SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides clear, scannable visibility into the current phase, completion progress, and blockers for a specification so stakeholders can quickly understand readiness, next steps, and revalidation needs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context Loading: Reads spec metadata and supporting documents from the .kiro/specs directory to assemble a complete view of a feature spec.
  • Phase & Progress Analysis: Counts requirements and acceptance criteria, evaluates design and boundary sections, tallies completed versus remaining tasks, and checks approval status.
  • Boundary & Revalidation Watchlist: Surfaces upstream/downstream dependencies, boundary commitments, and nearby work that may require revalidation if the spec changes.
  • Use Cases: Prepare concise reports for steering meetings, identify blockers before design reviews, and track readiness during roadmap planning.

Quick Start

Can I identify boundary dependencies and revalidation needs from a feature spec?

Yes, you can identify boundary dependencies and revalidation needs by parsing boundary context in design.md and roadmap entries to surface upstream and downstream commitments that may require revalidation if the spec changes.

How do I prepare a concise spec status report for steering meetings or design reviews?

Preparing a concise spec status report involves assembling spec metadata, counting acceptance criteria, checking approval status, and summarizing phases and blockers into a language-specific scannable output for stakeholders.

Does the spec status summary require any external dependencies or components?
