MarkTechPost published a comparison of 9 spec-driven development tools (May 8) revealing explosive growth: GSD (Get Shit Done) went from 0 to 61K stars since December 2025, GitHub Spec Kit reached 93K stars and supports 30+ AI coding agents with v0.8.7 (May 7), and BMAD-METHOD hit 46.7K stars with version 6.6.0. The thesis: specs-before-code is now the dominant pattern for serious AI-assisted development, replacing freeform prompting.
