What it does
SpecDD is an open-source framework for specification-driven development with AI. Unlike existing AI coding workflows built around prompts, chat history, or massive docs folders, SpecDD keeps small structured specs close to the code they describe. The goal is to preserve intent before, during, and after implementation, reducing correction loops, architectural drift, and “plausible but wrong” AI-generated code.
SpecDD is a Spec-Driven Development framework that enables humans and AI agents to build better software
SpecDD™ is an open-source framework for spec-driven development in software, infrastructure, automation, and documentation projects. It gives humans and AI agents a shared source of truth for intent, requirements, boundaries, and completion criteria. The SpecDD framework uses small, local, human-readable .sdd files that live beside the code, infrastructure, workflows, or documentation they describe. These specs document intent, architecture, behavior, boundaries, and local work tasks in a way that both human developers and AI coding agents can follow. SpecDD gives development, product, QA, support, operations, and engineering teams a shared way to preserve intent before AI tools or…from specdd.ai

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…

SpecMind – AI architecture tool for vibe codingNov 2025 · github.com · ▲8I built SpecMind, an open source developer tool for spec driven vibe coding. It keeps architecture and implementation aligned from the first commit instead of letting them drift apart. With AI assistants writing more of our code, projects move faster but architectural consistency is often lost. Each developer or AI can introduce new patterns, and after a few sprints, the structure becomes fragmented. SpecMind helps prevent that by generating and maintaining living architecture specs directly from your code. It works in three steps: 1. analyze – scans your codebase and generates…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
