Spec Driven Development

Creates specs before coding. Use when starting a new project, feature, or significant change and no specification exists yet. Use when requirements are unclear, ambiguous, or only exist as a vague idea. Use when a single requirement spans several independently testable capabilities and needs decomposing into a capab...

Overview

Spec Driven Development is a SKILL.md workflow from addyosmani/agent-skills. It is categorized under coding and links back to its reviewed source so users can inspect the complete instructions and bundled resources before installation.

Use Cases

Apply Spec Driven Development as a repeatable coding workflow.
Evaluate the source instructions and bundled resources before installation.
Use the skill with a compatible Agent Skills runtime.

Install Notes

# Review source first
open https://github.com/addyosmani/agent-skills/blob/main/skills/spec-driven-development/SKILL.md

Copy the reviewed skill folder into the skills directory used by your compatible agent.

Security Notes

AIToolly validated the published source structure and license automatically. Review addyosmani/agent-skills and any bundled scripts again before granting workspace, command, or network access.

addyosmani/agent-skills

Coding

Discovers and invokes agent skills. Use when starting a session or when you need to discover which skill applies to the current task. This is the meta-skill that governs how all other skills are discovered and invoked.
