Open Agent Spec. Treat AI agents like typed functions not prompt chains

Schema validation catches LLM output mismatches before they break downstream systems.

Strengths
  • Declarative YAML specs keep agent logic separate from implementation code
  • Fast failure on schema mismatches prevents silent downstream breaks
  • Model-agnostic design swaps between OpenAI, Anthropic, and local without code changes
Weaknesses
  • Small community with only 6 GitHub stars limits adoption momentum
  • Python-only CLI restricts teams using other languages for agent development

Retrospec: reverse-engineer a spec prompt for an AI agent from a commit

It doesn't guess diff hunks — it runs iterative Copilot-agent loops and ranks candidate prompts by technical similarity and a separate 'realism' score, with explicit rules (no code blocks, structured markdown sections) to keep outputs human-like. The alpha-weighted scoring, model override, and prebuilt binaries show this is more than an experiment: it's practical for mining realistic specs from history or auditing intent at scale.
