No vibe coding.
Spec-Driven Development.
When Arterion builds software, it does so with Spectra — our proprietary development operating system. It’s not just methodology. It’s not just tooling. It’s both, fully integrated: Spec-Driven Development as process, plus the command suite, tracking, and environment configuration.
From client session to production commit.
The reason we move fast — without sacrificing control or quality.
Specification first
AI executes clear, well-defined tasks. Zero ambiguity before a single line of code is written — requirements are the input, not the starting point.
Human control at every step
The architect validates the proposal. The engineer owns the code. AI proposes — the human always decides. No autonomy without oversight.
Every step feeds the next
BRD → Spec → Plan → Tasks → Code. Full traceability from the client session all the way to the production commit.
Speed without rework
80% of rework stems from incomplete specs. When the specification is solid, development becomes predictable — and fast.
Atomic commits per task
Each task has scope, dependencies, and acceptance criteria. One commit per completed task — reviewable, reversible, and fully traceable.
The Constitution governs everything
Code standards, testing, security, and conventions are documented. AI works within the boundaries — it doesn’t redefine them.
