What you'll learn

AI coding agents are only as good as the instructions given to them. In this course, Spec-Driven Development with AI in Practice, you’ll gain the ability to guide the AI agents with specifications that are precise enough to produce code and functionality to match what you meant. First, you’ll explore how to write effective specification. Next, you’ll discover how to implement those plans with AI agents, verify the generated code against the spec and detect and correct drift. Finally, you’ll learn how to apply SDD to existing code bases and keep specs alive as reusable artifacts of the team. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of spec-driven development needed to create and deploy AI-generated code that aligns with intent.
