The trend of 'vibe coding'—letting AI generate code with minimal guidance—is giving way to more structured approaches. This post explores tools like grill-me, Trellis, and Superpowers that enable 'spec coding,' where developers provide detailed specifications. The author shares practical insights from using Trellis to maintain consistency in AI-generated code. This signal is part of a broader movement toward specification-driven development, as seen in the previous post on SDD. For overseas developers, this comparison helps in choosing the right tool for their workflow. The post is timely as AI coding tools evolve rapidly, and teams need to balance speed with reliability. The author's experience with Trellis offers a concrete example of how spec coding can reduce errors and improve output quality.
