About spec_driven_develop

An architecture-first workflow plugin for AI coding agents. Pure Markdown. Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, and any agent that reads custom skills.

Spec-Driven Develop is an open-source, platform-agnostic workflow for AI coding agents. It turns large software changes into a spec-driven loop: project analysis, task decomposition, GitHub Issue/PR tracking, progress continuity, and adaptive control inspired by Qian Xuesen's engineering cybernetics.

No SDK. No third-party runtime dependencies. Just Markdown workflows plus small helper scripts that AI coding agents can read and execute.
