SNIPERSpec Driven Development

Write specs, not code. SNIPER orchestrates Claude Code agent teams that turn a project idea into production code through structured phases — with quality gates at every step.

Two Paths, One Framework

Whether you're starting from scratch or working with an existing codebase, SNIPER has a workflow for you.

Greenfield Projects

Full Lifecycle

Start with an idea. SNIPER's discovery team researches the market, assesses risks, and defines user personas. Then the planning team produces a PRD, architecture, UX spec, and security analysis. The solve phase shards everything into epics and stories. Finally, sprint teams implement story by story — with tests, PRs, and code review at every step.

Existing Codebases

Ingest + Iterate

Already have code? SNIPER's ingest team reverse-engineers your architecture, extracts coding conventions, and produces a project brief from your source. From there, use /sniper-feature for scoped additions, /sniper-debug for structured bug investigation, or /sniper-audit for security, performance, and test coverage analysis.

The Spec Driven Workflow

Every artifact is a spec. Every spec drives the next phase. Nothing is implemented without a spec.

1. Discover

3 agents

An analyst, risk researcher, and user researcher work in parallel. They produce a project brief with competitive analysis, a risk assessment with mitigations, and user personas with journey maps.

2. Plan

4 agents · Opus

A product manager writes the PRD. Once complete, an architect, UX designer, and security analyst work in parallel — each reading the PRD and producing their own spec. STRICT gate: you approve before moving on.

3. Solve

1 agent

A scrum master reads the PRD, architecture, and UX spec, then shards everything into epics and self-contained stories. Each story embeds the relevant context from upstream specs so developers never need to cross-reference.

4. Sprint

2-5 agents

Select stories for the sprint. SNIPER spawns the right developers (backend, frontend, infra, AI) plus a QA engineer. Each agent owns specific directories. They coordinate on API contracts and implement story by story with tests.
