FAQPage Schema
What is a project specification with YAML frontmatter and XML-like blocks?▼

A project specification with YAML frontmatter and XML-like blocks is a structured, machine-readable document that defines formal requirements. It removes ambiguity by providing a standardized format that can drive task planning and implementation workflows.

How do I generate structured specifications for greenfield projects?▼

To generate structured specifications for greenfield projects, you use an automated spec generation tool to produce a complete project_specification document. This document includes formal frontmatter, XML-like sections, and task templates to guide execution.

Can I generate spec documents for an existing codebase?▼

Yes, you can generate spec documents for an existing codebase. The spec generation process supports extending existing codebases by creating structured specifications that align planning artifacts with implementation workflows and guide task planning.

Does the generated project specification support beads planning?▼

Yes, the generated project specification supports beads planning. The output provides a machine-readable spec document that can directly drive beads planning, implementation, and learning within the project workflow.

What is the best way to structure task templates in a project specification?▼

The best way to structure task templates in a project specification is by using XML-like specification blocks within a machine-readable document. This structure automates creation, aligns planning artifacts, and scales from simple features to full applications.
