Course details

Description

What is this course about?

AI coding agents are only as good as the instructions and context they are given. This can be a challenge when you start on a greenfield project, have to work within tight specifications, or are refactoring or updating old code to new specs.

In spec-driven development you start by defining the specifications for your project, then formulate a plan, identify tasks to be performed, and finally implement the whole thing.

Spec Kit is an open source toolkit from GitHub, which streamlines AI-powered spec-driven development. It works with GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and other AI coding tools. Spec Kit gives you tools to define and refine your project's spec, generate plans and tasks, implement everything in code, and review the results to ensure your project stays on spec.
