TESIGN TAKE

Plenty of tools claim AI-assisted development; requiring a human gate five separate times, with a reviewable paper trail, is what's different here.

A summary, not legal advice.

WHY IT MATTERS

Hand a whole feature to an AI and scope creeps, or nothing gets verified. aSPARK splits the work across a Product Owner, Designer, Engineering Manager, Developer, Reviewer, QA Tester and Release Manager, and won't let a feature move to the next phase without your explicit gate approval.

BUILD FROM THIS

  • No service, no account — it installs into a project as Markdown. Running /spark drives the whole loop and leaves spec.md, plan.md, review.md, qa.md and a release log in .spark/; the QA phase opens a real browser and clicks through the running app.

WHO IT'S FOR

Solo developers and small teams building with Claude Code who want AI work checked at every phase, not just at the end.

START IN 5 MINUTES

# Inside a Claude Code session, run /plugin marketplace add a-lottes/aSPARK then /plugin install aspark@aspark; on a new project, start with /charter.

CAVEATS

  • Requires Claude Code and Git; the browser QA phase (/demo-day) needs a browser integration such as Claude in Chrome or a Playwright MCP server. Newly released, with 24 stars so far.
