SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams track the lifecycle of the currently selected spec and determine the exact next action to take.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Lifecycle stage detection: identifies current stage and checks evidence to determine progress.
  • Next-action recommendation: returns the single recommended next step to advance the spec.
  • Context awareness: reads plan/deferrals and code/test status to ensure decisions are grounded.

Quick Start

Analyze the currently selected spec and return the single next action to progress it.

FAQPage Schema
How do I determine the current lifecycle stage of a spec?

To determine the current lifecycle stage of a spec, the system verifies evidence in code, tests, and plan files. It identifies whether the spec is in implementation, deferrals, review, or commit stages based on this contextual data.

What is the best way to pick the next action for an ongoing spec?

The best way to pick the next action for an ongoing spec is to cross-reference code and test status with plan deferrals. This context-aware approach proposes a single recommended step to advance the spec lifecycle.

How do I track spec deferrals and implementation progress?

You can track spec deferrals and implementation progress by reading plan files and checking code/test status. This grounds lifecycle decisions and verifies evidence to justify the recommended next action.

Does spec lifecycle management verify evidence before recommending a commit?

Yes, spec lifecycle management verifies evidence in code, tests, and plan files before recommending a commit. It ensures implementation is complete and deferrals are properly documented before advancing.
