I hope most people aren't writing specs for humans any longer.

I think writing specs for agents is really helpful and smart.

And I think that also takes a different form.

And the way that we write them, I think then also becomes different.

But yeah.

Some things are still helpful to be similar, like, you know, who am I building for?

What problem am I trying to solve?

Kind of like what like those fundamental things.

But when you're writing for a thing that's actually going to do the job, I think you just you you end up like creating different different types of details and kind of also even just structuring what you're writing differently.

You.

it's good to use examples build up like a context library of things that have worked in the past that you want to emulate things that haven't worked in the past that you want to avoid all of these things that when you're writing to a human you just assume that they have that tacit knowledge that you know since you've been working on these things together they like they they understand that that you don't feel like you need to embed as much of like the you know context engineering effectively

into the spec that when you're going to have something that is actually bootstrapping and coding based on that on spec and that plan file in a very direct and fundamental way, I think it changes what you put in there.

I also think it should change how you write it.

You should use the thing that's going to code it to help you write it, because it's going to end up creating a version of that output that is more compatible with what it understands to do the work.

Do we see that?

i i would say we will see a little bit of both i actually think that this will lead to creativity and and certainly like taste standing out more than ever because i think you're going to have this like flattening where you are going to have a lot of things that just like oh you know here we go it's this it's the same dialogue it's the same flow like this this is what works these things have learned that this is what works and this this is what they're putting out

But that actually, I think, gives more room for the standouts to shine, for the things that kind of have that taste and creativity to shine.

And fundamentally, that's still like the human the human job is to figure that out.

So I get that.

Maybe the analogy to describe that flattening, just to go back to Instagram and what Instagram did to photos.
