+## Spec-driven development (ASDD)
+
+Gemba practices Agentic Spec-Driven Development: `spec.md` is the
+human-authored statement of intent, beads are the operational unit of
+filed work, and a reconciler bridges the two with a nonce-gated
+diff/apply loop. The spec stays authored; the work stays inspectable;
+neither side rewrites the other behind your back.
+
+- Whitepaper: [`docs/design/asdd-whitepaper.md`](docs/design/asdd-whitepaper.md)
+- `gemba spec new` — scaffold a new spec from a template
+- `gemba spec lint` — validate spec structure and AC coverage
+- `gemba spec diff` — preview the bead deltas a spec change would produce
+- `gemba spec snapshot` — capture the reconciler's nonce for safe apply
+- `gemba spec analyze` — inspect spec/bead drift and coverage
+
+Gemba also intercepts GitHub Spec Kit flows: a project constitution
+declares ASDD mode, a Claude Code PreToolUse hook blocks legacy
+`tasks.md` writes, and a preflight gate routes Spec Kit intent into the
+bead-backed work plane.
