What a Pantion Dialog session looks like
This walkthrough shows a software project. The same flow applies to image, video, and other domains — different questions, same steps.
1. Describe what you want
You tell your coding agent what you’re building. For example:
Start a Pantion dialog. I want a task management app where users can create, edit, and complete tasks. Tasks should have a title, description, priority level, and due date.
The agent calls pantion_start and The Pantion Dialog begins the convergence process.
2. Answer the questions
The Pantion Dialog asks clarifying questions, one at a time. Every answer gets classified as HARD (fixed constraint) or FLEX (safe default).
Example questions:
- “Should completed tasks be deletable or archived?”
- “Is there a maximum number of tasks per user?”
- “Should priority levels be customizable or fixed?”
3. Convergence
When your answers stop producing new behavior, The Pantion Dialog declares convergence. You now have a canon – your single source of truth.
4. Build
Call pantion_build and your coding agent builds from the canon and spec files. For image or other domains, you get a ready-to-use prompt for your external tool. Every piece of the output traces back to a specific part of your conversation.
