Architecture
The platform is organized around a simple question: what changes when the same architectural intent is carried through different systems?
Spec-Driven Development vs Adaptive System Life Cycle Development (ASLCD)
Spec-Driven Development
A development practice where structured specifications define what to build before implementation begins. Focus: clear requirements, reduced ambiguity, implementation-ready intent. Scope: Design to Implementation.
ASLCD
Adaptive System Life Cycle Development (ASLCD) is a full lifecycle framework that extends spec-driven development into an adaptive, multi-user, agent-agnostic system for building, validating, and evolving software over time. DevSpark is an implementation of ASLCD.
Spec-driven development ensures you build the right thing. ASLCD ensures the system continues to behave correctly as it grows and changes.
System Overview
The shared API layer includes WebSpark, PromptSpark, GitHub Repository Spark, and markhazleton.com content. These components provide content, prompt workflow context, repository activity, and platform presentation data to multiple frontend systems.
Controlled Comparison
TailwindSpark and BootstrapSpark are not just styling alternatives. They are controlled comparisons where similar product goals meet different component models, design constraints, and composition strategies against shared APIs.
Key Insight
Frontend architecture is not a styling decision - it is a system design decision. The lifecycle view matters because those decisions keep expressing themselves as the system grows.
