Spec-Driven Development (SDD) has gone mainstream in 2026 as a disciplined counterweight to 'vibe coding,' making precise executable specifications the source of truth while treating code as a generat…
AI coding agents now edit repositories, run commands, and produce branches, making the specification before the work more critical. The spec carries the context, boundaries, and success criteria the a…
A developer built opsx, a workflow tool that enforces a spec-first approach to AI-assisted coding, requiring a reviewed change document before any code is written. The tool separates management and go…
Developer David P. V. released a stack-agnostic CLI tool called opsx that enforces spec-driven development workflows on top of OpenSpec, supporting agent CLIs including OpenCode, Claude Code, and Code…
A developer on Hacker News is questioning the effectiveness of Spec Driven Development (SDD) with LLM coding agents, citing issues with code style and hygiene despite using tools like OpenSpec. The de…
Harness Engineering introduced a reflection mechanism into the OpenSpec workflow within OpenCode, adding a requirements review step that improved AI-generated code quality. The reflection agent, runni…
This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) outlines how teams should use Codex, OpenSpec, and Superpowers for tasks ranging from product planning to troubleshooting, applying to roles beyond software eng…
