SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Teams often struggle to visualize the current status of KiRo specs, including phase, progress, and blockers. KiRo-spec-status consolidates relevant spec data to provide a clear, actionable view for decision makers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parse spec.json and related files (brief.md if present, requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md) to compute phase progress and identify gaps.
  • Surface boundary context (upstream/downstream relationships) and potential revalidation needs for governance.
  • Generate a concise status report that highlights next actions and blockers for stakeholders.

Quick Start

Use kiro-spec-status to generate a live status report for a given KiRo spec.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track spec progress and identify blockers in KiRo specs?

Track spec progress and blockers by parsing spec.json, brief.md, requirements.md, design.md, and tasks.md to compute phase completion. This produces a boundary-aware status report highlighting current phase, gaps, and next actions for stakeholders.

How does spec status reporting handle upstream and downstream boundary context?

Spec status reporting surfaces upstream and downstream boundary context by analyzing spec relationships to identify revalidation needs. This reveals dependencies and escalation points for governance and decision-making.

Can I generate a decision-ready status summary from KiRo spec.json files?

Yes, generate a decision-ready status summary from spec.json by computing phase progress and identifying gaps across related spec documents. The structured output highlights next actions and escalation needs for stakeholders.

What is the best way to visualize KiRo spec phase completion for stakeholders?

Visualize KiRo spec phase completion by consolidating spec.json and related files into a concise status report. This surfaces blockers, next actions, and boundary context for stakeholders.

Do I need brief.md to compute spec status, or is spec.json enough?

spec.json is the primary file for computing spec status, while brief.md is optional. Parsing spec.json alongside requirements.md, design.md, and tasks.md provides sufficient data to compute phase progress and identify gaps.
