Cool idea, hadn't considered the use of lesser models picking up the implementation set by the strong model plan.

Question regarding the actual code generated, is this a priority to you beyond looking at it meets the design doc? For example, if the LLM goes ahead and builds the feature that passes the tests, but the code contains duplicate functions, abstractions etc, would you steer the LLM to fix that, or even dive in yourself to rearchitect?

Ask HN: Are you using Spec Driven Development?

Developers working with LLMs in a professional environment, is Spec Driven Development really the way forward with LLM coding agents?Over the past few months I've really tried to lean into SDD, after trying SpecKit and GSD, I finally settled on OpenSpec as my preferred spec generator.However I'm not quite ready to give up on understanding the actual code that the LLM is producing.To help with...
