OpenSpec IDE

A desktop app called OpenSpec IDE: a markdown reader built specifically for OpenSpec so specs can be read in order, with the ability to summon Claude (more providers coming soon) to execute the required OpenSpec commands. It is free of subscriptions or accounts.

What it addresses

As development moves away from reading code toward spec-oriented workflows, reading specs in a code editor didn't make sense.

    “I started learning about OpenSpec as a way to be more spec oriented to develop software. Reading specs in a code editor didnt make sense so I wrote my “OpenSpec IDE”. Very simple desktop app, no subs or accounts. Its really a markdown reader but built specifically for OpenSpec so you can read things in order and summon Claude (others coming soon) to execute the required OpenSpec commands”
