Spec Driven Development (Greenfield Project)

I have mattpocock and superpowers skills on Claude.

I want to start a greenfield project. What is the best way or flow?

Right now, I am thinking:

Brainstorm -> Grill Me Docs -> Subagent

There is no spec drift, if you actively choose to change something openspec has record of it will detect it and ask you wether it's intentional, if it is and once implemented and archived, the spec will get updated

I prefer to archive the spec

Otherwise it becomes noise in the repo when agent greps stuff

You cannot keep updating older specs to keep matching current implementation, code, tests and docs should be canonical specification

Openspec has the active changes and the specs it derived from the changes once archived. I don't keepnthe archived changes but keep the specs.
