SPECTRE

I've been using AI coding for 12 months and I've spent many, many days of that 12 months fighting AI when performing high-level development. It takes an awful lot of patience, dedication, and commitment.I started to use Claude code in my terminal recently (to avoid tools like Replit and Lovable and the rest) and came across Spectre from a product hunt email (I think it was). I thought I'd give it a try. I performed my first action with it yesterday and scoped out an incredibly high-level task for me and for the platform. I went through all of the steps and it was built and implemented today with minimal revisions. I would confidently say it would have taken me three or four days (if not more) to do what happened with Spectre in a few hours. It's that much of an increase in productivity and output and the lack of stress is amazing.

Congratulations on the launch! You should offer this as a technology for Cursor to acquire. I think they would be interested.

hey @joenandez congrats on launch , is it a fork of claude code, that you have enhanced?

The slash command naming is clever - makes it feel like invoking a protocol, not just prompting an AI. In my experience the /Scope phase is always the first thing that gets skipped when you're trying to ship fast, and then you end up paying for it later. Curious how /Rebase handles things when the context window fills up - that's usually where I see things go sideways.

Agentic coding has completely changed how I ship. Built a 118k-line SwiftUI Mac app solo using Claude Code — the key insight was that it's not just autocomplete, it's having something that actually understands the full codebase. What's your approach to context management across longer sessions? That's where I've found the biggest gains.

I like the objective Joe, best of luck with the launch!

Hey everyone! I’ve been iterating on the SPECTRE workflow almost daily for the last year with the goal of getting repeatable and consistent high quality results from Claude Code.

SPECTRE has made it possible to do more, faster, and with higher quality and I really don’t see an end to this workflow continuing to improve and find/eliminate each bottleneck in agentic coding process.

🎯 Core SPECTRE Principles

* Great Inputs → Great Outputs
* Ambiguity is Death
* One Workflow, Every Feature, Any Size, Any Codebase
* Obvious > Clever

We use SPECTRE at our startup Codename to build Subspace (open beta) and New June (closed alpha). Neither of those products would exist without it.

I hope this works as well for you all as it does for us.
