5 months ago I made a commitment: build AI developer tools every single day.
Not blog posts about AI. Not Twitter threads. Actual tools that developers download and use.
Here's what 5 months of daily shipping looks like — and what I learned.
The Numbers
- vskill: 6,273 weekly npm downloads
- specweave: 88 GitHub stars (just started promoting)
- 0 days off the keyboard
What I Built
vskill — Verified AI Skills Registry
The skill/plugin layer for AI coding agents (Claude, Cursor, Codex, etc). Think loadable behaviors:
- "Run TDD cycle"
- "Generate E2E tests"
- "Review PR"
6,000+ developers download it every week. Completely free and open source.
specweave — AI-First Spec-Driven Development
The bigger vision: Write spec → AI generates tasks with BDD test plans → AI implements → tests gate every closure.
No vibe coding. No drift. Every AI-generated change is verified by design.
The Lesson
The developers winning with AI aren't prompting harder. They're building systems where AI correctness is guaranteed by design.
Specs + tests > better prompts.
Both tools are completely free and open source. Both are growing.
What are you building with AI? I'm curious what approaches others are taking to make AI coding reliable.
