Select a scenario
Quest offers three scenarios:
After a task starts, you cannot switch scenarios.
|
Scenario |
Use case |
Quest behavior |
|
Spec-driven |
Complex features, refactoring, and tasks requiring strict quality control. |
Aligns on scope, designs an implementation plan and acceptance criteria, then executes. |
|
Build a website |
Building a website from scratch or rapid prototyping. |
Describe your website, and Quest creates the pages and structure. |
|
Prototype exploration |
Quick idea validation and creative experiments. |
Start with an idea, and Quest turns it into a runnable prototype. |
Rules for selecting a scenario:
-
No selection: Quest auto-selects the best approach.
