What Source Driven Development does

Source Driven Development grounds every framework-specific implementation decision in official documentation, so code is verifiable and follows current best practices. Use it when building with any framework or library where correctness matters, or when you want source-cited code free from outdated patterns.

Source Driven Development is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Source Driven Development comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, antigravity, claude-code, codex and cursor.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Source-Driven Development

Overview

Every framework-specific code decision must be backed by official documentation. Don't implement from memory — verify, cite, and let the user see your sources. Training data goes stale, APIs get deprecated, best practices evolve. This skill ensures the user gets code they can trust because every pattern traces back to an authoritative source they can check.

When to Use
