Whoever writes the spec controls the outcome.

In this future, the best developers are the best spec authors. What do you think?

We break down Grove’s talk and how to start experimenting with specs today.

Prompts are temporary. Specs are forever.

OpenAI’s Sean Grove calls specs the “new code.” They force you to decide what good output looks like before you run the AI.

Think reusable clauses, version control, IDEs that validate your spec as you write. 🧵

AI coding tools are powerful, but without structure, they drift.

Claude Taskmaster attempts to fix that, and its growth has been explosive. In just 9 weeks the repo's jumped from 0 → 15,500 stars 🌟

Specs first → clearer intent → better output → code that adapts without drifting.

Why code alone isn’t enough anymore 🚫💻

Most AI tools today just help us write more code, but the real shift is moving beyond code as the source of truth.

At our first London meetup, we dug into a better approach: spec-driven development.

Structure > force.

One structured prompt = same accuracy as eight unstructured ones (via Will Kurt, .txt).

For Claude Code users: clearer specs mean faster output, less context bloat, reusable prompts.

Agent-based coding ≠ just pair programming anymore.
We’re seeing something bigger:

▪️ Parallel agents handling subtasks
▪️ Isolated envs via git worktrees + containers
▪️ New UIs for merge + review

ainativedev.bsky.social @ainativedev.bsky.social · Jun 13

“Vibe coding” with real UI context?

Stagewise is an open-source VS Code extension that lets you click on a live UI element and prompt an AI to change it. It pipes in HTML, screenshots, and context, so the AI knows exactly what you mean.

It’s early, but promising!
