SpecArtisan: Turning Requirements into Verifiable Contracts for AI Coding Agents

SpecArtisan addresses requirement understanding deviations in AI-assisted development by converting natural language requirements into structured, verifiable design contracts with Hoare-style pre/post conditions and branch scenarios, employing mechanical verification for structural integrity and semantic checking for behavioral correctness while producing four core artifacts.
