What problem does it solve?
Deckrd provides a stepwise, document-driven workflow that transforms goals and ideas into a structured lineage of requirements, decisions, specifications, and executable tasks. It helps teams reduce ambiguity, preserve rationale, and streamline handoffs from planning to implementation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured derivation workflow: Goals → Requirements → Specifications → Implementation → Tasks with optional Decision Records.
- Session state & provenance: Tracks active module and progress in
docs/.deckrd, enabling resumable work.
- Template-driven docs: Uses prompts and templates to generate normative requirements, design specs, and task lists.
- Use Case: A team captures stakeholder goals, derives precise requirements, writes formal specs, plans implementation, and auto-generates task lists for development.
Quick Start
Start by initializing a module with /deckrd init <namespace>/<module>, then run /deckrd req to derive requirements, followed by /deckrd spec, /deckrd impl, and /deckrd tasks to progress through the workflow.
