The toolkit includes a CLI tool and templates that help developers outline project requirements, technical plans, and tasks sequentially using slash commands (/specify, /plan, /tasks). This methodology aims to prevent miscommunication and enables AI agents to build exactly what's needed while allowing for multiple implementation variants and easier maintenance. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
