Course Materials

[Isaac.Zevi]

Hey everyone,

Really enjoying this course - the SDD workflow clicks well and the AgentClinic example is a great teaching vehicle.

One thing I found missing: while the videos clearly explain the names and purpose of the spec files (mission.md, tech-stack.md, etc.), the actual structure inside each file - the headers, sections, level of detail - is never explicitly shown or described. That gap made it hard to replicate the workflow on my own project.

I eventually found the official course repo ( GitHub - https-deeplearning-ai/sc-spec-driven-development-files: All materials needed to follow along with the Spec-Driven Development with Coding Agents course, built in partnership with JetBrains · GitHub ) through a Google search, which has the complete file examples per lesson. That filled in the picture nicely.

My question: is this repo supposed to be linked somewhere in the course materials? I couldn’t find it on the course page or in the lesson reading items. Would be great to have it more visible - it’s genuinely the missing piece for anyone trying to apply this in practice.

Thanks,
Isaac

Thank you @Isaac.Zevi , you may find it in the course in the “Set up your environment” item.

The only place I didn’t search how embarrassing.

Thank you so much!

No at all! Glad you are enjoying the course!

Hi! I have one additional question about course materials. I’ve seen many files that mention “Important: You must use your AskUserQuestion tool…”. What does that mean? Is it referring to an additional file/artifact inside the repo?

AskUserQuestion

The AskUserQuestion is a tool from Claude Code that allows the agent to pause and interactively solicit input from the user. Claude Code automatically calls this tool when it needs direction, or you can prompt it, for example: “I want to build a feature, but ask me questions using AskUserQuestion first to refine requirements”.
