## Description

This project is a spec-driven development framework and workflow automation system for Claude Code. It provides a structured pipeline that converts product requirements and technical designs into atomic implementation tasks for AI coding agents.

The system features a context management system that organizes steering documents and technical specifications to optimize token usage and maintain LLM coherence. It also includes a bug resolution pipeline that manages software defects through a systematic five-stage process of reporting, analysis, fixing, and verification.

Progress is tracked via a real-time development dashboard that uses WebSockets and Git integration to monitor task completion. The framework further supports architectural consistency through persistent project steering context and a validation process to ensure specifications comply with standardized templates.

The project is implemented in TypeScript.
