SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of learning complex Spec-Driven Development (SDD) workflows by providing an interactive, guided, and hands-on onboarding experience directly within your own codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided SDD Cycle: Walks you through the entire SDD lifecycle, from exploration and proposal to verification and archiving.
  • Real-World Application: Teaches you by applying changes to your actual project, ensuring the lessons are relevant and immediately useful.
  • Use Case: A developer new to the Gentle-AI ecosystem uses this skill to perform their first real feature implementation, learning how to generate professional-grade technical artifacts like proposals, specs, and design documents along the way.

Quick Start

Ask the orchestrator to initiate the sdd-onboard skill to begin your guided walkthrough of the Spec-Driven Development workflow.

FAQPage Schema
What is spec-driven development and how does an onboarding workflow help?

Spec-driven development (SDD) is an approach where software changes are governed by formal technical artifacts like proposals, specifications, and design documents. An interactive onboarding workflow guides you through this complete lifecycle step-by-step within your active codebase to teach the methodology through hands-on practice.

How do I implement a new feature using a spec-driven development workflow?

To implement a feature using spec-driven development, you follow a structured lifecycle: exploration, proposal, specification, design, task breakdown, implementation, verification, and archival. A guided onboarding skill walks you through each phase to ensure strict adherence to professional documentation standards.

Can I learn spec-driven development directly within my existing codebase?

Yes, you can learn spec-driven development directly within your existing codebase. The onboarding process facilitates a hands-on guided walkthrough that applies real-world changes to your actual project, ensuring the lessons learned are immediately relevant to your development environment.

What technical artifacts are required in a spec-driven development cycle?

The spec-driven development cycle requires generating professional-grade technical artifacts throughout the software change lifecycle. These artifacts include formal proposals, detailed specifications, and design documents, which are produced during the proposal, specification, and design phases before task breakdown and implementation begin.

Do I need any specific dependencies or tools to start a spec-driven development onboarding process?

No specific external dependencies or tools are required to start the spec-driven development onboarding process. You only need an active codebase where an orchestrator can initiate the skill to begin your interactive, step-by-step guided walkthrough of the complete development cycle.
