SpecBuddy turns vague prompts into structured execution workflows. No more infinite prompt loops, "almost-correct" code, or losing control of what you're building.
You write a prompt.
Agent generates code.
You iterate. You regenerate.
You regenerate again.
→ repeat.
It's a rocket without guidance. Fast launch. No control. Expensive corrections.
Start with a short description. The agent turns it into a structured spec using your request, your codebase, and your constraints. You review, edit what matters, approve. Nothing runs until you sign off.
From the approved spec, the agent produces a step-by-step execution plan — what to build, what to modify, what tools to use, in what order. Every step cites a spec requirement. You skim, nudge, or go deeper.
The agent executes step by step. You catch missing details, accept, reject, or rollback — no "big bang" generation, no silent drift. Your job is intent and control. The typing is the agent's.
You don't want to fully specify every step. A high-level plan is enough most of the time. When a step feels vague or risky — zoom in and make it explicit.
SpecBuddy is in closed beta for IntelliJ IDEA. VS Code and Cursor plugins ship next. Drop your email — we'll send an invite as seats open.
