Hey everyone! I’ve been iterating on the SPECTRE workflow almost daily for the last year with the goal of getting repeatable and consistent high quality results from Claude Code. SPECTRE has made it possible to do more, faster, and with higher quality and I really don’t see an end to this workflow continuing to improve and find/eliminate each bottleneck in agentic coding process. 🎯 Core SPECTRE Principles * Great Inputs → Great Outputs * Ambiguity is Death * One Workflow, Every Feature, Any Size, Any Codebase * Obvious > Clever We use SPECTRE at our startup Codename to build Subspace (open beta) and New June (closed alpha). Neither of those products would exist without it. I hope this works as well for you all as it does for us.

I like the objective Joe, best of luck with the launch!

@stellify_software I appreciate it Matt!

Hey Joe, that principle of ambiguity is death says a lot. Was there a specific feature or task where Claude Code went completely off the rails because the input wasn’t clear enough?

@vouchy oh man all the time. I actually experimented with the first version of our app Subspace and built two versions - one with Spectre (an early version) and one without. The without version looked better, but once you got down one layer it was a complete untangle-able mess. The Spectre version is what exists now.

Agentic coding has completely changed how I ship. Built a 118k-line SwiftUI Mac app solo using Claude Code — the key insight was that it's not just autocomplete, it's having something that actually understands the full codebase. What's your approach to context management across longer sessions? That's where I've found the biggest gains.

@matthias_stralman 100%. Our app Subspace has a Rust backend. I’ve never written a single line of Rust before we started building it. LLM’s are a universal translater and the language is system architecture!

SPECTRE uses a manual /handoff that auto inserts a status report into the next session - complete continuity until you run /forget. And the learning Skill documents features that get auto loaded when relevant. It’s really simple but it works really well.

Matthias Strålman

@joenandez The /handoff pattern is smart — that's essentially what I've been doing manually with context files committed to git. Skill documents that auto-load is the missing piece though. Do you expose that as part of SPECTRE or is it internal tooling?

Congrats on the launch, @joenandez !
