What problem does it solve?
Provide clear, scannable visibility into the current phase, completion status, and next actions for a specification stored in the repository, reducing uncertainty and surfacing blockers and revalidation risks.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Phase & Progress Analysis: Reads spec metadata to identify the current phase and computes completion percentages for requirements, design, and tasks.
- Task & Approval Tracking: Counts completed versus open tasks from markdown task lists and surfaces approval status from spec.json.
- Boundary & Dependency Context: Extracts boundary candidates, upstream/downstream context, and nearby spec touchpoints from brief.md, design.md, and roadmap entries to build a revalidation watchlist.
- Error Handling & Discovery: Reports missing files, lists available specs when none or a wildcard is provided, and suggests next-phase actions.
Quick Start
Run the kiro-spec-status skill for the spec named feature-name to generate a progress and next-actions report for the spec located under .kiro/specs/feature-name.
