Additional Information

Manfred Riem and Nicole Haugen, engineers at GitHub, join us for Spec Kit Part 2. Since the May Open Source Friday session, Spec Kit has reached 1.0.0 and expanded into idea assessment, post-implementation convergence, programmable workflows, reusable bundles, and a growing ecosystem. They’ll also introduce spec-kit-copilot, with Copilot-native skills, presets, and interactive app canvases for assessment, bug fixing, and guided spec-driven development.
