1. What is Spec ADE?
Spec ADE is a next-generation desktop workspace designed from the ground up for AI coding agents. Instead of inserting AI into a traditional text editor, it wraps multiple terminals, browsers, databases, and Git into a single binary that agents can control natively.
2. What is it for?
It automates entire developer workflows—like implementing features, refactoring databases, fixing bugs, and running test suites. Rather than manually writing every line of code, you direct autonomous agent pools (like Claude Code, Auggie, or Codex) to execute complex engineering goals.
3. How does it work?
First, describe what you want (Goal). Next, Spec ADE generates a structured task list (Spec). The agents execute local file edits, terminal runs, and SQL queries in parallel. Finally, you review the progress and approve changes at key checkpoints.
