SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Quickly produces a complete feature specification workflow from a short project description, removing manual orchestration of spec initialization, requirements, design, and task creation so teams can move from idea to implementation faster.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic and Interactive Modes: Run a fully automated end-to-end spec generation or step through phases with user approval.
  • Four-Phase Workflow: Initializes a spec directory, generates requirements, produces design artifacts, and creates implementation tasks, then runs a final sanity review.
  • Discovery & Templates Integration: Reads .kiro/specs/{feature}/brief.md when present and populates files from repository templates, ensuring consistent outputs.
  • Tooling Integration: Invokes other kiro skills for requirements, design, and tasks generation and supports host subagents for reviews.
  • Use Case: Rapidly create specs for small-to-medium product features such as a user profile upload, payment flow, or notification feature.

Quick Start

Run the kiro-spec-quick skill with a short feature description and optional --auto flag to generate a spec automatically, for example: kiro-spec-quick User profile with avatar upload --auto

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate project specifications from a short feature description?

To generate project specifications, provide a brief feature description to automatically initialize spec directories, produce requirements, create design artifacts, and generate implementation tasks through a structured four-phase workflow.

Can I automate requirement generation and design artifact creation for spec-driven development?

Yes, requirement generation and design artifact creation can be fully automated using an --auto flag, or you can step through each phase interactatively with user approval checkpoints before proceeding.

What is the best way to initialize specs for small-to-medium product features like a payment flow?

The best way to initialize specs for small-to-medium features is running an automated phase orchestration that reads brief.md files, applies repository templates, and concludes with an automated sanity review.

Does spec generation integrate with existing .kiro/specs brief.md files and repository templates?

Yes, spec generation integrates with .kiro/specs by reading existing brief.md files for feature discovery and populates output files from repository templates to ensure consistent specification formats.

How does the four-phase spec generation workflow process feature requirements?

The four-phase workflow processes feature requirements by initializing a spec directory, generating requirements, producing design artifacts, creating implementation tasks, and finally running an automated sanity review.

What are the limitations of automated spec generation for complex features?

Automated spec generation is optimized for small-to-medium product features; complex, large-scale systems may require manual orchestration beyond the automated phase generation and template-based file creation capabilities.
