Advanced spec-driven development… with a surprise
Abstract
This workshop builds on the DeepLearning.AI short course Spec-Driven Development with Coding Agents and is aimed at developers who already know the basics.
Paul Everitt and Konstantin Chaika start from an existing project with its constitution and agent rules in place, then run a full feature loop (spec, plan, implement and validate) using Superpowers, a popular skills library for coding agents. It’s a live walkthrough, and the repo, setup steps and prompts are shared afterward. Stay for the surprise at the end.
