SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

SPEC → PLAN → EXECUTE → VERIFY → COMMIT. Before writing code, a finalized SPEC must exist, ensuring atomic commits and empirical proof of completion to prevent vague or partial work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SPEC-first workflow: guarantees a finalized spec before implementation.
  • Wave-based PLAN: decomposes work into independent, auditable tasks.
  • EXECUTE protocol: uses structured task formats and deterministic execution.
  • VERIFY and COMMIT: empirical validation and one-commit traceability for each task.
  • Use Case: teams shipping features with strong guardrails and auditable history.

Quick Start

Create a finalized SPEC at .gsd/SPEC.md and then execute the workflow: PLAN → EXECUTE → VERIFY → COMMIT.

FAQPage Schema
What is a spec-first software delivery workflow?▼

A spec-first workflow mandates a finalized SPEC document before any coding begins, ensuring every development phase produces verifiable results and preventing partial implementations.

How do I enforce one-commit-per-task discipline in my development process?▼

You can enforce one-commit-per-task discipline by following a wave-based workflow that executes structured tasks, verifies them empirically, and commits each individually to maintain auditable history.

What's the best way to decompose software features into auditable tasks?▼

The best way to decompose features into auditable tasks is using a wave-based PLAN phase, which breaks down the finalized spec into independent, verifiable units matching defined acceptance criteria.

Do I need a finalized spec before starting the execute phase?▼

Yes, a finalized spec at .gsd/SPEC.md is strictly required before executing code, serving as the foundation for deterministic execution and empirical validation against acceptance criteria.

How does empirical verification work in a commit-tracking workflow?▼

Empirical verification validates each completed task against defined acceptance criteria using objective proofs, ensuring the one-commit-per-task traceability accurately reflects finalized, working functionality.
