# Development Notes
Spec Kit is a toolkit for spec-driven development. At its core, it is a coordinated set of prompts, templates, scripts, and CLI/integration assets that define and deliver a spec-driven workflow for AI coding agents. This document is a starting point for people modifying Spec Kit itself, with a compact orientation to the key project documents and repository organization.
**Essential project documents:**
| Document | Role |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [README.md](README.md) | Primary user-facing overview of Spec Kit and its workflow. |
| [DEVELOPMENT.md](DEVELOPMENT.md) | This document. |
| [spec-driven.md](spec-driven.md) | End-to-end explanation of the Spec-Driven Development workflow supported by Spec Kit. |
| [RELEASE-PROCESS.md](.github/workflows/RELEASE-PROCESS.md) | Release workflow, versioning rules, and changelog generation process. |
| [docs/index.md](docs/index.md) | Entry point to the `docs/` documentation set. |
| [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) | Contribution process, review expectations, and required development practices. |
| [TESTING.md](TESTING.md) | Validation strategy and testing procedures. |
**Main repository components:**
| Directory | Role |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `templates/` | Prompt assets and templates that define the core workflow behavior and generated artifacts. |
| `scripts/` | Supporting scripts used by the workflow, setup, and repository tooling. |
| `src/specify_cli/` | Python source for the `specify` CLI, including agent-specific assets. |
| `extensions/` | Extension-related docs, catalogs, and supporting assets. |
| `presets/` | Preset-related docs, catalogs, and supporting assets. |
