Demystifying the 32 Deliverables of the Engineering Design Package (EDP)

Building software with AI coding tools (like Cursor or Claude Code) is incredibly fast, but only if the AI understands what to build. Ambiguity leads to architectural drift, spaghetti code, and constant refactoring.

Demiforge solves this by generating a 32-deliverable Engineering Design Package (EDP). Let's break down what you receive in this package.

The Blueprint Categories

1. Requirements & Scope

  • Executive Summary & BRD: Details the core product goals and target market pain points.
  • PRD & Gherkin User Stories: Explicit functional definitions and user criteria structured for testing.
  • Market Research & Personas: Details competitor comparisons and user authorization scopes.

    • 2. System & Cloud Architecture

  • Solution HLD (C4 Container Diagrams): Visually layouts the services, APIs, and databases.
  • VPC Cloud Architecture: Mapped out for AWS/Azure/GCP private networks or serverless hosting.
  • Security & STRIDE: Threat cards listing mitigation rules.
  • Performance & Caching: Redis caching policies and PgBouncer specs.

    • 3. Code & Database Specifications

  • PostgreSQL Schema (SQL DDL): Clean SQL scripts defining table joins, foreign keys, and indexes.
  • API Documentation (OpenAPI / Swagger): Structured contracts for REST endpoints.
  • DevOps & Dockerfiles: Build configurations ready for CI/CD pipelines.
  • Playwright QA Tests: Automated E2E test scripts.

    • The Power of the EDP

    When compiled into a single ZIP, the EDP contains everything needed to initialize a repository. Feeding these 32 clean, cross-referenced markdown documents to a coding tool ensures it generates structured, consistent, and error-free code from day one.
