spec:methodology

Spec-driven development uses living specifications to coordinate teams and automation. A living spec evolves continuously across design, task creation, and governance, using a 3-layer context model to manage requirements and dependencies throughout the lifecycle.

Coordinate agent collaboration using orchestrated delegation between clerk, oracle, and architect roles. This structured approach divides responsibilities across a 3-layer context model, accelerating delivery by managing information flow for targeted agents.

Describe your initial requirements to the system to generate a living spec and a task plan. The system applies a 3-layer context model—Standards, Product, and Specs—to structure the workflow and track dependencies automatically.

Yes, this methodology supports cross-team task coordination. It applies orchestrated delegation and Beads dependency tracking to manage requirements and tasks across distributed teams, ensuring context flows correctly through its 3-layer architecture.

Manage specification evolution using OpenSpec living specifications with Beads dependency tracking. This approach ensures specs remain current across design and governance phases by applying a 3-layer AgentOS context model to track changes and dependencies.

Avoid using a 3-layer context model for simple, single-agent tasks that do not require orchestrated delegation or complex dependency tracking; it introduces overhead designed for coordinating multiple agents and managing living specifications across teams.
