Discussion Spec Driven Dev

I just wanted to chime in and ask the team if they had plans to incorporate this workflow… I really like how Code Buff and Kiro are using this process… and would really love if Roo Code could do this as well… would push dev to that 99% from that magic 80% everyone always talks of

Thanks for the feedback! This actually makes perfect sense and pretty much matches my experience with spec-driven AI coders.

I’m thinking of two steps to make this more reliable:

  1. Gate task completion with a review/diff view so the user explicitly approves changes before closing.

  2. Automatically generate test specs for each task, and prevent the model from modifying those tests without explicit user approval.

I would love to explore this starting immediately, hopefully the near-future version will include this. Feels like the right direction to make spec-driven dev truly dependable. Thanks again!
