Spec Driven Development

Описание: Spec-Driven Development (SDD) represents a fundamental shift in how we approach software creation. It "flips the script" on traditional development methodologies where specifications are often treated as disposable scaffolding, discarded once the "real work" of coding begins. In the SDD paradigm, specifications evolve into executable artifacts that directly generate working implementations rather than merely guiding them. This guide provides a practical, step-by-step path for development teams to adopt this powerful methodology using the Spec Kit toolkit.
The core philosophy of Spec-Driven Development is built on four foundational principles:
• Intent-driven development: The process begins by clearly defining the "what" and "why" of a feature, deliberately deferring the "how" until the intent is fully understood and captured.
• Rich specification creation: Specifications are not simple text documents but are crafted with guardrails and organizational principles that ensure they are detailed, consistent, and interpretable by AI agents.
• Multi-step refinement: Instead of relying on a single prompt to generate a final product, SDD uses a structured, iterative process of clarification, planning, auditing, and implementation to ensure high-quality outcomes.
• Heavy reliance on advanced AI model capabilities: The entire workflow is designed to leverage the sophisticated interpretation and generation capabilities of modern AI coding agents to translate human intent into functional code.
