What Is Spec-Kit?
spec-kit is GitHub's open-source toolkit for creating and managing project specifications.
I've been implementing this toolkit with my development teams at work to standardize our project documentation and Github Copliot usage across projects. I've also been using it to help develop this very website. The structured approach has made it easier to maintain consistency across different projects and provides a clear source of truth for both human developers and AI tools like GitHub Copilot.
Here are my main takeaways from using this toolkit so far:
- Helps build source-of-truth for AI models to consume
- Reduces friction between what we as stakeholders want versus what we and AI models build
- Structured branching and version control
