# What is Talos?
> The framework for the AI era, designed for Spec-Driven Development.
**Talos is a modular TypeScript framework built on [Bun](https://bun.sh).** It's the first framework designed around **Spec-Driven Development**, so AI agents work from your real intent rather than guesswork. Its 60+ independent packages cover everything from a weekend project to a production SaaS, with no rewrite in between.
Stop prompting blind. With Talos, your work lives as structured specs that AI
agents can find, plan, and implement against your real conventions, with every
step transparent and verifiable.
## What you get
}>
Decorator-driven routes, services, and repositories with sensible defaults.
Go from idea to running app in minutes rather than days.
}>
AI agents, RAG, and a Spec-Driven workflow live in the core, so your
framework speaks the language of the tools building it.
}>
The same framework powers small side projects, medium products, and large
multi-service platforms. Start simple, grow without rewrites.
}>
Auth, JWT, roles, permissions, payments, caching, queues, mailer, and the
rest of the components every SaaS needs, ready to use.
}>
60+ independent packages spanning HTTP, data, security, real-time, AI, and
utilities. Use only what you need; each is versioned on its own.
}>
Dependency injection and a clean module system let you add, swap, or
override anything without fighting the framework.
## Spec-Driven Development at the core
Talos turns vague requests into structured **specs**: YAML issues with context, goals, a definition of done, and dependencies, all flowing through a transparent AI workflow.
Audit your modules to surface issues and opportunities, or author a request
from scratch. Either way, the result is captured as specs.
Turn a request into a precise, reviewable spec before any code is written.
Implement the spec against your module's real conventions, verifiable
against its definition of done.
