DNS Workflow Automation Using Spec-Driven Development | Itential Builder Skills
Spec-driven network automation just got a lot more real. In this demo, you'll see how Itential Builder Skills – installed directly into Claude Code – can take a natural language spec file and build a complete, production-ready automation workflow in the Itential platform. No manual task-wiring. No stitching together adapters by hand. Just define what the automation needs to do, and let the agent handle the rest.
This walkthrough covers a simple but production-representative use case: DNS A record provisioning in Infoblox, triggered via an Operations Manager form. From bootstrapping the environment to a deployed workflow with 10 tasks, error handling, and an email notification – all built from a spec file in a single agent run.

What is spec-driven development for network automation?
Instead of building workflow logic manually, you define what the automation needs to accomplish in a structured spec, written in natural language or markdown. Itential Builder Skills reads that spec, reasons over your platform environment, and builds the assets directly: workflows, forms, IAG services, Ansible playbooks, and more. It's AI reasoning connected to deterministic execution.
