SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents projects from starting with unclear requirements by turning ambiguous ideas into approved specs, enforceable design patterns, and test-backed scaffolding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Specification-First setup: Requires an approved structured specification before implementation, translating requirements into quantifiable success criteria.
  • Roadmap and versioning guidance: Establishes a milestone roadmap and ties checkpoints to target release versions for predictable delivery.
  • TDD-First project scaffolding: Recommends automated tests running with mocked/in-memory data and requires persisted test evidence in a consistent log.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run the /new-project sidecar guidance for your project by creating specs first, then generating the initial roadmap and TDD-ready scaffolding in line with Spec-First and TDD-First.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new project using spec-first and TDD-first standards?▼

Project scaffolding with spec-first and TDD-first standards requires an approved structured specification with quantifiable success criteria before implementation, then generates initial roadmap and TDD-ready scaffolding with automated tests running mocked in-memory data.

What design patterns does spec-first project initialization recommend for architecture guidelines?▼

Spec-first project initialization recommends repository, service, strategy, and event-driven design patterns to establish architecture guidelines, database schemas, and local project rules for ongoing development governance.

Can I establish a milestone roadmap and versioning guidance during project scaffolding?▼

Milestone roadmap and versioning guidance are established during project scaffolding by tying checkpoints to target release versions, ensuring predictable delivery and structured development phases from initial specification.

Does TDD-first scaffolding require persisted test evidence and sandbox-safe evaluation reporting?▼

TDD-first scaffolding requires persisted test evidence in a consistent log and includes a sandbox-safe test-evaluation reporting workflow with automated tests running mocked and in-memory data.

What's the best way to prevent starting a software project with unclear requirements and ambiguous ideas?▼

Preventing projects from starting with unclear requirements involves turning ambiguous ideas into approved specs, enforceable design patterns, and test-backed scaffolding through structured specification and architecture standards.
