Instant by Falcra

How trusted enterprise software gets built in days, not weeks or months

This isn't AI-assisted coding. The AI drives the whole lifecycle, and people direct it and decide.

The Instant Manifesto

  1. Everyone in one room over handoffs between teams
  2. Reacting to working software over reviewing documents about it
  3. Decisions made on the spot by their owners over decisions waiting for the next meeting
  4. Business-led over developer-led
  5. Evidence that it works over reading every line of code
  6. Verified facts over confident guesses

Read the full Manifesto

Guide

What Instant is, how an engagement runs, who does what, and how the work is signed off.

Practices

Choices you make, enterprise foundations, trusting AI-written code, and the standing rules for the AI.

Run Sheet

Every step of an Instant engagement in order, with who leads it, what to use and what done looks like.

Free downloads

Free tools for building software with Instant. Use them, change them and share them; just credit Falcra. What you can do with each one, in plain English: Licensing.

Instant run sheet (start here)

Every step of an Instant engagement, in order, from Prepare to Release.

A spreadsheet for the Conductor and the Stage Manager, or your project manager, to follow and tick off: 58 steps across the seven stages, each with who leads it, who helps, what to use and what "done" looks like. The Summary tab shows what's next.

  • Each stage ends with its sign-off; a separate tab covers what happens at every Blitz session.
  • The Guide explains each stage, the Practices explain how each step is done; the run sheet puts them in order.
  • Also published as a web page: Instant run sheet.
  • Licence: CC BY 4.0. Copy it, change it and share it, with credit. Run sheets you fill in are yours. See Licensing.

Instant Jira backlog

AI makes the build fast. This is the other 90%: every approval, environment and readiness check, on your board from day one.

  • 15 epics and 130 tasks, from the first conversation to handover, each with its stage, owner role and what "done" means.
  • Imports straight into Jira.
  • Licence: CC BY 4.0. Copy it, change it and share it, with credit. See Licensing.

Information Model for architects; Data Model for the people who run it

Two companion downloads. Run them together and they reconcile: every entity maps to its tables, and every business table to an entity.

Instant Information Model

AI-built doesn't mean undocumented. Architects get the information model they expect, from evidence.

An AI skill and template that produce an Information Model document for an application once it's built: what information it holds, what it means, where it comes from, who owns it, how it's protected and kept, and how it maps to the database.

  • Diagrams, plus an attribute spreadsheet for your architects' tools.
  • Every definition says where it came from: an approved requirement, the code, the running application, or an assumption still to confirm.
  • Gaps are listed with who should answer them, never filled with guesses.
  • Works with any application and any database. Never needs production data.
  • Licence: CC BY 4.0. Copy it, change it and share it, with credit. Information Models you produce with it are yours. See Licensing.

Instant Data Model

How the application's data is stored, generated from the database itself.

An AI skill and template that produce a Data Model for an application after the build and at every release: every table, column, key, index, procedure and trigger, how audit history is built, and how the database is secured.

  • For DBAs, developers and support.
  • Diagrams, a data dictionary for your catalogue tools, and a schema export.
  • Generated from a non-production copy of the database, read-only. It changes nothing and never connects to production.
  • Gaps are listed with who should answer them, never filled with guesses.
  • Works with any relational database. Regenerate it at every release.
  • Licence: CC BY 4.0. Copy it, change it and share it, with credit. Data Models you produce with it are yours. See Licensing.

Instant pull request template

One pull request per Unit of Work, summarised so a reviewer can judge it in minutes.

AI builds produce changes faster than anyone can review them line by line. Most are Tweaks: small cosmetic changes (a colour, a label, spacing) your experts have already seen and accepted on screen. This template groups them as one line and puts the reviewer's attention on what matters: the rules, the risk and the evidence.

  • Which requirements the pull request serves, what changed and why, its risk tier, the tests that prove it, and the independent AI review with how each finding was resolved.
  • Every rule changed or added, with its decision reference. A Tweak that changes behaviour is a rule, not a Tweak.
  • Works with GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps and Bitbucket, with or without the rest of Instant.
  • Licence: CC BY 4.0. Copy it, change it and share it, with credit. Pull requests you write with it are yours. See Licensing.
  • "Unit of Work" is a term from AWS's AI-DLC.

Instant risk tier register

A spreadsheet for recording the risk tier of every part of an application: Critical, Important or Standard, with the reason, who decided and when.

The tier decides how much human review each part gets, so review keeps pace with AI-written code without treating every screen as critical.

  • A change log keeps every tier change visible, and a summary counts parts by tier.
  • Works with any application, with or without the rest of Instant.

Instant sign-off timeline

Your sign-off register as a visual timeline, with the signatories' names at each gate. A single HTML file plus a CSV register; no install, and it works offline.

How to credit Instant

More credit lines, and a "Can I…?" table for every download: Licensing.
