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…

TypMo▲154Hello HN! I’ve been working on a small tool that helps you move from quick wireframe experiments to solid, production-ready prompts. As a designer, I’ve always felt that getting the structure right early saves a ton of pain later. TypMo leans into that idea by grounding everything in IA-style wireframes- fast to create, easy to iterate, and perfect for figuring out what you actually mean before throwing prompts at AI. I’m now pushing it a step further with a lightweight DSL. Still early, still rough around the edges, but with some AI help it’s starting to feel real. Would love to hear what…

I created vibescaffold.dev. It is a wizard-style AI tool that will guide you from idea → vision → tech spec → implementation plan. It will generate all the documents necessary for AI coding agents to understand & iteratively execute on your vision. How it works: - Step 1: Define your product vision and MVP - Step 2: AI helps create technical architecture and data models - Step 3: Generate a staged development plan - Step 4: Create an AGENTS.md for automated workflows I've used AI coding tools for awhile. Before this workflow (and now, this tool), I kept getting "close but not quite" results…

At my work they provided a single Claude subscription for everyone on the team. To be honest I like kiro better as it provides a way better SDD management. But the company can't provide it and I can't afford it yet. Turns out I had the skill creator skill in my claude instance so I made use of it to create this Skill. I made it fully by using Claude but I wanted to make it open source, so I asked it to help me make tests and preparations for it, even a CI to run python tests. Well, we got this results with it: - Phase 2A: 67 static assertions (Python script, runs in CI) - Phase 2B: 15…
