Specification-driven development

• Spec-first: A well thought-out spec is written first, and then used in the AI-assisted development workflow for the task at hand.
• Spec-anchored: The spec is kept even after the task is complete, to continue using it for evolution and maintenance of the respective feature.
• Spec-as-source: The spec is the main source file over time, and only the spec is edited by the human, the human never touches the code.

Compiler: Source code -> assembly SDD: spec.md -> source code

You: architect -> blueprint AI: technical knowledge, speed

Workflow: Constitution → 𝄆 Specify → Plan → Tasks 𝄇

Project level -> feature level

Constitution:
