arXiv cs.AIAugust 24, 2026en

arXiv:2608.20341v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Frontier coding agents backed by large language models with context windows from hundreds of thousands to millions of tokens are restructuring the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Rich context handling and multi-step reasoning now allow substantial Functional Requirement Documents (FRDs) and repository context to be ingested in a single workflow, making specification quality the execution fuel for autonomous delivery. This report formalises Spec-Driven Agentic Development (SDAD) as a synthesis of disciplined up-front formalisation and high-velocity implementation: intent capture, machine-readable specification, agentic synthesis, and ind
