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.
