🎯 What is Grove?

Grove is a spec-driven development toolkit powered by AI agents.

Traditional development requires manual "code → review → fix" cycles, which are time-consuming and error-prone.

Grove automates from specification to implementation, integrating TDD workflows and AI auto-review to generate high-quality code at speed.

Why Grove?

✅ Specs Stay Current: Direct code generation from specs keeps documentation and code in sync ✅ Quality Guaranteed: TDD + 3-layer AI review for automatic quality checks ✅ Fast Feedback: Background parallel execution ~28% faster ✅ AI Collaboration: Cross-check with multiple AI agents ✅ Multi-language: Full Japanese and English support

🚀 Three Key Features

1. 🧪 t-wada Style TDD Integration

Test-Driven Development enforced for every task:

For each task:
  Red      → Confirm test failure
  Green    → Minimal implementation to pass
  Refactor → Improve while keeping tests green
  Review   → AI automated verification

Formalizes Japanese TDD tacit knowledge for AI execution.

2. 🔍 3-Layer AI Review System

Implementation → Self Review → Cross Review quality assurance:

Layer	Executor	Timing	Purpose
Layer 1: Implementation	AI Agent	During implementation	Code generation with TDD workflow
Layer 2: Self Review	Same AI Agent	Immediately after (background)	8-point auto-verification + Auto-Fix
Layer 3: Cross Review	Different AI Agent	As needed	Additional verification from different perspective

Self Review Automation:

T001 completed → Self Review launch (background)
T002 completed → Self Review launch (background)
T003 completed → Self Review launch (background)
      ↓
All complete → Report generation → Auto-Fix (max 3 attempts)

8-Point Verification Checklist:

1. ✅ Specification Compliance
2. ✅ Tech Stack Adherence
3. ✅ Task Completeness
4. ✅ Test Coverage
5. ✅ Error Handling
6. ✅ Security
7. ✅ Performance
8. ✅ Code Quality

Scoring: 0-100 points (Critical: -30, High: -20, Medium: -10, Low: -5) Pass Criteria: 80+ points

3. ⚡ Background Parallel Execution

Traditional Sequential:

Implement → Verify (wait) → Implement → Verify (wait) → ...

Grove Parallel:

Implement → Verify (background)
    ↓
Implement → Verify (background)
    ↓
Implement → Verify (background)
    ↓
All complete → Collect results → Fix

Reduces wait time and improves development speed.

📋 Commands

Core Commands (Development Flow)

Command	Description
/grove.constitution	Create project principles and development guidelines
/grove.specify	Define feature specifications (requirements, user stories)
/grove.plan	Create technical implementation plan (tech stack, architecture)
/grove.tasks	Break down into tasks (with TDD workflow)
/grove.implement	Execute implementation (TDD + Self Review auto-run)

🔍 How Self Review Works

1. Background Launch

Upon implementation completion, Verification Agent launches in background:

Task(
    description="Verify task T001",
    prompt="...",
    subagent_type="verification-agent",
    run_in_background=True  # Background execution
)

2. Autonomous Verification & Report Generation

Verification Agent auto-executes:

1. Load Context: spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md
2. Read Implementation: Task-specified files
3. 8-Point Verification: Checklist-based verification
4. Score Calculation: 0-100 points (severity-based penalties)
5. Generate Report: Markdown format
6. Save File: reports/self-review/task-{ID}.md

3. Report Format

💡 FAQ

Q: How is Grove different from Spec Kit?

A: Grove extends Spec Kit with powerful features:

Feature	Spec Kit	Grove
Spec-Driven Development	✅	✅
TDD Integration	❌	✅ t-wada style
Self Review	❌	✅ Background parallel execution
Cross Review	❌	✅ Multi-AI support
Auto-Fix	❌	✅ TDD approach
Multi-language	❌	✅ Japanese/English
Verification Agent	❌	✅ Claude Code support

Q: Which AI agent is recommended?

A: Claude Code is recommended. Full support for background Self Review and Verification Agent.

Other AI agents work but Self Review runs synchronously.

Q: Can I use with existing projects?

A: Yes. Run grove init . --ai claude or grove init --here --ai claude in your project directory.

Q: Can I skip review?

A: Yes. Use /grove.implement --skip-self-review to skip Self Review.

However, not recommended for quality assurance.
