The article contrasts this with spec-driven development and highlights that, in regulated industries, specifications must include stakeholder needs, verification criteria, and governance records rather than being just a detailed prompt. As a result, it evaluates and recommends tools by whether they preserve an authoritative, reviewable product context across the lifecycle and by how well each layer supports the handoff from requirements to coding and proof of satisfaction.
