Shotgun CLI: Codebase-Aware Specification Engine for AI Coding Tools
By
Bartek Pucek
Hard to chew. Probably not worth the jaw work.
Summary
Shotgun CLI is a codebase-aware specification engine designed to enhance AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Lovable. It addresses the 'garbage in, garbage out' problem by allowing AI tools to read and understand the user's actual code repository, creating grounded specs and diagrams. The tool provides clean Webview previews and enables sharing of artifacts with teams or publicly.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledThat's what happens when you send your AI riding blind. Garbage in → garbage out.
So we built Shotgun — your codebase-aware spec engine for AI code-gen tools.
Think of it as your AI posse: researching, planning & building software.
Shotgun goes one step further — it can actually read your repo, grounding specs and diagrams in your real codebase.
Repo-aware, multi-agent, and local-first — Shotgun creates decision-ready specs and shareable artifacts.
