Design specs on the Spec desk, then send them to build
Trove spec work
Trove turns described work into running work. You author specifications in an OPAL conversation — they live in a database, not in files you have to keep tidy — and lanes pick up the resulting work units and run them autonomously, each in its own worktree.
These guides cover both halves: describing the work, watching it run, and choosing which model each role uses.
Guides
- Create a spec — author and refine by conversation; the
spec.*tasks do the writing, and every unit carries a Definition of Done. - Work on several things at once — break work into units, let the lanes run them in parallel, and read progress off the board.
- Run a plan — hand work units to lanes, watch progress, regroup what did not land.
- Work a side quest — work that belongs to no spec, filed and run without inventing a home for it.
- Choose models per role — set the audit / writing / implementation models globally and override them per project.
