Intro

Spec-Driven Develop is a spec-first skill/plugin for big agent changes; verified 715★ with installs for Claude Code, Codex marketplace, and Cursor.

Best for: Large migrations or rewrites where you want an agent to produce a plan/spec first, then execute with checkpoints

Works with: Claude Code plugins, Codex CLI plugin marketplace, Cursor skills, and generic Markdown-based agent skills

Setup time: 5-15 minutes

Main

  • The README is explicit about multi-platform packaging: Claude Code plugin metadata, Codex plugin marketplace files, Cursor install scripts, and a generic SKILL.md fallback for other agents.
  • Because it’s spec-first, it’s best used on transformations (rewrite/migrate/overhaul) where you want a checklist-driven gate before code changes proceed.
  • A pragmatic adoption path is to install it in one tool first (Claude Code or Codex), run it on a small module, then scale to whole-repo migrations once the workflow feels predictable.
  • Treat it as a process tool: you are buying repeatable checkpoints (spec → execute → tests) rather than a single prompt; the value is consistency across big changes.

FAQ

  • Is it tied to one agent platform?: No. It ships plugin packaging for multiple tools and also provides a generic SKILL.md path for any agent that reads Markdown instructions.
  • What is a good first use case?: Try a focused refactor or migration on one directory; verify the spec/checkpoint loop before attempting an entire project rewrite.
  • How do I install for Codex?: The README documents adding the GitHub marketplace to Codex, then enabling the plugin (or configuring it in ~/.codex/config.toml).
