 "what": "Spec Kit is GitHub's open-source toolkit that gives AI coding agents structured processes: Spec-Driven Development (constitution, specify, plan, tasks, implement, converge), a bug fixing extension (assess, fix, test) and an idea assessment extension that ends in a go, clarify or stop decision. You install the specify CLI, pick your coding agent integration, then drive the process with slash commands.",
 "why": "143k stars, talked about in 2 AI sources we track",
