GitHub Spec Kit: Use THIS Before Building Anything with AI (Tutorial)

GitHub released Spec Kit - a FREE open-source tool that revolutionizes how we plan AI coding projects! In this tutorial, I'll show you how to use Spec Kit for Spec-Driven Development (SDD) combined with Test-Driven Development (TDD). This workflow ensures you plan thoroughly before writing or vibing a single line of code, saving you countless hours of debugging and refactoring. I'll walk you through setting up GitHub Spec Kit with Claude Code, creating comprehensive specs, building detailed project plans with research using MCP servers, and breaking projects into granular executable tasks. Spec Kit beats Kiro.dev by being completely FREE and open source, offering more thorough research capabilities, working with your existing MCP servers, and generating test-driven development tasks. ⌚ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Why planning is crucial for AI development 00:22 - Introducing GitHub Spec Kit 00:32 - Spec-Driven Development explained 01:13 - Installation and setup 01:34 - Choosing your AI agent 02:00 - Adding MCP servers 02:32 - Creating specs with /specify 03:10 - Planning with /plan command 04:02 - Breaking down into tasks with /tasks 05:43 - Test-Driven Development integration 07:30 - Tips and future improvements 🔗 RELEVANT LINKS: GitHub Spec Kit → https://github.com/github/spec-kit Book a call with me → https://yedatechs.com/#container06 Sponsorship inquiries → hi@yedatechs.com #GitHubSpecKit #SpecDrivenDevelopment #TestDrivenDevelopment #ClaudeCode #GeminiCLI #GitHubCopilot #GPT5 #Codex #AIcoding #OpenSource #MCPServers #SDD #TDD #AIProductivity #DeveloperTools #CodingWorkflow #KiroDevAlternative
