Spec Kit vs BMAD-METHOD
Neither is pulling away. Both score maintained, 100 against 100, so the choice comes down to how you want to work rather than to which one is still being written.

Both tools solve the same problem — turning a written spec into tasks an agent can execute — so the interesting question is not which one is better designed but which one is still being written. That is the axis no comparison article covers, because it changes every week and an article does not.
The numbers above are recomputed nightly and dated. If one of these projects resumes or stops, this page says so the next morning without anybody editing it.
