kiro-spec-init

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes friction when starting a new feature specification by generating a consistent spec folder and the initial metadata files, ensuring descriptions are complete and avoiding name collisions or missing templates.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Prefill from Discovery: Reads an existing brief.md to pre-populate the project description and skip redundant clarification.
• Safe Scaffolding: Generates a unique feature name, creates the spec directory, and writes spec.json and requirements.md from templates while handling naming conflicts.
• Validation & Errors: Checks for required templates, reports missing files, and surfaces write failures or permission issues for troubleshooting.
• Use case: Bootstrapping a new feature spec after a discovery session or converting a brief into a formal spec entry.

Quick Start

Initialize a new feature spec by running the kiro-spec-init skill with a concise project description or point it at an existing brief.md to prefill details.
