SDD Review Specs

Overview

AI-generated specs are initial drafts, not final contracts. They reflect what the AI understood — not necessarily what you intended. Reviewing specs is the most critical human judgment gate in spec-driven development.

Core principle: Every AI-generated spec artifact must be reviewed by a human before any code is written.

Violating the letter of this review process is violating the spirit of spec-driven development.

The Iron Law

NO CODE WITHOUT REVIEWED SPECIFICATIONS

If the 4 artifacts haven't been reviewed, you cannot proceed to implementation.
