dev-spec-reviewer

A spec review checks your specification document for completeness, clarity, and consistency before development starts. It prevents wasted effort by catching ambiguities, missing information, and scope creep early in the software development lifecycle.

You can check if your SPEC.md is ready by running an automated spec review that verifies all required sections like edge cases, testing strategies, and success criteria are adequately defined. This enforces a strict phase gate before proceeding to exploration.

To pass a phase gate review, a specification document must include adequately defined sections for error handling, edge cases, testing strategies, and success criteria. This requirement validation ensures the spec is complete and unambiguous.

Requirement validation fails when the specification document contains ambiguities, missing information, or scope creep. Catching these issues early through an automated spec review prevents costly rework later in the development cycle.

Yes, you can use automated spec review to catch scope creep before coding begins. The reviewer rigorously checks the specification document for consistency and completeness, preventing the exploration of incomplete or ambiguous requirements.

Yes, the spec review process works with existing markdown specification files by targeting the SPEC.md document located in your project. It validates the completeness and quality of the specification directly within your development workflow.
