→
Step 2
Specification
/specify captures intent; agent writes it first

Why the approach draws attention
Addresses drift: vibe coding without a clear spec can move away from original intent.
Separates intent from implementation as AI agents take on more software work.
Strong developer interest, shown by the star count.
