When an agent writes code, the development framework becomes the control system for a non-deterministic worker. Spec-first, agent-driven frameworks have gained rapid traction since 2025; the installable ones, GitHub Spec Kit, obra/superpowers, BMAD, and GSD, and our own, all capture intent through a specification or durable planning artifacts. Since they agree on capturing intent up front, what separates them is how each enforces the engineering discipline that keeps agent-written code clean, correct, and maintainable. Every framework enforces that discipline somehow; they differ in how. We ch
