Platform
How Bucky models the world — projects, parcels, zoning, feasibility, and services — and how they connect in a typical workflow.
The Platform section explains the core entities that make up Bucky and how they work together. If you've read core concepts, this is the deeper dive.
For Project Scout and map exploration prompts, see Prompting BuckyAssist.
Site exploration
Project Scout on the map — explore blocks, compare options, save site choices.
Projects
The container for a piece of planning work.
Parcels
The land you're studying — geometry, dimensions, identifiers.
Zoning
The rules that govern what a parcel allows.
Feasibility
Whether a project is viable on a parcel.
Services
The builders, designers, and architects who do the work.
A typical workflow
The entities are designed around one through-line — analyzing a piece of land and deciding what to do with it:
- Scout on the map — see site exploration and Prompting BuckyAssist to explore blocks, compare site options, and read an early site summary.
- Create a project — use Review & create to save your selection, or open an existing project.
- Review zoning to understand what's allowed on the parcel or assembly.
- Run feasibility to see whether the project pencils out.
- Engage services to take a viable project forward.
Task-specific walkthroughs live in Guides — start with Prompting BuckyAssist for map and chat prompts.
Developers can integrate over the API (documentation in progress); AI agents can use read-only tools over MCP.
