What is SDD (Spec-Driven Development) in the AI Era? The engineer provides a structured specification file specs/checkout_service.md: Armed with this specification, any modern agentic development tool (such as Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or automated CI/CD agents) generates modular, decoupled, production-hardened code. Spec-Driven Development demonstrates how true engineers build software systems that thrive for decades.
