Products

A product is where Tiden stores quality data for one application, service, or delivery stream.

Product code​

Each product has a short code. Tiden uses it in display identifiers such as:

  • AUTH-1 for a spec.
  • [test] AUTH-1 for a test when displayed by the CLI.

Spec and test counters are separate even when display numbers overlap.

Product overview​

The overview page shows:

  • Product name, workspace, and organization context.
  • Readiness checklist.
  • Counts for specs, tests, branches, generated branches, issues, and releases.
  • Quality gate activity.
  • Generated branch review.
  • Recent agent runs.
  • Suggested next actions.

Readiness checklist​

The checklist helps a new product reach a useful baseline:

  • CLI installed and configured.
  • Repository bound to the product.
  • API token available for automation.
  • LLM credential available if agents or intent distillation require it.
  • Specs, tests, or generated branch activity present.

Product settings​

Product settings are used for metadata such as name, description, and product code. Deleting a product is destructive and should be reserved for test data or retired products.

Automatic intent merge​

This setting is on by default. While it is on, Tiden merges the product's intent branches by itself once the work has shipped, and closes abandoned intent branches. See Automatic merge of intent branches.

To turn it off, open the product, select Settings, and switch off Automatic intent merge.

While the setting is off, Tiden does not merge or close any intent branch of the product, and the merge box on each branch says that automatic merge is off. You can still merge by hand. Merges that already ran stay merged.

When you turn the setting on again, Tiden checks every open intent branch of the product at once. A branch that already meets the conditions moves on right away.

To pause one intent branch and keep the setting on, use a hold. See Hold an automatic merge.
