open-spdd: Design Philosophy
The article discusses the challenges of using AI in coding, particularly the tendency for AI to introduce unintended changes when generating code. It highlights the distinction between AI's capability to generate code and the control needed to ensure it aligns with user intent. The author introduces OpenSPDD, an open-source solution aimed at improving the communication of design intent through structured prompts.
- ▪AI coding tools are becoming increasingly powerful but often diverge from user intent.
- ▪The rework caused by AI-generated code is not due to incorrect coding but rather due to the AI doing too much or going off course.
- ▪OpenSPDD is introduced as a solution to improve the clarity of design intent in AI coding.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
AI Isn't Lacking Intelligence — It Has Too Many "Ideas" You ask it to add a small feature, and it casually "optimizes" your core logic on the side; the code runs, but the design direction is completely off. In complex business development, what is the root cause of frequent rework with AI coding? This article unpacks the "control problem" of AI coding and shares an open-source solution based on structured prompts (OpenSPDD). The stronger the model, the more you need to spell out your intent and boundaries. A Counterintuitive Observation AI coding tools are getting increasingly powerful. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, various Coding Agents… model capabilities are advancing rapidly.
