# Specflow: New Project
Turn a product idea into a complete, buildable spec tree that Claude Code can implement autonomously. The output is a directory of markdown files — specs (business + developer), folder overviews, skills, agents, rules, and a build order — that serve as the single source of truth for the project.
## Why this matters
Without specs, Claude Code tends to make ad-hoc architectural decisions, skip edge cases, and produce inconsistent code. Specflow front-loads the thinking: every behavior is defined once in a spec, every spec has acceptance criteria, and Claude implements them one vertical slice at a time. The spec tree is the product — code is just an artifact of it.
## The two-layer spec model
Every Specflow project produces two parallel spec trees:
- **`.specflow/specs-business/`** — high-level specs for non-technical stakeholders (clients, PMs, executives). Each business spec describes an outcome, a user journey, business rules, and success metrics. **No schemas, no APIs, no test-shaped acceptance criteria.** This is the contract with the client: what the product does and why.
- **`.specflow/specs/`** — developer-facing specs (the existing layer). Schemas, APIs, dependency chains, Given/When/Then acceptance criteria. This is the contract with the implementer: how the product is built.
The two layers are **bidirectionally linked**:
- Every developer leaf spec has frontmatter `implements:` pointing to exactly **one** business spec — the outcome it p
