    I have a super simple spec-based workflow. It works amazingly well. I’m amazed how well coding agents can work through what I consider large features.

    Last week, I gave a 471 line spec to implement a major feature and it didn’t flinch. I wrote about it here.

    This is my first time seeing openspec, and it seems to share a similar philosophy to what I've been working on this year.

    If you like this / SDD, I'd appreciate your feedback:

    https://github.com/spekk-ai/spekk-cli

    Similar iterative specs philosophy. Ours is a bit different because we focus on declarative specs and installable agent skills. We chose Go for simplicity and minimal requirements (single binary).

      I've also been building something like this, and browsing spekk-cli, it's interesting to see that we ended up with similar roles. Might be fun to compare and contrast a couple of these systems. :)

    This section https://openspec.dev/docs/setup links to "Concepts"

    Concepts links here: https://github.com/Fission-AI/OpenSpec/blob/main/docs-lab/gu...

    All the docs here are the templates rather than the actual file (I presume: https://github.com/Fission-AI/OpenSpec/blob/main/docs/concep...)

    Somehow not very confidence inspiring...

      I think they might be in the process of re-designing the site and/or moving docs because it all used to work not that long ago, but the site design was completely different last time I checked.

    This looks like exactly what I've been thinking I needed. I've tried Superpowers, GSD and oh-my-claude/openagent and mostly they burn more tokens.

    Lately I've been using stock OMP and its close to the right balance but not quite enough of the brainstorming and spec maintenance built in. I've tried to layer some simple stuff on myself but with mixed results.

    I've been using this, or more pointedly, I built an agent fleet (bespoke harness) where the planner agent uses OpenSpec to generate the plan. Then turns the tasks into a ticket graph.

    It works fairly well, and it is definitely less heavy than SpecKit.

    It's just a bundle of skills and md files...

    Why does it need to have an entire CLI?
