What you'll learn

Write an executable spec, not a prompt

Turn vague intent into an interface, acceptance tests, and constraints the agent has to satisfy.

Guardrail the agent below its output

Set allowed paths and a test gate so a plausible diff cannot merge until it is actually correct.

Leave with a template for your repo

Take the spec-driven starter and point it at your own codebase in about ten minutes.

Why this topic matters

Coding agents produce a plausible diff for almost anything, and plausible is not mergeable. As agent-authored volume grows, review becomes the bottleneck, and most teams still prompt ad-hoc and hope. This lesson shows the fix: an executable spec plus a guardrail file that constrain the agent to what correct means in your codebase. You leave with a template you point at your own repo the same day.
