Collaboration with AI Teammate

[rrennie6]

I notice that the spec kit constitution command starts with You MUST consider the user input before proceeding. This is an interesting philosophy on collaboration with AI. It assumes that the AI is not going to consider user input, starting out with a contentious relationship.

I have seen another framework written for a local group that starts with a wording that essentially says You and the software developer will work together to achieve a goal. Let's start with a short set of requirements.

I really wish that spec kit had the same sentiments: 1) work together and 2) be concise.
Is there a reason why the command is worded this way?

Depending on the model if you are to vague it will not do what you need it to do. Using MUST is not vague.

That is a good point. I wonder if we could combine the thoughts. What if it said something like You MUST work with the software developer together to achieve the goal ?

That is certainly possible and if you want to explore how that changes things feel free to experiment with your own preset override the commands
