I had an old recipe project. I stopped updating it. It took too much manual work. I entered the GitHub Finish-Up-A-Thon to fix it. I used Spec-Driven Development (SDD).

SDD uses detailed specs as the source of truth. I used SpecKit and Copilot. This changed my role from builder to supervisor. I spent more time planning. I spent less time coding.

Here is what I built:

• Moved the backend to Supabase.
• Added a PDF parser to import recipes.
• Created a secure admin login.
• Added a price comparison tool using the Kroger API.

The SDD workflow is simple:

• Set project rules in a constitution.
• Create a specification.
• Fix gaps in the spec.
• Build a technical plan.
• Break the plan into tasks.
• Write the code.

Planning first made the work faster. I finished in days what usually takes weeks. Use SDD to make your projects manageable.
