AI coding assistants are remarkably good at generating code, but they are equally good at generating code that does not actually solve the user&rsquo;s problem. They misinterpret requirements, hallucinate features, and build elaborate solutions for problems that do not exist. <strong>OpenSpec</strong> tackles this alignment problem head-on with a specification-driven development (SDD) framework that has attracted over 37,000 GitHub stars.</p> <p>Created by Fission AI, OpenSpec is built on a simple but transformative premise: developers and AI assistants should agree on what to build before a single line of code is written. The framework enforces a five-step workflow &ndash; spec, plan, code, review, commit &ndash; that mirrors the structured thinking of professional software engineering but executes at AI speed. Every step produces artifacts that both human and AI can inspect, critique, and refine.</p>
