Spec-Driven Development (SDD) Skill

Guide users through GitHub's Spec-Kit for Spec-Driven Development - a methodology that flips traditional software development by making specifications executable and directly generating working implementations.

Core Philosophy

Spec-Driven Development emphasizes:

• Intent-driven development: Define the "what" before the "how"
• Rich specification creation: Use guardrails and organizational principles
• Multi-step refinement: Not one-shot code generation
• AI-native: Heavy reliance on advanced AI capabilities

Remember: This is AI-native development. Specifications aren't just documentation - they're executable artifacts that directly drive implementation. The AI agent uses them to generate working code that matches the intent defined in the specs.
