    Idea so stupid it could be smart: a spec manager? specman? People maintain plain language instead of code. Implementation details strictly prohibited, only high level design and ideas MVP would also be relatively easy to implement: - Gather list of most popular 10k npm packages - Scrape corresponding deepwiki repo pages (sorry cognition) - Use heuristics to get rid of implementation details, leaving you just with pure high level spec - “specman add coolpackage” then fetches corresponding spec automatically, and triggers the local coding agent to implement that - could leave versioning out for MVP — how often does the idea behind a package change anyway

    @mitsuhiko @realsigridjin Somebody must have proposed this but… should there be a prompt package manager maybe? You don’t add code but ideas and specs, and code gets generated at add time? Basically a wiki, but with funny sounding page names

    will I ever stop feeling stupid for prompting like "is this the holy grail?" it's very effective for mining for alternatives
