SpecWeave is Built With SpecWeave
This isn't just a framework we made — it's the framework we use every day. 70+ completed increments, full specs, living docs, and real DORA metrics. Every feature you see was built spec-first.
Why SpecWeave?
Build production software with autonomous AI agents that just work—minimal interaction, maximum productivity.
70%+ Token Reduction
Modular plugin architecture loads only what you need. Active increment + relevant plugin + one agent = ~15K tokens (vs 200K+ monolithic). Measurable AI cost savings.
Brownfield Excellence
The hardest problem solved: import existing docs (Notion, Confluence, Wiki), create retroactive specs, generate ADRs and C4 diagrams. Perfect for legacy codebases.
Living Documentation (Auto-Sync)
Specs and docs auto-update after every task via hooks. Always in sync with code—no drift, no manual updates, no surprises. Unique hook-based mechanism.
External Tool Sync (GitHub/JIRA/ADO)
Push specs to GitHub Issues, JIRA, and Azure DevOps. Read status back automatically. Keep your existing workflow—no tool lock-in.
Test Coverage Built-In
4-level testing strategy with full traceability—unit, integration, E2E, acceptance tests. Embedded in tasks.md. 85-90% coverage targets enforced.
15+ Specialized AI Agents
PM, Architect, DevOps, QA, Security, Tech Lead—work in parallel to minimize context usage. Pre-installed, auto-activating, production-ready.
Specification-First (Source of Truth)
Define WHAT and WHY before HOW. Specifications are the source of truth, code follows. Complete traceability from requirements to tests.
Autonomous & Deterministic
Type one command, get production code in hours (not days). Auto-resume, auto-close. Minimal interaction, maximum velocity.
Universal Support (Any Stack, Any AI)
Works with ANY tech stack (TS, Python, Go, Rust, Java, C#) and ANY AI tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, ChatGPT).
❌ Without SpecWeave
- Tell AI: "Build me a feature"
- Back-and-forth messages for every detail
- Code generated without specs or architecture
- Manually test, manually fix bugs
- Docs drift or don't exist
- Start over for next feature
Result: High cognitive load, constant context switching, no documentation = regression risk.
✅ With SpecWeave
- Type
/specweave:increment "feature" - Autonomous agents ask clarifying questions, create spec/plan/tasks, review with you
- Type
/specweave:do - Agents work in parallel, auto-resume, validate at milestones, update docs continuously
- Type
/specweave:progressanytime to see status - Type
/specweave:increment "next"to seamlessly move forward
Result: Minimal interaction, natural flow. Production-ready software with living documentation and full traceability.

Greenfield SaaS & Web Apps
Start new projects with specs from day one. Full-stack apps, APIs, microservices — all with permanent documentation, automated testing (85%+ coverage), and living docs that never drift from code.

Brownfield Modernization
Document existing code before modifying. Import from Notion, Confluence, GitHub Wiki. Create retroactive specs, ADRs, and architecture diagrams. Reduce onboarding from weeks to days.

Regulated & Enterprise
Healthcare (HIPAA), Finance (SOC 2, PCI-DSS), Government — compliance-ready with full audit trails. Every decision documented, every change traceable, every requirement linked to tests.
