SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Spec-Driven Development status dashboard aggregates and displays the progress of all features in the workflow, giving teams a single source of truth for where each feature stands and what needs attention.

Core Features & Use Cases

Scans the specs/ directory for feature directories and reads the current step from .spec-context.json when available, or infers it from existing files (spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md).
Presents a concise, filterable dashboard that lists each feature with its current step and last updated timestamp, enabling quick assessments and prioritization.
Highlights paused states and current tasks to improve visibility and collaboration across product, design, and engineering teams.

Quick Start

Run /sdd:status to view the live spec dashboard.

FAQPage Schema

How do I create a status dashboard for spec-driven development workflows?▼

A status dashboard for spec-driven development scans the specs/ directory and reads .spec-context.json files to summarize feature progress. It aggregates current steps, tasks, and update times into a centralized, filterable view.

What is the best way to track feature spec progress across product and engineering teams?▼

Tracking feature spec progress across teams requires a centralized dashboard that reads .spec-context.json metadata. It highlights paused states and current tasks, providing a single source of truth for where each feature stands and what needs attention.

How does a spec status dashboard infer the current workflow step if .spec-context.json is missing?▼

A spec status dashboard infers the current workflow step by checking for existing files like spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md within the feature directories. This fallback mechanism ensures progress tracking remains functional even without explicit context metadata.

Do I need a specific project management tool to view spec states and last updated timestamps?▼

You do not need a specific project management tool to view spec states. The dashboard reads directly from the filesystem under specs/ and accesses .spec-context.json metadata to render progress, current tasks, and last updated timestamps.

Can I filter the project management status dashboard to highlight paused feature specs?▼

Yes, you can filter the project management status dashboard to highlight paused feature specs. The dashboard presents a concise view that lists each feature with its current step and last updated timestamp, specifically highlighting paused states for quick assessment.
