What Makes Autospec Different?
Originally inspired by GitHub SpecKit, Autospec is now a fully standalone tool with its own embedded commands and workflows.
| Feature | GitHub SpecKit | Autospec |
|---|---|---|
| Output Format | Markdown | YAML (machine-readable) |
| Validation | Manual review | Automatic with retry logic |
| Context Efficiency | Full prompt each time | Smart YAML injection + phase-isolated sessions |
| Status Updates | Manual | Auto-updates spec.yaml & tasks.yaml |
| Phase Orchestration | Manual | Automated with dependencies |
| Session Isolation | Single session | Per-phase/task (80%+ cost savings) |
| Implementation | Shell scripts | Go (type-safe, single binary) |
