OpenSpec is a lightweight specification layer designed to improve reliability when working with AI coding assistants by formalizing requirements before code generation begins. The project addresses the common issue where AI tools produce inconsistent results when specifications exist only in chat history. It introduces a structured workflow that encourages teams to agree on what should be built before implementation starts. OpenSpec integrates into development pipelines and acts as a source of truth for AI-assisted coding sessions. By separating intent from execution, it helps teams reduce ambiguity and improve reproducibility in AI-driven development. Overall, OpenSpec serves as an enabling framework for spec-driven software engineering in the age of AI coding tools.
