I Love Spec Kit. And That's Why I Want to Push It Further. GitHub's Spec Kit is, in my assessment, the most intellectually honest attempt at AI-driven development to date. While most tools focus on faster code generation, Spec Kit asks a more fundamental question: What if intent — not code — was the source of truth? This is exactly the right question. The Constitution → Specify → Plan → Tasks → Implement workflow is well-designed. The steerable gates where humans can intervene are smart.
