Spec Kit can generate the artifacts, but humans still have to expose assumptions, own decisions, propagate changes, set stop conditions, and decide what evidence is enough.
A side-by-side comparison of OpenSpec and Superpowers for engineers and architects: what each tool actually ships, how spec generation differs, and where implementation discipline comes from.
Why OpenSpec's explore → propose → apply loop is a better default than built-in Plan Mode: lighter ceremony, durable repo-native plans, and guardrails that keep exploration agnostic until you choose to commit.
A practical workflow for using OpenSpec from exploration to proposal, implementation, quality checks, PR review, merge, and archive without letting specs drift from the code.
A practical deep dive into OpenSpec's expanded OPSX workflows and custom schemas: when to use /opsx:new, /opsx:continue, /opsx:ff, /opsx:verify, /opsx:bulk-archive, /opsx:onboard, and how to design your own workflow.
A practical, source-backed guide for engineers and PMs adopting OpenSpec: when to start with an existing project, when to use it for a new build, and how to run the first workflow safely.
A source-backed comparison of OpenSpec and GitHub Spec Kit for engineers and PMs: workflows, skills, generated artifacts, extensibility, and inferred token trade-offs.
A practical guide for engineers and PMs who want to use GitHub Spec Kit as an investigation workflow: compare alternatives, approve one direction, and turn the decision into a stronger implementation spec.
A practical, source-backed workflow for turning many comments on Spec Kit artifacts into clean pre-implementation decisions, post-implementation deltas, and less chaotic AI-assisted delivery.
A practical research guide for using Gherkin, BDD, Spec-Driven Development, and eval-driven workflows to make AI-assisted delivery clearer, safer, and easier to review.
A source-backed research guide for turning vague engineering ideas into approved requirements, analysis, tasks, implementation, and tests, first with manual prompts and then with GitHub Spec Kit.
A simple, source-backed guide for engineers and PMs to start with GitHub Spec Kit, understand the main commands, and use the workflow cleanly in Cursor or Claude Code.
A source-backed follow-up on routing GitHub Spec Kit phases across fast drafting models, deeper planning models, and stronger implementation models without treating all steps as the same kind of work.
A practical engineer-first guide to turning a messy enterprise feature into specs, acceptance criteria, Beads task graphs, git worktrees, and parallel delivery across Cursor and Claude Code.
