Spec-Driven Development (SDD) makes structured specs the shared source of truth for humans and AI. Teams define requirements, constraints, and acceptance criteria up front, then use AI to generate code and tests from that spec. This prevents architectural drift and rework common in prompt-first workflows.
Developer tooling is splitting into two paths as coding agents emerge. One path trusts the toolchain's built-in guarantees like type systems and tests. The other path must build new verification infrastructure because agents lack the same baked-in confidence that compilers and test suites provide for human-written code.
