The Speclr Blog
For professionals who build with intent and precision.
From vague idea to clear specs - Product Definition, Requirements Engineering, Software Architecture, Backlog Planning, AI Development, and the structured practices that separate professional teams from everyone else.
Reading all AI-generated code is theater
Teams that can't stop reading agent-written code mostly have an architecture problem. Verifiability is an architecture property, and whatever can't be checked at a block's edge ends up being read. Where to spend the reading you can't avoid.
Agentic Requirements Engineering
IREB's AI4RE Prompt Guide already treats elicitation, documentation, validation, and management as freely accessible, not sequential. That's exactly the shape a RAG-and-agent system for RE needs, and a reason to stop deliberately before full autonomy.
Spec-Driven Development Has a Rubber-Stamp Problem
Spec-Driven Development was supposed to fix vibe coding's core problem. But its safety mechanism, a human reviewing the generated spec, is exactly where automation bias kicks in. A more complete spec doesn't protect you from that. It makes it worse.
