I designed the original architecture back in April 2025 and released the first version in May 2025, even before Amazon's Kiro came out.</p> <p><strong>The Problem with Current Spec-driven Development:</strong></p> <p>Spec-driven development is essential for AI-assisted coding. Without specs, we're just "vibe coding", hoping the LLM generates something useful. There have been many implementations of this approach, but here's what everyone misses: <strong>Context Management.</strong> Even with perfect specs, a single LLM instance hits context window limits on complex projects. You get hallucinations, forgotten requirements, and degraded output quality.</p> <p><strong>Enter Agentic Spec-driven Development:</strong></p> <p>APM distributes spec management across specialized agents:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Setup Agent</strong>: Transforms your requirements into structured specs, constructing a comprehensive Implementation Plan ( before Kiro ;) )</li> <li> <strong>Manager Agent</strong>: Maintains project oversight and coordinates task assignments</li> <li> <strong>Implementation Agents</strong>: Execute focused tasks, granular within their domain</li> <li> <strong>Ad-Hoc Agents</strong>: Handle isolated, context-heavy work (debugging, research)</li> </ul> <p>The diagram shows how these agents coordinate through explicit context and memory management, preventing the typical context degradation of single-agent approaches.</p> <p><strong>Each Agent in this diagram, is a dedicated chat session in your AI IDE.</strong></p> <p><strong>Latest Updates:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Documentation got a recent refinement and a set of 2 visual guides (Quick Start &amp; User Guide PDFs) was added to complement them main docs.</li> </ul> <p>The project is Open Source (MPL-2.0), works with any LLM that has tool access.</p> <p>GitHub Repo: <a href="https://github.com/sdi2200262/agentic-project-management" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/sdi2200262/agentic-project-management</a></p> architecture opensource tooling ai
