specs-driven-dev

Spec-driven development ensures comprehensive specifications and implementation plans are fully defined and reviewed before coding begins. This specs-first approach streamlines artifact generation like specs and contracts, fostering a more efficient and error-free development process by preventing scope creep.

You can create a specification by running an automated intake interview to clarify requirements and scope. This specs-first process guides you through artifact generation, producing detailed specs, contracts, and a comprehensive implementation plan ready for coding.

Yes, spec-driven development with this approach requires GitHub Copilot or Claude Code support. It integrates with these environments to guide specification creation and supports parallel task execution across multiple agents.

Yes, the spec-driven development process supports parallel execution of tasks across multiple agents. After generating the reviewed specification and implementation plan, you can distribute tasks to multiple agents to execute the coding phase simultaneously.

Spec-first development handles the production of detailed specs using notations like EARS and Given/When/Then. By running an automated intake interview, it clarifies scope and generates structured specification artifacts and contracts that standardize requirement documentation.

The automated intake interview focuses on clarifying requirements and scope to produce specs, contracts, and implementation plans. A limitation is that it requires GitHub Copilot or Claude Code support, meaning it cannot operate as a standalone specification tool outside these environments.
