How Spec Design Shapes AI Performance Across 65 Open Source Projects

Spec structure matters more than most teams assume. Akka ran 65 open-source projects through a controlled experiment on AI-assisted software porting, measuring how specification design, context, model choice, validation, and guardrails, shifted outcomes in time, tokens, code size, test parity, and performance. The variation across models and project types was substantial. It's a practical reminder that how we frame a task directly shapes what AI delivers.
