npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill spec-driven-development --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
- Search for files and code related to the task description - Identify existing patterns that the spec should follow - Map the impact area of proposed changes - Generate SEARCH-CONTEXT.md with findings ### 2. Clarifying Question Resolution - Identify ambiguities in the task description - Generate targeted clarifying questions - Resolve assumptions with explicit choices - Document decisions for traceability ### 3. Spec Generation - Structure specs with: title, goals, tasks, acceptance criteria - Decompose into atomic, testable tasks - Define dependency graphs between tasks - Include rollback plans and risk assessments - Generate SPEC.md document ### 4. Iterative Refinement - Accept plan-reviewer feedback - Apply revision requests by severity - Refine task decomposition - Update acceptance criteria ## Spec Structure ```markdown # Specification: [Title] ## Goals - [ ] Goal 1 with measurable outcome ## Tasks ### Task 1: [Description] - **Acceptance Criteria**: ... - **Test Strategy**: RED->GREEN->REFACTOR - **Complexity**: low/medium/high - **Dependencies**: [task-ids] ## Assumptions - Assumption 1 (validated: yes/no) ## Risks - Risk 1: Mitigation strategy ```

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill spec-driven-development --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
