spec-driver 0.2.0

Specification-driven development toolkit with multi-language spec sync and documentation generation

spec-driver

Specification-driven agentic development toolkit with multi-language spec sync and documentation generation.

Why?

• Maintain verifiably accurate, evergreen specs covering your entire system
• Use cheap, fast, deterministically generated docs to complement and audit the work of messy, stochastic agents
• The combination of markdown and YAML is a surprisingly powerful platform for structured, legible data
• Tooling joins related entities through a registry for fast lookup, validation, and relational data propagation
• Stop banging rocks together

Status

Alpha - Under active development. API and CLI may change.

Features

• Multi-language spec sync: Automatically sync specifications with Go and Python codebases
• Architecture Decision Records (ADRs): Manage and track architectural decisions
• Delta/Change tracking: Track and manage specification changes and revisions
• Documentation generation: Generate documentation from code using AST analysis
• Workspace validation: Ensure consistency across specification artifacts

Installation

From GitHub (Development)

# Install from latest commit
uv add git+https://github.com/davidlee/spec-driver

# Or use with uvx (no installation)
uvx --from git+https://github.com/davidlee/spec-driver spec-driver-sync --help

From PyPI (Future)

uv add spec-driver

Usage

spec-driver provides multiple CLI commands:

Specification Sync

# Sync specifications with codebase
spec-driver-sync

# Dry run to see what would be synced
spec-driver-sync --dry-run

# Sync specific language
spec-driver-sync --language python

Architecture Decision Records

# Create new ADR
spec-driver-adr new "Use event sourcing for audit trail"

# List ADRs
spec-driver-adr list

# Show ADR details
spec-driver-adr show ADR-001

Deltas and Changes

# Create delta
spec-driver-delta

# List deltas
spec-driver-delta-list

# Complete delta
spec-driver-delta-complete DELTA-001

Other Commands

• spec-driver-spec - Create new specification
• spec-driver-spec-list - List specifications
• spec-driver-requirement - Manage requirements
• spec-driver-revision - Create revision blocks
• spec-driver-validate-workspace - Validate workspace consistency

Project Integration

spec-driver is designed to be integrated into projects using:

1. Directory structure: specify/ and change/ directories for artifacts
2. Justfile module: Integration with project build tools
3. Agent instructions: Claude Code integration via agent files

Installation script (future):

uvx spec-driver install
