'Grill Me' vs Socratic Method vs Spec-Driven Dev
An architectural analysis of how the 'Grill Me' skill fits into the historical tension between honoring the specification and constantly challenging it through adversarial prompts.
An architectural analysis of how the 'Grill Me' skill fits into the historical tension between honoring the specification and constantly challenging it through adversarial prompts.
Why Matt Pocock's skills are small, composable, and opinionated — and how they compare to Spec Kit, OpenSpec, and BMAD for AI-assisted Android development.
Matt Pocock's /grill-me skill forces adversarial alignment before coding. SDD frameworks enforce architectural contracts. We test whether these two philosophies can actually work together in a single workflow — and where they genuinely conflict.
A complete guide to Spec Kitty — the CLI that turns product intent into a repeatable agent workflow using git worktrees, a 9-lane kanban system, and repository-native mission artifacts.
How to apply OpenSpec in Android and Kotlin projects to keep AI agents aligned with architecture, with practical examples of change proposals, task validation, and living files.
How AI's desire to please you is destroying your codebase. We explore Spec-Driven Development frameworks and how to implement Socratic verification gates in your Android CI pipeline.
A deep dive comparison of two distinct approaches to AI software development: the skill-based methodology of Superpowers and the artifact-guided workflow of OpenSpec.
A deep dive into three tools that solve context rot and keep AI coding agents focused: Beads (git-native DAG issue tracker), LeanSpec (minimal spec-driven workflow), and Taskmaster (PRD-to-task orchestration). Real commands, real workflows, real indie dev perspective.
A thorough analysis of the three leading Spec-Driven Development frameworks: the architectural contracts of GitHub Spec Kit, the change-proposal agility of OpenSpec, and the multi-agent orchestration of BMAD-METHOD.
A deep dive into IDD, Lean SDD, BEADS Workflow, Agent OS, and the Dark Factory concept: emerging methodologies that challenge conventional development flows and raise the abstraction level in the age of autonomous AI.
A senior engineer's guide to SDD for agentic AI: from vibe coding to structured, reproducible development using GitHub Spec Kit, BMAD Method, OpenSpec, SPARC, and more.
