Spec-driven building

Spec-driven building

Key takeaways

AI agents are fast hands, not good judgement; the brief decides the quality.
Write a spec, a plan and a task list before any code is written.
Four working rules: think before acting, keep it simple, change only what is needed, verify the goal.
Constraints create style: two fonts, three colours and one kind of motion beat unlimited choice.
A human still owns quality; review, test and decide what ships.

My take

The fastest way to get good work from an AI agent is to give it less freedom, not more: a clear spec, a small task and a firm definition of done.
