Run architecture-first coding work with Spec-Driven Develop
Guides Markdown-capable coding agents through large changes with deep analysis, intent refinement, task decomposition, GitHub issue tracking, batch PRs, adaptive control, and review workflows.

## What the agent does
The agent invokes Spec-Driven Develop for complex codebase changes. It analyzes architecture, refines intent, decomposes work into phases, creates local or GitHub-backed trackers, groups implementation into reviewable delivery batches, executes with drift checks, and archives the resulting artifacts.
What this skill actually does
## When to use it
Use this when a coding request is too large or risky for a direct edit, such as migrations, rewrites, architecture refactors, or multi-phase feature delivery. It is a better fit than ordinary chat prompting when the user needs traceable specs, issue-backed execution, and explicit quality gates.
## Scope boundary
This is not a general project-management framework or a generic spec template. The workflow is bounded to AI coding-agent operation through Markdown skills, optional helper scripts, GitHub Issues and PRs when available, and its S.U.P.E.R/adaptive-control execution loop.
## Source evidence
The upstream repository documents the seven-phase pipeline, Spec-Driven Develop, Deep Discuss, Review SPD, GitHub-native issue and batch-PR modes, local-only fallback, helper scripts, and compatibility with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, and other Markdown-capable agents.
