shell # enter environment
devbox run test # run tests
devbox run lint # lint + format check
devbox run dev # start dev server
Without Devbox
uv sync --extra dev --extra cloud
uv run pytest
uv run ruff check
uv run uvicorn canon.main:app --reload
See docs/contributing/testing.md for the full testing guide (integration tests, scenario tests, contract recording).
