I Built SpecDD Because AI Kept Forgetting What We Were Building - and Between the Two of Us, We Couldn't Spec-ify a Thing
Summary
The article introduces SpecDD, a specification-driven development framework that uses local, structured .sdd files to provide AI agents with exact, context-relevant constraints and ownership. It argues that AI-assisted development fails primarily due to context misalignment rather than intelligence and outlines how controlled, contract-like specifications can improve reliability, onboarding, and collaboration across humans and AI in software projects.
