Spec-Driven Development (SDD) is presented as an alternative to 'vibe coding', where AI generates code from vague prompts without clear rules. SpecKit is an open-source toolkit that structures AI-assisted development into sequential steps: Constitution (project rules), Specify (feature spec), Clarify (gap-filling), Plan (technical blueprint), Tasks (ordered work items), Analyze (consistency check), and Implement (task-by-task coding). Syncfusion Code Studio serves as the AI-powered IDE where all SpecKit commands are executed via chat. A practical walkthrough demonstrates building a nested subtasks Todo feature using this workflow. Best practices include starting small, using separate chat sessions per command, choosing capable AI models, and being specific when refining outputs.
