# Spec-Driven Development ## Overview Write a structured specification before writing any code. The spec is the shared source of truth between you and the human engineer — it defines what we're building, why, and how we'll know it's done. Code without a spec is guessing. ## When to Use - Starting a new project or feature - Requirements are ambiguous or incomplete - The change touches multiple files or modules - You're about to make an architectural decision - The task would take more than 30 minutes to implement **When NOT to use:** Single-line fixes, typo corrections, or changes where requirements are unambiguous and self-contained. ## The Gated Workflow Spec-driven development has four phases. Do not advance to the next phase until the current one is validated. ``` SPECIFY ──→ PLAN ──→ TASKS ──→ IMPLEMENT │ │ │ │ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ Human Human Human Human reviews reviews reviews reviews ``` ### Phase 1: Specify Start with a high-level vision. Ask the human clarifying questions until requirements are concrete. **Surface assumptions immediately.** Before writing any spec content, list what you're assuming: ``` ASSUMPTIONS I'M MAKING: 1. This is a web application (not native mobile) 2. Authentication uses session-based cookies (not JWT) 3. The database is PostgreSQL (based on existing Prisma schema) 4. We're targeting modern browsers only (no IE11) → Correct me now or I'll proceed with these. ``` N
