Engineering Software with AI: Spec-Driven Development, Context Engineering, and Human-Guided Workflows for Requirements, Architecture, Planning, Imple

By: Fisher, Lawrence

AI can write the code. But can it build the right software?
The rise of coding agents is changing software engineering. AI systems can now investigate repositories, plan changes, modify multiple files, run tests, diagnose failures, and work toward complex engineering goals. But greater AI capability introduces a new challenge: how do engineers remain in control of what gets built, why it gets built, and whether it is actually correct?
Engineering Software with AI explores a practical answer through the BMad Method-a structured approach to spec-driven, AI-assisted software engineering that connects human intent with AI execution and reliable verification.
Rather than treating AI as simply a faster programmer, this book shows how to build an engineering system around AI agents.
You will learn how to: Turn ambiguous requirements into clear, implementable specificationsEngineer the right context for AI agents without
