verified-development

Specification-first development is enforced by applying a structured workflow with mechanical verification gates and specialized agent reviews. This ensures all code strictly adheres to defined, testable specifications and prevents specification drift.

The best way to automate code quality checks is through layered verification gates. This process automatically validates linting, testing, coverage, security, and dead code to ensure strict adherence to project specifications.

The review process works by deploying specialized agents to assess code quality and specification compliance. These agents evaluate code mechanically after verification gates pass, ensuring alignment with testable specifications.

Yes, you need an existing 'verify' command in your project to run mechanical verification gates. The workflow requires structured project files and this command to check if all verification gates pass for the current feature.

No, this structured workflow is designed for complex projects where maintaining strict code quality and adherence to specifications is critical. Projects without strict quality standards or structured files may find the mechanical gates restrictive.

Specification drift and state loss occur during unstructured code development because of missing mechanical verification. Enforcing a specification-first workflow with automated checks and agent reviews resolves these challenges.
