Spec Driven Development: AI Assisted Coding With Doc at the Core
summary
Claims that structured, machine-readable specs make AI outputs deterministic and reviewable and shows a concrete toolchain: GitHub Spec Kit plus Visual Studio Code and GitHub Copilot prompts. The demo initializes a repo, writes a constitution and spec, generates a plan and task list, then implements a working NATO Booker CLI as a Java 21 Maven project using PicoCLI with unit tests and commands convert history clear history. The end-to-end generation takes about 30–40 minutes with human review after each step and the implementation runs successfully.
