Better Spec

⚠️ Work in Progress: This package is currently under active development and not yet ready for production use. Features and APIs are subject to change.

Control, consistency, and high-level design.

Better Spec is a spec-driven development toolkit that transforms your architectural vision into production-ready code. Stop letting crucial design decisions get lost in translation. With Better Spec, you create executable specifications that serve as the single source of truth for your development team and AI coding assistants.

Define your system's "constitution," create detailed plans with first-class vendor integrations, and ensure every line of code directly traces back to your original blueprint. Move beyond documentation that goes stale—start building with specifications that execute.
