I use it at a much smaller scale. I think that's also the right place, because its a CLI tool + skills that generate md files. Not something you'd give to a business person. I start from a single ticket (sometimes just a handful of changes, but I want the spec as docs) to changes that you'd normally split over several tickets.

Basically the flow proposal -> design -> specs -> tasks gives you and AI a method to build context on what you want to achieve. In a way you're just creating a plan/big prompt that is structured in such a way that they start stacking on each other.

The power is that you do a lot of upfront thinking. In my team we then share it with a colleague who will review it through a PR. After that implementation is usually hands off. At the end there is a skill to verify the change against specs. I do still review the code myself too.

I guess if you work in a task oriented environment this will not work as well, as you'd lack/don't care about the business context. I'd like to think that most software development does not happen like this, but is done by engineers who actually understand why something is needed and take that into account when designing and building the solution.
