Specline
Honest pitch
Every promise Specline makes, with the condition under which it breaks. A claim without a failure mode is marketing — so here are the failure modes.
| Claim | Mechanism | Fails when |
|---|---|---|
| Consistent structure, every feature | One fixed folder shape, checked by Specline | You skip the checker — then it's a convention again |
| Rework caught at the cheapest moment | Acceptance checks run inside the work, not at a demo | Checks are written unfalsifiably |
| Memory that survives staff & models | Graduation writes knowledge; archive preserves contracts | Graduation is skipped |
| An agent can plan with you, not just code | The methodology is served to the agent as a tool | The repo never carries the brief, so the agent isn't aware |
| Audit trail | Every shipped feature resolves to an archived spec | Archive integrity breaks — a Specline error |

What it does not claim: that structure substitutes for product judgment. The system concentrates judgment at two gates and automates everything between.
