How is it different from https://github.com/github/spec-kit ?

Interesting. Still wondering how this is different from a structured app building with let us say https://github.com/github/spec-kit , or using some skills from https://github.com/obra/superpowers . Will try it out.

How does your framework compare to spec-driven development e.g. https://github.com/github/spec-kit ? In my experience, spec-kit produces a lot of markdown files and little source code.

Sounds like the spec driven approach. You should take a look at this https://github.com/github/spec-kit

Nice. It can work with something like https://github.com/github/spec-kit ?
