This is my first time seeing openspec, and it seems to share a similar philosophy to what I've been working on this year.
If you like this / SDD, I'd appreciate your feedback:

Similar iterative specs philosophy. Ours is a bit different because we focus on declarative specs and installable agent skills. We chose Go for simplicity and minimal requirements (single binary).

  Please don't take this as offense, I'm honestly curious as I'm pretty bad at these things.
  You say this is your first time seeing openspec, but you've been working on a pretty similar project for a year now. Openspec and Speckit both seem to have similar (almost same?) goal as yours. Do you just jump into such a project as yours without worrying about others already existing?
  I tend to overthink such stuff...

    the workflows are still so scpecific to the individual that they all feel like a short blanket at some point, i have my own "framework" that i'm perfecting for my use case

    I have the same feeling when I come across a new one. It's easy to throw something together that's good enough. That's why I open sourced spekk. I don't think there's a product here, just a way of thinking and doing I want to share.
    FWIW, there are about ten people using Spekk at my agency daily. The standardization across people and projects is helpful to us. It's built for teams like us, not just me. There are definitely some features that took us a few weeks to months to get right, even AI assisted, and I think that has value whether you use our tool or ask your AI to copy parts of it.
    We're a small team though, so your point still stands.
