specdrive

engineering process for agentic web development

A professional methodology for multiplayer collaboration on Spec blueprint for your local harness or cloud agents to build in one shot.

It doesn't start with a chatbox.It starts with you.

SpecDrive flips the process on its head. Instead of a quick prompt followed by layer after layer of fixes, start with your intent. Organise the design, define the requirements and agree the specification. Then generate against a plan you can review.

This isn't vibe coding.

The cost of starting without a spec

Gap from your intentRework and complexity
Generate firstA large first draft.
Unspoken assumptions.
Remove the cruftPrompt away what
you never asked for.
Fix the fixesMore patches.
More tangled context.
Complexity compoundsEach change has more
code to reason about.
What you actually wanted
Prompt. Patch. Repeat.
The last mile is still yoursDeployment, domains, DNS
and production checks.
More code + more context = more token use
An illustrative pattern, not a measured forecast: repeated prompting can narrow the visible gap while increasing the work beneath it.
The SpecDrive approach

Agree the intent. Then build it.

  1. You
  2. Design
  3. Specification
  4. Generate
  5. Verify

Start it in v0 or Lovable.Finish it in SpecDrive.

Cloud tools get you from an idea to a working prototype fast. But a working demo alone doesn't guarantee developer standards. Production needs a framework for security, testing, maintainability and rigorous review.

Bring your existing code into SpecDrive. Turn the gaps into a clear roadmap, with specifications, prioritised tasks and evidence for every release decision.

  1. Import

    Bring your repository, stack and existing work.

  2. Assess

    Map the code against your requirements and quality standards.

  3. Harden

    Address security gaps, add tests and resolve technical debt.

  4. Verify

    Review the evidence against release criteria before you ship.
