Authors structured Natural Language Specifications (NLSpec) by orchestrating multi-AI research to surface architectural blindspots.

The flow-spec skill transforms Claude Code into a sophisticated requirements engineering engine. It uses a rigorous 8-step execution contract to move from initial user clarifying questions to a fully validated Natural Language Specification (NLSpec). By orchestrating research across multiple AI providers like Codex and Gemini, it surfaces hidden edge cases, conflicting constraints, and missing actor behaviors that a single model might overlook. The process includes an automated adversarial challenge phase where a secondary AI model critiques the draft to ensure the final specification is production-ready and comprehensive.
