How is this different from what Kiro does? https://kiro.dev/blog/deep-spec-analysis/

Ok, so the proposed answer here is to define the spec in what is essentially code for another LLM to then interpret into different code?

I'm not sure if this does much more than a grillme skill and then poking an agent to do the work.

The related https://fizzbee.ai/ tool is pretty neat. It's similar to /grillme but with additional formalism. Not sure if the resulting specs are definitively better, if only because the FizzBee code is harder for me to decipher.

Today, most coding agents support spec-driven development (or plan mode).

They typically capture the requirements, design, and implementation plan in Markdown files. But is that Markdown file actually a specification?

This article explores how formal analysis can uncover requirements gaps that are easy to miss.
