Spec-Driven Development in the Age of Agents
summary
Panel argues Spec-Driven Development makes the spec the primary artifact and shows working tools: Kira and Backlog MD; demo includes an agent hook validating UI commits against a Figma-driven design system that rejects non-compliant changes at save/commit time; presenters claim specs must be machine-parsable so fixes happen at the spec level not generated code; open problems include brownfield legacy migration, LLM nondeterminism and hallucinations, and dependence on proprietary large models — Kira workflow demo.
