Create a Base product requirements document #1004

Description

@codeforester

Base has several maintained product and technical documents, including README.md, docs/why-base.md, docs/architecture.md, docs/tool-boundaries.md, and docs/product-assessment.md. What is missing is a concise product requirements document that states the accepted product intent, user workflows, scope boundaries, requirements, and maintenance rules in one canonical place.

Create a PRD that:

  • Defines Base as a macOS-first local workspace control plane for multi-repo developers.
  • Separates product intent and requirements from implementation details.
  • Links to existing technical and assessment docs instead of duplicating them.
  • Captures target users, jobs to be done, scope, non-goals, success criteria, and accepted requirements.
  • Documents how the PRD should stay current as Base evolves.
  • Updates the documentation map and AI context index so contributors and agents know where the PRD fits.

The PRD should be created through a pull request and left for maintainer review before merge.
