💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the initiation of new development tasks by guiding users through a structured, spec-driven process, ensuring clarity on problems, solutions, and implementation plans from the outset.

Core Features & Use Cases

Structured Spec Creation: Guides users to define problem, solution, requirements, acceptance criteria, and implementation steps.
Codebase Exploration: Automatically identifies and documents relevant code files and snippets.
Use Case: When starting a new feature like "implementing user authentication," this Skill will prompt for details, suggest a project structure, and help map out the necessary code modifications.

FAQPage Schema

What is spec-driven development and how does it help start a new coding task?▼

Spec-driven development initiates coding tasks by structuring problem definitions, solution scopes, and implementation steps before writing code. It ensures clarity on requirements and acceptance criteria, reducing rework by defining project scope upfront.

How do I create a structured specification for a new software feature?▼

To create a structured specification, use a guided process to define the problem, solution, requirements, acceptance criteria, and implementation steps. This approach documents the project scope and maps out necessary code modifications before development begins.

How can I automatically find relevant code files when planning a new feature?▼

Automatically find relevant code files by using codebase exploration during the intent initiation phase. This process identifies and documents existing code snippets and files related to your new feature, mapping out necessary modifications for the implementation plan.

Do I need git to use a spec-driven development workflow for task management?▼

Yes, you need git to use this spec-driven development workflow, as it requires git repository context to function. The process relies on git to understand the existing codebase and creates structured spec and notes files in your local environment.

Where are the generated spec and notes files stored when initiating a new development intent?▼

Generated spec and notes files are stored locally in the ~/.claude-intents/ directory. This structured output ensures your task management documentation, including requirements and implementation details, is organized and accessible for future reference.
