Managing Product Requirements with a Cowork Live Artifact and Dependency Graph

The author built a Live Artifact that reads frontmatter from local requirements docs, shows each item's stage, and renders dependencies, using FlashQuery to bridge the filesystem-access gap.

Built a Cowork Live Artifact for product requirements and dependency tracking

Source
📋

Scenario

Requirements, research, and specs lived in local files. The author needed a live daily view instead of manually maintaining a separate tracker.

💬

Prompt

Build a Cowork Live Artifact that connects to my requirements docs, reads frontmatter, shows the stage of each item, and displays a dependency graph. Use FlashQuery as the bridge to access the local documents, then make the dashboard usable day to day for PRD and spec management.

Expected Result

The final dashboard shows requirement stages and a dependency graph in real time. The dependency graph became the most valuable part, and the author now uses it day to day for the same project.

I created a Cowork Live Artifact to manage product requirements research and spec docs. Because Live Artifacts cannot natively read my file system, I bridged it with FlashQuery. Now the artifact reads frontmatter, shows each item's stage, and renders a dependency graph.
