What problem does it solve?
Provides a fast, lightweight alternative to the full 8-phase dev workflow for small, well-scoped engineering tasks so teams can produce actionable specs without the overhead of the complete process.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Quick-spec generation: Produces a compact specs/quick-spec.md using a template that includes a mini vision, MoSCoW requirements, user stories with acceptance criteria, tech notes, and an implementation plan.
- Scope validation and escalation: Automatically checks for scale limits (stories, epics, DB changes, story points) and suggests escalation to the full workflow when needed.
- Automation & tracking: Supports an --auto mode to skip interactive prompts and updates specs/_status.md and specs/_changelog.md to record decisions and workflow state.
- Use Cases: Fast bug fixes, small features (1–15 stories), or any task with a clearly limited scope that needs a concise developer-ready spec.
Quick Start
