OpenSpec Deep Dive: The Ultimate Form of Specification‑Driven Development

OpenSpec adds a specification layer to existing codebases, offering a pure, brownfield‑friendly, tool‑agnostic approach where specs act as contracts, changes become first‑class citizens, and incremental Delta Specs replace full‑spec rewrites, with detailed workflows, design insights, limitations, and a side‑by‑side comparison to Spec‑Kit.
