Show HN: Spec-Driven Development Workflow for Claude Code

Source: Hacker News

Overview

The Spec‑Driven Development (SDD) approach enables you to get more out of coding agents by applying a few strong concepts:

• Two‑dimensional decomposition:

  1. Generate specifications in multiple steps (requirements, code analysis, design).
  2. Split the overall task into multiple subtasks and implement them one by one.

• Clear context between every step:
  Reset the context after spec generation and after each subtask implementation. This keeps costs low and the context focused, which boosts performance.

• Persisted specifications:
  Writing specs to disk ensures information persistency across sessions.

• Layer‑by‑layer delivery:
  Providing specs incrementally helps catch mistakes early when the agent deviates from the intended solution.
