What it does

Reqord stores requirements in Git repos using YAML and Markdown, enforces traceability from requirements to GitHub issues, and offers features like SMART quality scoring, PR-based approval, a web dashboard, and AI integration via the Claude Code plugin.

Who it's for

It is designed for developers and teams who need structured, version-controlled requirements integrated with their codebase and AI coding tools.

Why it matters

Reqord solves the problem of scattered, unstructured requirements by providing a unified, versioned source of truth that AI tools can access to maintain context across coding sessions.
