Spec-driven implementation workflows keep tech specs aligned with code changes by requiring both to be updated in the same pull request, ensuring review clarity and traceability. This prevents implementation drift from approved product and tech specs.

A spec-driven implementation workflow is a process where approved product and tech specs dictate the code changes, requiring both specs and implementation to evolve together in a single coherent commit within the same branch or pull request.

To start a feature branch implementing an approved spec, create a branch that executes the feature implementation while updating both the product and tech specs in the same pull request to ship a verified implementation.

Yes, spec-driven workflows require approved product and tech specs to ship features, ensuring that implementation changes are committed together with spec updates in the same pull request to maintain code alignment.

The best way to prevent implementation drift is using a disciplined spec-driven workflow that keeps product and tech specs up to date as the feature evolves, ensuring specs drive implementation and changes are committed together.

Implementation drifts from approved tech specs when code changes evolve separately from documentation, a problem solved by committing spec updates and code changes together in the same pull request to maintain alignment.
