alt Hacker NewsThe spec can be wrong for many reasons:
1. You can write a spec that builds something that is not what you actually wanted
2. You can write spec that is incoherent with itself or with the external world
3. You can write a spec that doesn't have sufficient mechanical sympathy with the tooling you have and so it requires you to all spec out more and more of the surrounding tech than you practically can.
All of those issues can be addressed by iterating on the spec with the help of agents. It's just an engineering practice, one that we have to become better at understanding
All three of these are real. The audit pass in Ossature is meant to catch the first two before generation starts, it reads across all specs and flags underspecified behavior, missing details, and contradictions. You resolve those, update the specs, and re-audit until the plan is clean. It's not perfect but it shifts a lot of the discovery earlier in the process.
The third point is harder. You still need to know your tooling well enough to write a spec that works with it. That part hasn't gone away.
