Spec-driven development (SDD) is an emerging AI-assisted coding approach where specifications become the primary artifact before and during development. The author examines three SDD tools—Kiro, spec-kit, and Tessl—identifying three implementation levels: spec-first (writing specs before coding), spec-anchored (maintaining specs for feature evolution), and spec-as-source (specs as the only human-edited artifact). Each tool offers different workflows and file structures, but all face challenges including workflow inflexibility for different problem sizes, verbose markdown review processes, inconsistent AI adherence to instructions, and unclear separation between functional and technical specifications. The author draws parallels to model-driven development and questions whether these tools amplify existing development challenges rather than solving them.
