sdd

Spec-driven development is a workflow where code implementation follows clearly defined specification documents. It manages technical design documents by tracking their states from draft and review through approved, implemented, and archived.

You can create a specification document for new features by using the sdd skill to guide you through defining requirements, technical design, and acceptance criteria before any code is written.

Specification review and approval reduces ambiguity by validating specification documents with stakeholders before implementation begins, ensuring engineering teams build code that aligns with approved designs and reducing rework.

Yes, you can use the sdd skill to define detailed specifications for a user authentication flow. Product managers can outline requirements and acceptance criteria for engineering leads to review and approve before implementation.

The best way to track specification lifecycle states is through structured workflow management, moving documents from draft to review, approved, implemented, and finally archived to ensure code aligns with approved designs.

You need to define acceptance criteria within a development workflow during the specification creation phase, ensuring that technical design and requirements are established and reviewed by stakeholders before code implementation starts.
