SPEC authoring automation generates YAML metadata and EARS syntax blocks with validated structure. Use this Skill to create SPECs with enforced metadata fields, semantic versioning, and lifecycle compliance, then run validation tools before submission.

EARS syntax defines five requirement patterns: Ubiquitous (always true), Event-driven (triggered by events), State-driven (dependent on system state), Optional (conditional), and Unwanted Behaviors (forbidden actions). Apply these patterns to structure functional requirements in your SPEC.

SPEC documents require seven mandatory metadata fields plus nine optional fields in YAML front matter. This Skill enforces and documents the complete metadata reference to ensure consistency and pre-submission validation compliance.

TAG chaining and validation scripts ensure traceability and consistency across SPEC versions and dependencies. Use the included validation tooling to verify TAG chains and enforce semantic versioning before submitting SPECs to the repository.

Yes, this Skill supports SPEC creation, updates, and maintenance workflows within local repositories. Apply validation runs and automated checks to existing SPECs to enforce metadata compliance and lifecycle-required structure.
