dev-start

To generate specification documents from an Excel design workbook, this Skill parses the Excel file using dotnet-script and outputs business and system spec files under docs/specs. It confirms the feature name and item number before creating the files for your repository.

To create a feature branch and start a kickoff, this Skill uses Git and GitHub CLI access to automate branch creation. It integrates the branch creation directly with the specification workflow to ensure traceable feature development from the start.

The best way to prepare traceable specs and task files is to generate business and system documents from an Excel design sheet, commit the results, and push them for task construction handoff. This ensures consistent repository structure and ready-to-implement tasks.

Yes, you need dotnet-script for Excel parsing and GitHub CLI for branch creation and pushing commits. These tools are required to execute the automated feature kickoff workflow and generate the specification documents.

No, this workflow specifically applies to repository-based projects that begin from an Excel design workbook. It requires the Excel file to generate the necessary business and system documents and traceability for the feature.
