spec-first:spec

To define functional requirements and acceptance criteria, use a structured, multi-phase workflow that breaks down feature ideas into testable specifications. This ensures comprehensive requirement coverage before moving to design and implementation.

Adapting requirement specification for different feature complexities involves assessing complexity levels like Trivial, Simple, Moderate, or Complex. The workflow then dynamically adjusts its execution paths and quality gates to match the required rigor.

Maintaining traceability for functional requirements and acceptance criteria is done through CLI-driven updates. The system registers specifications and automatically updates a traceability matrix to ensure all requirements are tracked.

The best way to structure feature definition before software design is using a spec-first approach. It systematically generates detailed functional requirements and acceptance criteria, establishing a solid foundation for subsequent implementation phases.

Yes, you can use a spec-first approach for agile feature definition. It guides the generation of detailed functional requirements and testable acceptance criteria based on project context, fitting seamlessly into iterative development workflows.

Yes, the Spec-First CLI is required to manage requirement traceability effectively. It integrates directly with the specification workflow to register requirements and update the traceability matrix, ensuring full lifecycle tracking.
