Positives

Using openspec has significantly boosted my productivity, allowing me to generate nearly all my code with high efficiency and deploy multiple times a day.
The comparison between frameworks like superpowers and this new system could provide valuable insights into optimizing AI-driven development workflows.

Concerns

The frameworks can consume up to 10 times more tokens, leading to concerns about cost-effectiveness and diminishing returns on outcomes.
One user found the output to be excessively verbose, generating too many files and complicating updates as user requirements evolved.
