Using AI to code is easy. Using it without losing control — not so much.By week three, your project stops moving. The agent forgets decisions it made ten days ago.

Not a ceremonial document. A working artifact: PRD, issues, tests, code — all traceable, all connected, all in the right order.This book shows you:How to grill your own idea before writing a single promptHow to write a PRD the AI won't misinterpretThe 7 phases that turn an idea into working softwareHow to use GitHub SpecKit and openSpec (and when not to)How to work this way in a team without slowing downThe 5 anti-patterns that destroy every spec22,000 words. 13 chapters. 5 appendices with ready-to-copy templates.No theory dumps.
