    This looks like exactly what I've been thinking I needed. I've tried Superpowers, GSD and oh-my-claude/openagent and mostly they burn more tokens.

    Lately I've been using stock OMP and its close to the right balance but not quite enough of the brainstorming and spec maintenance built in. I've tried to layer some simple stuff on myself but with mixed results.

      Checkout SpecKit and SpecDD too. There is a significant variety of spec-driven development approaches.

        Looks very heavy weight, in the same vein as Superpowers - am I wrong?

          SpecKit and Superpowers do have significant overlap, in that they can orchestrate work, diverge into parallel streams and reconverge, etc. But, SpecKit is about making spec changes as safe and explicit as possible.

          OpenSpec is a very lightweight framework by comparison. SpecDD is lightweight too, imo.
