Description
Spec Driven Development approach allows to squeeze more from coding agents thanks to few strong concepts: - decomposition across two dimensions. first you generate specs in multiple steps (requirements, code analysis, design), than you split task into multiple subtasks and implement them one by one - you clear context between every step - after spec generation and after subtask implementation. this helps keep cost low and context clear and focused which boost performance - specs written to disk help with information persistency - delivering specs layer by layer help to catch early when agent got you wrongRepo with claude plugin for spec driven development: https://github.com/sermakarevich/sddw

Competitors mentioned: Claude Code plan mode, agent-flywheel workflow, OpenSpec, Superpowers, GSD (for gigantic projects)
Concerns raised: Lack of benchmarks/evals vs other approaches, Agent adherence and laziness issues requiring manual review, Token consumption claims not backed by data, Agents produce output requiring significant manual refinement, Unclear if it actually improves performance over simpler methods
Feature requests: Automatic task decomposition from desired state vs current state, Work at desired-state level without manual intermediate steps, Integration with agent orchestration/fleet tools
