An open directory tracking spec-driven development frameworks and real-world projects over time, to evaluate how effective different approaches are in practice.
Matt Pocock's composable family of agent skills built around "grilling" — a relentless one-question-at-a-time interview that aligns human and agent before code is written — chaining into spec, tickets, and TDD implementation.
Open-source toolkit from GitHub that scaffolds a phase-gated, spec-first workflow into any of 40+ AI coding agents.
Change-folder-based SDD for AI coding assistants — fluid, iterative, and explicitly built for brownfield codebases, not just greenfield.
Agile AI development framework that simulates a full team of specialized agent personas across a four-phase lifecycle, scaling its ceremony to project complexity.
Open-source AI video workspace powered by AI agents — novel to character, scene, and prop design to script, storyboard, and video, with cross-shot consistency — built almost entirely through Superpowers plan/design-doc pairs.
An open-source desktop client (Tauri 2 + React 19 + Rust) that wraps Claude Code, Codex CLI and other AI coding tools in a GUI — running the heaviest OpenSpec workspace we track, with hundreds of archived change folders and strict validation gates.
"More than just IM" — a distributed instant-messaging platform in Go whose v3 rewrite (multi-raft runtime, cluster storage, gateway) is driven through a large corpus of superpowers design specs and implementation plans.
