Tessl Spec-Driven Framework

Author: Tessl · Publication: tessl.io

Summary: Tessl's commercial spec-driven framework with a specification registry for team-wide spec management and reuse across projects.

Editorial Notes

Tessl takes the most opinionated approach to SDD: code generated from specifications is marked with “GENERATED FROM SPEC - DO NOT EDIT” comments, enforcing a strict spec-as-source model where the specification is always authoritative. The Spec Registry adds a team collaboration layer, allowing specifications to be shared, versioned, and reused across projects. Compare with GitHub Spec Kit’s lighter-touch approach to understand the spectrum of SDD tooling philosophies.
