When NOT to use ospec
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid using ospec if your project requires integration with non-JavaScript languages or frameworks that are not compatible with its spec-driven development model.
- If real-time feedback loops are critical to the success of your AI coding agent, and you need more instantaneous verification processes than what ospec's structured iterations can provide.
