SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides users from a single-line idea to three umbrella documents (REQUIREMENTS.md, DESIGN.md, TASKS.md) that Codex / goal can load to execute using a strict TDD red-green-refactor workflow, ensuring a production-ready spec-first process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates three umbrella docs (REQUIREMENTS.md, DESIGN.md, TASKS.md) with cross-links to PRD, NON_GOALS, ACCEPTANCE, IMPACT, PLAN, and VERIFY.
  • Enforces a stepwise TDD workflow for tasks, guiding questions, and validation checkpoints.
  • Outputs ready-to-use CODEX_START.md and CLAUDE_CODE_START.md prompts for downstream agents to run.

Quick Start

Provide a one-sentence requirement to the spec-wizard and it will generate the three umbrella documents (REQUIREMENTS.md, DESIGN.md, TASKS.md) ready for Codex execution.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a one-line idea into codex-ready plan documents?

To turn a one-line idea into codex-ready plans, provide the requirement to the spec-wizard, which generates three umbrella documents: REQUIREMENTS.md, DESIGN.md, and TASKS.md for downstream execution.

How does TDD red-green-refactor workflow integrate with generated plan documents?

The TDD red-green-refactor workflow is enforced through the generated TASKS.md, which structures stepwise tasks with guiding questions and validation checkpoints to ensure a strict test-driven development process.

Can I use these generated umbrella documents with both Codex and Claude Code?

Yes, the generated umbrella documents work with both Codex and Claude Code. The skill outputs ready-to-use CODEX_START.md and CLAUDE_CODE_START.md prompts for downstream agents to load and execute.

What's the best way to ensure traceability between PRD, design, and task plans?

To ensure traceability between PRD, design, and tasks, the umbrella documents are self-contained with cross-references to PRD, NON_GOALS, ACCEPTANCE, and IMPACT, linking downstream contracts for validation.

Do I need existing requirements to generate specification documents for TDD execution?

No existing requirements are needed. You can start with a single-sentence requirement, and the spec-wizard will generate the complete set of self-contained umbrella documents ready for Codex execution.

When should I not use a spec-first generation approach for task planning?

A spec-first generation approach is not ideal for exploratory prototyping or rapidly changing requirements, because the generated umbrella documents enforce a strict TDD workflow with fixed cross-references and validation checkpoints.
