feature-implementation

Test-driven development for feature implementation requires writing failing tests first, implementing minimal code to pass them, and validating meticulously before deployment to ensure structured, drift-free delivery.

OpenSpec proposals are managed by evaluating scope and impact first. You decide whether to pursue the OpenSpec proposal or direct implementation, then standardize the proposal, task, and design artifacts to improve collaboration and traceability.

Yes, this feature implementation workflow supports both frontend and backend changes. It aligns end-to-end coordination across both layers to enforce structured planning, testing, documentation, and changelog updates for smooth releases.

The best way to reduce drift and rework when shipping features is using a structured, repeatable workflow that enforces test-first development, meticulous validation, and standardized governance artifacts throughout the planning and execution phases.

You should choose direct implementation over an OpenSpec proposal based on the scope and impact of the feature work. This structured decision-making process guides your approach to ensure appropriate governance and artifact standardization.
