What is Spec-driven development in this context?

It means all work must be defined in requirement specs and phase plans before implementation begins, preventing ad-hoc or improvised code changes.

How does Bee Core handle different AI models?

It uses smart model delegation, assigning structured tasks like scanning to Claude Sonnet and complex reasoning or production coding to the parent reasoning model.

What happens if I write code before a test in Bee Core?

The core rules are strict: if you write production code before a failing test, it must be deleted. You must follow the Red-Green-Refactor cycle without exception.

How does Bee Core track project progress?

It follows the 'Disk is truth' principle, using STATE.md to track phase progress and TASKS.md as the execution contract for tasks and research notes.

Does Bee Core allow automatic git commits?

No. Auto-commits are forbidden to ensure the user stays in control. Commits are only suggested and must be confirmed via the /bee:commit command.

Productivity & Workflow

Enforces a strict Test-Driven Development (TDD) and spec-driven workflow for systematic software engineering with Claude.

The Bee Core skill establishes the foundational rules for the Bee-Dev ecosystem, mandating a rigorous Red-Green-Refactor cycle where production code is never written without a failing test. It ensures project state is always persisted to disk via standardized markdown files, prevents unauthorized commits, and implements a structured phase lifecycle—from specification to final review—to maintain high code quality and architectural integrity through smart model delegation and live documentation integration.
