IDD - Intent Driven Development
Complete toolkit for Intent-driven development
Philosophy
Traditional: Code → Test → Documentation
SDD: Spec → Code → Test (Spec as reference)
TDD: Test → Code → Documentation (Test as contract)
IDD: Intent → Test → Code → Sync (Intent as source of truth)
Intent is the new source code. Code review is done by AI, Intent review is done by Humans.
Why not SDD?
| Aspect | SDD | IDD |
|---|---|---|
| Organization | By requirement type (functional, UX, technical) | By module/layer |
| Core artifact | Text descriptions | Structure diagrams |
| Granularity | Split into user stories | Keep complete patterns |
| Task management | Separate task files | None - AI decomposes autonomously |
| LLM friendliness | Needs context assembly | Understands complete pattern at once |
See docs/methodology.md for detailed comparison.
