Question 1

What is SpecLeft and what problem does it solve?

Accepted Answer

SpecLeft is a developer tool that aligns feature intent with test coverage. It transforms your project plans into version-controlled Markdown specifications and generates pytest test skeletons, ensuring traceability and a structured TDD workflow for Python applications.

Question 2

What programming languages and testing frameworks does SpecLeft support?

Accepted Answer

SpecLeft currently works with Python and pytest. It generates test skeletons compatible with pytest but does not replace your existing test runner or reinterpret existing tests.

Question 3

How does SpecLeft handle AI agent integration and data privacy?

Accepted Answer

SpecLeft is designed for safe integration with AI agents and CI workflows, providing JSON output and requiring confirmation for writes. Crucially, it operates 100% locally with no telemetry or phone-home mechanisms, ensuring complete data privacy and security.

Question 4

What are the main advantages of SpecLeft over traditional BDD frameworks?

Accepted Answer

Unlike traditional BDD frameworks, SpecLeft treats specs as intent rather than executable text, keeping test execution within plain pytest. This avoids the overhead of separate test runners or complex DSLs, focusing purely on planning, traceability, and skeleton generation.

Question 5

Can SpecLeft help with both greenfield and brownfield projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, SpecLeft is versatile for both greenfield (new) and brownfield (existing) projects. It helps establish clear feature intent and test coverage from the start, or adds structure and traceability to projects that may lack it.
