kiro-spec-init

To generate requirements from a project description, provide your text to initialize a new spec directory. The skill creates a structured folder containing spec.json and requirements.md using built-in templates.

Create a spec directory by placing a brief.md file at .kiro/specs/{feature-name}/. The skill reads this brief to prefill the project description and checks for naming conflicts before generating the files.

The best way to initialize project specifications is by using template-driven generation. Provide a project description to automatically create a standardized skeleton with spec.json and requirements.md under .kiro/specs.

Spec initialization relies on templates located at .kiro/settings/templates/specs. You can customize these template files to ensure your generated spec.json and requirements.md match your project's specific requirements.

Yes, the spec initialization process includes automatic language detection. It analyzes your provided project description or brief.md content to generate the spec.json and requirements.md files in the matching language.

When a spec name conflict occurs during initialization, the skill performs automatic conflict resolution. It checks the existing .kiro/specs directory structure before proceeding to ensure unique naming for your new spec directory.
