Intent-Driven Development offers flexibility over rigid specs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article proposes Intent-Driven Software Development (IDSD) as a middle ground between rigid Spec-Driven Development (SDD) and chaotic "vibe-coding." IDSD focuses on specifying the intent, expectations, context, and constraints rather than the precise implementation details. This approach aims to increase flexibility, allowing for easier updates when requirements change without needing to overhaul the entire architectural blueprint. The author cautions against "vibe-coding" fixes without updating intent files to prevent technical drift. AI

IMPACT Offers a new methodology for AI-assisted software development, balancing flexibility with structure.
