Spec Driven Development

Write the spec before the code. AI implements, humans verify.

Spec Driven Development is a workflow where changes start as structured proposals — problem statement, capabilities, design decisions, and task breakdown — before any code is written. AI agents then implement against the spec while humans review the output.

The spec is the contract between intent and implementation. It forces clarity before complexity. Vague requirements become concrete capabilities. Architectural decisions get documented before they're buried in code. The AI gets unambiguous instructions instead of guessing. We use SDD for every non-trivial change across all projects.
