That is the idea behind this repo: Ultimate Project combines two separate disciplines: Beastmode -> the software engineering discipline spec-kit -> the structure and organization of specs Beastmode gives the engineering workflow. spec-kit gives the project a clear spec foundation. Putting them together creates a development loop where the system starts from specs, keeps context in memory, and follows a more structured implementation lifecycle.

For bigger projects, I think structured sp
