Spec-Driven Development Manager FAQs

Question 1

Why does the tool avoid code examples in specs?

Accepted Answer

The principle is to focus on the 'what' and 'why' rather than the 'how'. Keeping code minimal in specs prevents the AI from being biased by potentially incorrect implementation details during the planning phase.

Question 2

Where are the specification files stored?

Accepted Answer

All files are organized within the specs/ directory of your project, categorized by scope (e.g., specs/feat/, specs/fix/) for easy navigation.

Question 3

What is Spec-Driven Development (SDD)?

Accepted Answer

SDD is a workflow where you define the desired state and requirements in a specification file before writing any code, ensuring the AI has clear instructions and a blueprint to follow.

Question 4

Can it prevent duplicate specifications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the tool automatically searches existing specs in the relevant scope and prompts the user to update an existing file or cancel if a similar task is found.

Question 5

How does Spec Manager handle different task types?

Accepted Answer

It uses specific templates for features, bug fixes, documentation, refactoring, and chores, each utilizing structured XML tags appropriate for that specific scope.
