## What is Spec-Driven Development?

Spec-Driven Development (SDD) is a software engineering practice where human intent is articulated as structured specifications before any code is generated. It enables AI agents to execute development work within well-defined constraints, improving alignment between business requirements and delivered software.

## What is Intent-Driven Development?

Intent-Driven Development is a methodology for enabling effective human–agent collaboration through precise intent articulation. It covers context engineering, harness engineering, and agentic coding techniques that allow engineering teams to work productively with AI coding agents at scale.
