SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the addition of a new active phase to a Spec-Driven Development (SDD) roadmap, ensuring consistency and alignment with project goals and tech-stack.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates Phase Creation: Automatically computes the next stable phase number and generates a phase entry.
  • Incorporates Dependencies: Grounds phase proposals against existing roadmaps and tech-stack.
  • User Input Guided: Uses structured questions to shape the entry and collect detailed phase content.
  • Review Integrated: Integrates with a built-in review process to ensure quality control before final commit.
  • Use Case: When beginning a new phase in an SDD project, this Skill guides you through creating the phase entry, ensuring it is well-aligned with existing documentation.

Quick Start

Run /sdd-new-phase [short title or one-sentence intent] to append a new phase to specs/roadmap.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add a new phase to an SDD roadmap file?

Adding a new phase to a Spec-Driven Development roadmap involves appending a structured entry to specs/roadmap.md. This ensures the new phase adheres to lifecycle rules and aligns with existing project goals and tech-stack.

What is spec-driven development phase creation?

Spec-driven development phase creation defines a new project stage within a roadmap document. It grounds phase proposals against existing roadmaps and tech-stack dependencies to maintain consistent documentation.

How do I ensure a new project phase aligns with my tech-stack and roadmap?

Alignment is achieved by incorporating project goals and tech-stack dependencies during phase creation. The automated process uses structured questions to shape the entry and validate it against existing roadmap constraints.

Does the roadmap phase creation process include a review step?

The roadmap phase creation process integrates with a built-in review mechanism. This validates quality control and ensures adherence to lifecycle rules before the new phase entry is committed to the roadmap file.

Do I need YAML parsing to manage spec-driven development roadmaps?

YAML parsing and file editing capabilities are required to manage spec-driven development roadmaps. These allow the automated phase addition process to read existing configurations and write valid phase entries.

What are the limitations of automating SDD phase creation?

Automating SDD phase creation requires existing YAML parsing and file editing capabilities. It depends on structured user input to shape the entry, meaning poorly defined project goals will result in misaligned phase proposals.
