Stop the Chaos

AI Agents are powerful but chaotic. They hallucinate, lose context, and write spaghetti code. Spec-Driven Steroids forces them to think before they code.

  • ❌ No more "vibe coding"
  • ❌ No more unmaintainable messes
  • ✅ Requirements (EARS) first
  • ✅ Technical Design (Mermaid) second

Human <-> Agent

Most tools try to automate everything. We believe in Human-in-the-Loop. You provide the intent (EARS), the Agent provides the draft, you review (Mermaid), then the Agent builds.

Flexible like SpecKit.
Simple like Kiro.

We stripped away the complexity of enterprise tools and kept the rigor.

  • 1 Interchangeable Guidelines: Swap out rule sets for different projects.
  • 2 Platform Agnostic: Works in VS Code, JetBrains, or bespoke agent runtimes.
  • 3 Zero Lock-in: It's just Markdown files in your repo.

Human-in-the-Loop at every phase. You review, you approve, then the agent builds.

I want to add a rate limiter to my API.
PHASE 1 Requirements

I've drafted specs/changes/rate-limiter/requirements.md using EARS format.

Please review and approve before I proceed to design.

Approved. Continue to design.
PHASE 2 Design

Created design.md with Mermaid architecture diagrams.

Review the technical design and approve to continue.

Looks good. Generate tasks.
PHASE 3 Tasks

Generated atomic tasks in tasks.md.

Ready to implement when you approve.

Approved. Implement all tasks.
EXECUTE Implementation

Implementing 12 atomic tasks...

Each phase requires your explicit approval. No surprises. Read the docs for more.

The Triad of Control

🧠

The Brain

Universal Spec Standards. Markdown templates that define the shape of rigorous software engineering.

🛡️

The Enforcer

MCP Server running in the background. Validates every spec file against strict schemas before code is written.

💉

The Injector

CLI tool that surgically injects standards into your existing projects and AI agent configurations.

Native Integration

Works where you work. No new dashboards.

Start enforcing today

npm install -g spec-driven-steroids

Then run spec-driven-steroids inject in your project.

This is just the beginning

We want to bring Spec-Driven Discipline to every IDE and Agent runtime. Whether you use JetBrains, Cursor, or a custom LLM stack - help us build the steroids for it.
