EPISODE 07What we’ll explore
- What vibe coding gets right — and where it breaks
- Why AI coding agents benefit from structured specifications
- Requirement → spec → plan → tasks → implementation
- Writing useful acceptance criteria
- Giving agents architectural constraints
- Keeping specs lightweight
- Plan-first development
- Reviewing AI-generated implementation against the spec
- Using the approach with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Kiro, and similar tools
- When a spec is unnecessary
About this session
Vibe coding can be fast and exciting, but it can also become unpredictable as projects grow. As AI coding agents take on larger tasks, developers need better ways to communicate intent, constraints, architecture, and acceptance criteria.
Spec-driven development provides a practical middle ground between heavyweight software processes and unstructured prompting. In this session, we will explore how requirements, specifications, plans, task breakdowns, and review loops can help AI coding tools produce better software.
Takeaway
Understand how to give AI coding agents enough structure to work effectively without turning every project into a heavyweight documentation exercise.
Who should attend
No setup required to watch. Bring a messy task from your own work if you want to spec it later.
