What problem does it solve?
Many specs live in repository directories and stakeholders lack a concise, up-to-date view of a spec's phase, completion percentage, boundary context, and outstanding blockers; this Skill automates collecting that information and surfacing clear next actions and revalidation needs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated status aggregation: Reads .kiro/specs/<feature>/spec.json and associated Markdown files to determine current phase, approvals, and metadata.
- Progress & task analysis: Counts requirements and acceptance criteria, parses task checklists (- [x] vs - [ ]) to compute completion percentages and remaining work.
- Boundary and context insights: Extracts Boundary Candidates, Upstream/Downstream notes, design boundary commitments, and roadmap touchpoints to produce a revalidation watchlist.
- Scannable reports: Produces language-specific, emoji-enhanced summaries showing current phase, per-phase completion, task breakdown, blockers, next actions, and likely impacted specs.
- Use case: Product managers or engineering leads preparing a spec review can generate a one-page actionable report to drive planning meetings.
Quick Start
Run kiro-spec-status for feature-name to generate a scannable progress report with next actions and blockers.
