progress-tracking

Progress tracking coordinates your speckit workflow phases by implementing TodoWrite item patterns and cross-artifact consistency checks. It manages session initialization, dependency resolution, and progress item creation across spec, plan, and implementation artifacts to enforce loading order and exit criteria.

TodoWrite patterns define universal and phase-specific schemas for tracking progress. Universal patterns apply across all phases; phase-specific schemas target planning and verification stages. These patterns structure progress items to maintain consistency and enable automated verification across artifacts.

Yes. Progress tracking is designed to work with the speckit orchestrator and applies at the start of any /speckit.* command. It leverages the command-skill-matrix and orchestrator modules to resolve dependencies, enforce preconditions, and manage multi-phase coordination automatically.

Progress tracking performs cross-artifact consistency checks that validate artifact relationships and enforce dependency loading order. These checks run during session initialization to catch misalignment before execution and ensure all phases align with your specification.

Progress tracking enforces loading order through command dependency resolution and exit criteria validation. If dependencies load out of sequence, the skill fails precondition checks during initialization, preventing execution until the correct order is restored.
