Shape the request.
Keep the intent.

Reqraft takes the rough thing you were about to send an AI and turns it into a clear instruction — then checks for known scope additions and disproportionate expansion.

01 The rewrite

Better instructions.
Same intent.

Reqraft sits just before the AI — an extremely light layer between your thought and the model. Not a chatbot, not an agent, not another IDE. It improves the request while preserving explicit constraints and surfacing possible drift.

clarified — grammar, target and constraints made explicit
preserved — “don’t touch the menu” survives the rewrite
checked — known scope additions are reported when detected

Add a red button to the header, reusing existing components and styles, without modifying the menu.└ the explicit menu constraint survives the rewrite and no known scope warning is detected.

02 Fidelity control

Rewrite, then verify.

A model can expand a small request into unasked-for scope. Reqraft runs local checks for known additions and disproportionate expansion — and shows a warning when those checks detect drift.

Not “AI that rewrites your prompt.” A tool that improves your request and keeps its quality signals visible.

    Your words don’t
    become our data.

    Model-agnostic

    Reqraft uses the keys, provider and model you configure.

    AnthropicOpenAIDeepSeekMistralOpenAI-compatible

    OpenAI-compatible endpoints can be configured, including compatible local servers.

    Local-first

    A developer tool, not a pipeline into someone’s database.

    • ✓No telemetry by default
    • ✓No centralized prompt history
    • ✓No Reqraft database absorbing your requests
    • ✓Credentials use environment variables or supported system storage
    • ✓Only your chosen provider ever receives the request
    before anything is sent — local secret detection deploy with token ghp_9f3Kx2… and rotate it after
    ! github token detected— blocked locally by default; --force remains explicit

    Write it rough.
    Send it right.
