SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Custom steering documents provide domain-specific guidelines and reusable templates to ensure consistent AI guidance across projects and contexts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Configurable Inclusion Modes: ALWAYS, CONDITIONAL, and MANUAL modes determine how steering documents are loaded into AI interactions.
  • Template Library: Prebuilt steering templates (e.g., API Design Standards, Test Patterns, Component Standards) to accelerate guidance creation.
  • Workflow Integration: Guidance on where to place steering files and how to reference them in AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md.

Quick Start

Create or adapt steering documents in .spec/steering/{filename}.md and reference them in your project tooling so they load automatically as needed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create domain-specific steering documents to guide AI?▼

To create steering documents, define context-specific guidelines and store them as reusable templates under .spec/steering. This enforces structured metadata and file-pattern guidance so teams generate consistent AI interactions quickly.

What are the inclusion modes for AI steering workflows?▼

Inclusion modes determine how steering documents load into AI interactions: ALWAYS loads them every time, CONDITIONAL loads them based on specific triggers, and MANUAL requires explicit invocation for targeted guidance.

How do I reference steering documents in AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md?▼

Reference steering documents by placing them in .spec/steering/{filename}.md and configuring your project tooling like AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md to load these files automatically based on their inclusion mode.

When do I need custom steering templates beyond standard documentation?▼

You need custom steering templates when standard documents lack domain-specific guidelines. They provide reusable, context-specific guidance for consistent AI behavior across distinct projects and varying technical constraints.

Can I use prebuilt steering templates for API design and test patterns?▼

Yes, prebuilt steering templates like API Design Standards, Test Patterns, and Component Standards are available to accelerate guidance creation, ensuring consistent AI interactions without starting from scratch.
