OpenSpec
OSS framework that organizes AI-assisted coding into version-controlled artifacts — proposals, specifications, designs, and task checklists — written before implementation begins. Integrates with 25+ AI coding assistants so humans and agents work from the same source of truth.
Claude Code
Terminal-first agentic coding assistant from Anthropic. Full MCP client support, codebase-aware, runs multi-step tasks autonomously.
