spec-driven-development

Write a structured specification before writing any code. The spec is the shared source of truth between you and the human engineer — it defines what we're building, why, and how we'll know it's done. Code without a spec is guessing.

SkillJury keeps community verdicts, source metadata, and external repository signals in separate lanes so ranking data never pretends to be a review.

About this skill
Write a structured specification before writing any code. The spec is the shared source of truth between you and the human engineer — it defines what we're building, why, and how we'll know it's done. Code without a spec is guessing. When NOT to use: Single-line fixes, typo corrections, or changes where requirements are unambiguous and self-contained. Spec-driven development has four phases. Do not advance to the next phase until the current one is validated. Start with a high-level vision. Ask the human clarifying questions until requirements are concrete.

planning-and-task-breakdown

Decompose work into small, verifiable tasks with explicit acceptance criteria. Good task breakdown is the difference between an agent that completes work reliably and one that produces a tangled mess. Every task should be small enough to implement, test, and verify in a single focused session.
