What problem does it solve?
This Skill removes the friction of manually checking multiple spec files to determine current phase, completion progress, and what to do next by aggregating spec metadata, documents, tasks, and roadmap context into a clear status report.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Context Loading: Reads spec.json and optional brief.md, requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md, and steering/roadmap.md from the Kiro specs directory to assemble the spec context.
- Phase & Task Analysis: Counts requirements and acceptance criteria, inspects design boundary commitments, and computes completed versus remaining tasks by parsing markdown task checkboxes.
- Risk & Revalidation Detection: Identifies upstream/downstream dependencies, neighboring spec impacts, and items that may require revalidation or splitting.
- Report Generation & Fallbacks: Produces a language-specific, scannable report with current phase, completion percentages, task breakdown, boundary notes, revalidation watchlist, next actions, and blockers; handles missing specs and incomplete files with explicit guidance.
Quick Start
Run the kiro-spec-status skill with the target spec name to get a concise status report showing phase, progress, blockers, and recommended next actions.
