Spec Driven Development: AI Assisted Coding With Documentation at the Core

AI Assisted coding is changing the way we build software, but there’s one timeless truth: garbage in, garbage out. To get real value from AI pair programmers, we need to give them more than source code: we need precise, human-readable, and machine-interpretable specifications. This talk introduces Spec Driven Development, a practice where specifications and documentation aren’t afterthoughts but the foundation of development. Together, we will explore how GitHub Spec Kit helps developers create, validate, and consume structured specs that make AI output more predictable for developers, and code more understandable for AI coding agents.
