• Spec-Driven Development: When Structure Helps and When It Becomes Tax

  These don't replace the spec; they govern how the agent acts on it. Superpowers uses guided Q&A to clarify intent, then runs sub-agents behind a verification-before-completion gate. GSD manages context in waves for solo developers. HVE Core runs an RPI loop: Research, Plan, Implement, Review.

• Get Shit Done: A Meta-Prompting, Context Engineering and Spec-Driven Dev System

• Stop prompting. Let the AI interview you to build specs

  Great idea, and some of the tools are already somewhat covering it, e.g. GSD or spec-kit.

• Evaluating AGENTS.md: are they helpful for coding agents?
  4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 17 Feb 2026

  CLAUDE.md isn't a silver bullet either, I've had it lose context a couple of questions deep. I do like GSD[1] though, it's been a great addition to the stack. I also use multiple LLMs as a judge for PRs, which captures a load of issues too.

• How I Used AI to Build a Programming Language with Actors, an ORM, and a SaaS Backend in 12 Days

  The model handled the implementation velocity. GSD, an open-source spec-driven development system, kept it on the rails. Every feature followed a strict pipeline from research to plan to atomic commit. The codebase was shippable after every single step.

• Ask HN: Why is Claude so horrible? Are they paying people to glaze it on X?

  I’ve had good luck using https://github.com/gsd-build/get-shit-done

  It will ask you questions, break down the project into smaller tasks, work through them one by one with UAT check points along the way.

  It also handles managing your context

• LLMs are powerful, but enterprises are deterministic by nature
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Feb 2026

  Your task is certainly doable though.

  You can ask AI to focus on the functional aspects and create a design-only document. It can do that in chunks. You don't need to know about COBOL best practices now, that's an implementation detail. Is the plan to modernize the COBOL codebase or to rewrite in a different language?

  See what this skill does in Claude Code, you want something similar: https://github.com/glittercowboy/get-shit-done/blob/main/get...

• How to effectively write quality code with AI

  The GSD tool (get-shit-done) automates a very similar process to this, and has been mind-blowing for larger projects and refactors.

  You still need to know the hard parts: precisely what you want to build, all domain/business knowledge questions solved, but this tool automates the rest of the coding and documentation and testing.

  It's going to be a wild future for software development...

• GPT-5.3-Codex

  The way "Phases" are handled is incredible with research then planning, then execution and no context rot because behind the scenes everything is being saved in a State.md file...

  I'm on Phase 41 of my own project and the reliability and almost absence of any error is amazing. Investigate and see if its a fit for you. The PAL MCP you can setup to have Gemini with its large context review what Claude codes.
