SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates turning the next backlog item into a concrete SPEC.md that guides implementation and reduces ambiguity across teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatically converts backlog details into a structured SPEC.md with a clear HOW-to plan.
  • Includes an interview-driven HOW section and a traceable link to the backlog item.
  • Use Case: A new backlog item arrives; generate a ready-to-review SPEC.md for engineering and product alignment.

Quick Start

Run the spec generator to produce the SPEC.md for the next backlog item.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically generate a SPEC.md from a backlog item?

To generate a SPEC.md from a backlog item, the skill reads BACKLOG.md and uses an interview-driven approach to create a detailed HOW-to specification at ./.gtd/<task_name>/SPEC.md for engineering alignment.

What is an interview-driven specification for backlog workflow automation?

An interview-driven specification guides implementation by interactively gathering requirements from the next backlog item, ensuring the resulting SPEC.md reduces ambiguity and maintains traceability for rapid team handoffs.

How do I turn BACKLOG.md entries into a concrete implementation plan?

You can turn BACKLOG.md entries into a concrete implementation plan by running the spec generator, which automatically converts backlog details into a structured HOW-to specification at ./.gtd/<task_name>/SPEC.md.

Can I use automated specification generation for rapid engineering and product alignment?

Yes, automated specification generation produces a ready-to-review SPEC.md that bridges engineering and product alignment by structuring backlog details into a clear, traceable implementation plan.

Does spec generation require any dependencies to structure backlog items?

No, spec generation requires no dependencies to structure backlog items, operating directly within your existing backlog workflow to read BACKLOG.md and output the specification file.
