Stop Writing Specs: Generate and Validate with JSON Schema Before You Build

from Headcount Zero · host Jordan

Turn messy client paragraphs into validated, build-ready specs using LLM JSON schema workflows. Jordan walks through the complete system: generate structured specs with OpenAI/Claude/Gemini Structured Outputs, enforce them with JSON Schema validation before any build begins, and auto-create Notion checklists from validated specs. Covers implementation paths for Make (external validator via HTTP) and n8n (Code node with Ajv or HTTP to microservice), plus the Cloudflare Worker setup that makes cross-platform validation portable. No more rewriting specs halfway through builds—the validator catches contradictions, missing fields, and impossible constraints before you touch a single module.
