SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

ShipIT often requires a multi-step interactive pipeline to create feature specifications, research, and plans. This Skill collapses that pipeline into a single autonomous pass so teams can go from a one-line idea to a ready-to-implement spec with minimal interaction.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-pass spec generation: Produce spec.yaml, research.yaml, plan.yaml, tasks.yaml, and feature.yaml from a single user-provided one-liner.
  • Silent codebase analysis: Inspect architecture, existing specs, affected files, and testing patterns to infer decisions and dependencies without noisy user prompts.
  • Branch & scaffold automation: Create a numbered feature branch and run existing init scripts to scaffold files and templates, then commit the complete spec.
  • TDD-first tasks: Output includes RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycles and verifiable acceptance criteria so implementation can proceed with tests-first discipline.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate feature specifications from a one-line description automatically?

Generate feature specifications from a one-line description by running an autonomous pipeline that analyzes your codebase and outputs spec.yaml, research.yaml, plan.yaml, tasks.yaml, and feature.yaml files without interactive prompts.

Can I create a Git feature branch and spec scaffold in a single pass?

Create a Git feature branch and spec scaffold in a single pass by using automation that infers kebab-case names, scaffolds files via existing init scripts, and commits the complete spec branch automatically.

Does this feature spec generation approach enforce TDD cycles?

Feature spec generation enforces TDD cycles by outputting tasks structured with RED-GREEN-REFACTOR phases and verifiable acceptance criteria so implementation proceeds with tests-first discipline.

What is the best way to fast-track small-to-medium feature creation in a Git repository?

Fast-track small-to-medium feature creation in a Git repository by collapsing multi-step interactive planning into an autonomous pass that performs silent codebase analysis and commits a ready-to-implement spec.

Do I need an existing initialization script to scaffold feature specs?

You need existing initialization scripts to scaffold feature specs because the automation invokes these scripts to generate templates and files before committing the numbered feature branch.

Why does autonomous spec generation perform silent codebase analysis?

Autonomous spec generation performs silent codebase analysis to inspect architecture, existing specs, affected files, and testing patterns so it can infer decisions and dependencies without noisy user prompts.
