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.

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
📋
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.
