A focused knowledge base with article ownership, search and review reminders is buildable. Tettra also connects existing documents and team chat to a maintained question-and-answer workflow; recreating those integrations and keeping answers current adds substantial work.

Build verification: not recorded. How we judge buildability

What you give up

  • Slack-based questions and answers through Kai
  • Maintained imports and connections to existing knowledge sources
  • Knowledge verification and gap-management workflows
  • Hosted operation and a shared place the team already uses

Why people still pay

Teams pay for finding answers inside their existing workflow, keeping knowledge reviewed by its owners, and routing unanswered questions to people who can resolve them.

Your build guide

The stack, security requirements, and agent rules for a focused replacement.

Before you start

  • A supported Node release, PostgreSQL, HTTPS for a shared deployment, and a backup destination. Begin with one workspace and explicit owner/member permissions.
  • Implementation components: Next.js App Router and TypeScript for server-rendered pages and validated mutations. PostgreSQL with Drizzle migrations; Better Auth sessions for a small private workspace.
  • Scope boundary: Slack-based questions and answers through Kai; Maintained imports and connections to existing knowledge sources

Implementation plan

1

Phase 1

Scope and fixtures. Implement this bounded workflow: Create a compact team knowledge base, assign article owners and request periodic review. Let members ask a question and link an approved answer to an existing or newly authored article. Record prerequisites, select representative user-owned fixtures and document the unsupported features: Slack-based questions and answers through Kai; Maintained imports and connections to existing knowledge sources

2

Phase 2

Durable model. Model knowledge articles, owners, review dates, collections, unresolved questions and revision acknowledgments Add migrations or a versioned document format, explicit validation, stable IDs and a visible import-error report. Preserve this rule: A review reminder does not mark content verified; only an explicit owner acknowledgment records a new review date.

3

Phase 3

Complete the first useful path. Implement the workflow's input, review and output interface, with clear controls and explicit empty/error states. Commit related database changes in one transaction. Use version checks for competing edits and an outbox for external notifications; retry delivery independently of saving the record.

4

Phase 4

Permissions and integration failure. Authorize every record read and mutation on the server using its workspace membership; validate payloads, protect mutations against CSRF, and escape user-authored HTML. Request integration credentials and permissions only for the enabled feature; show a disconnected state instead of mock results.

5

Phase 5

Portable handoff. Export versioned JSON plus attachments and a readable CSV summary. Restore into a separate database and compare record IDs and attachment checksums before switching. Include setup, operating limits, fixture walkthrough and shutdown/restart instructions in the README.

6

Phase 6

Acceptance scenarios. An overdue article shows its actual last review date; a member without collection access cannot find its answer through search. Repeat the workflow after restart and with a denied permission or unavailable dependency; show recoverable failure rather than a success placeholder.

WORKING SLICE
Create a compact team knowledge base, assign article owners and request periodic review. Let members ask a question and link an approved answer to an existing or newly authored article.

Build this scoped Tettra-inspired workflow with a documented data model and visible failure states.

Architecture
- Next.js App Router and TypeScript for server-rendered pages and validated mutations.
- PostgreSQL with Drizzle migrations; Better Auth sessions for a small private workspace.

Prerequisites and limits
A supported Node release, PostgreSQL, HTTPS for a shared deployment, and a backup destination. Begin with one workspace and explicit owner/member permissions.
Outside this release: Slack-based questions and answers through Kai; Maintained imports and connections to existing knowledge sources

Data model and correctness
knowledge articles, owners, review dates, collections, unresolved questions and revision acknowledgments
Invariant: A review reminder does not mark content verified; only an explicit owner acknowledgment records a new review date.
Commit related database changes in one transaction. Use version checks for competing edits and an outbox for external notifications; retry delivery independently of saving the record.

Security and privacy
Authorize every record read and mutation on the server using its workspace membership; validate payloads, protect mutations against CSRF, and escape user-authored HTML.

Recovery and export
Export versioned JSON plus attachments and a readable CSV summary. Restore into a separate database and compare record IDs and attachment checksums before switching.

Implementation order
1. Phase 1 — Scope and fixtures. Implement this bounded workflow: Create a compact team knowledge base, assign article owners and request periodic review. Let members ask a question and link an approved answer to an existing or newly authored article. Record prerequisites, select representative user-owned fixtures and document the unsupported features: Slack-based questions and answers through Kai; Maintained imports and connections to existing knowledge sources
2. Phase 2 — Durable model. Model knowledge articles, owners, review dates, collections, unresolved questions and revision acknowledgments Add migrations or a versioned document format, explicit validation, stable IDs and a visible import-error report. Preserve this rule: A review reminder does not mark content verified; only an explicit owner acknowledgment records a new review date.
3. Phase 3 — Complete the first useful path. Implement the workflow's input, review and output interface, with clear controls and explicit empty/error states. Commit related database changes in one transaction. Use version checks for competing edits and an outbox for external notifications; retry delivery independently of saving the record.

6. Phase 6 — Acceptance scenarios. An overdue article shows its actual last review date; a member without collection access cannot find its answer through search. Repeat the workflow after restart and with a denied permission or unavailable dependency; show recoverable failure rather than a success placeholder.

Acceptance
An overdue article shows its actual last review date; a member without collection access cannot find its answer through search.
Use real source data or clearly labeled fixtures. Explain unsupported input and provider failures; do not fabricate analytics, delivery receipts, accuracy claims or security guarantees.

Questions about Tettra

Can you build your own Tettra with AI?

Partly. A focused knowledge base with article ownership, search and review reminders is buildable. Tettra also connects existing documents and team chat to a maintained question-and-answer workflow; recreating those integrations and keeping answers current adds substantial work.

What does the Tettra build prompt cover?

The prompt starts with this scope: Create a compact team knowledge base, assign article owners and request periodic review. Let members ask a question and link an approved answer to an existing or newly authored article. Full-product capabilities excluded from the comparison include: Slack-based questions and answers through Kai; Maintained imports and connections to existing knowledge sources; Knowledge verification and gap-management workflows. Follow the implementation plan and its prerequisites before expanding the build.

How do I use the prompt, AGENTS.md and agent skills?

Start with the Tettra prerequisites and stack, then copy the prompt into your coding agent. Save the project rules as AGENTS.md in the project root. Linked skills are optional packages or source instructions for specific tasks; review their current contents and install only those matching the chosen stack. A skill does not supply API credentials or verify the finished app.

How long will this Tettra project take?

The catalogue estimate is multi-day for the limited scope. Setup, integration approvals, debugging, deployment and ongoing maintenance can add time. This is an estimate, not a delivery guarantee.

What would I give up by replacing Tettra?

Slack-based questions and answers through Kai; Maintained imports and connections to existing knowledge sources; Knowledge verification and gap-management workflows; Hosted operation and a shared place the team already uses. Teams pay for finding answers inside their existing workflow, keeping knowledge reviewed by its owners, and routing unanswered questions to people who can resolve them.

What can I use instead of building Tettra?

The prior-art section lists Vikunja, Plane as starting points. Review their current scope, license and maintenance before adopting one.
