SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of producing complete, implementation-ready product and engineering specifications when inputs are ambiguous or incomplete.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Chain-loaded 8-phase generation: Runs discovery through architecture and epics/stories in a structured sequence.
  • Quality gate loop: Evaluates a readiness score to decide whether to pass, auto-fix, or force completion.
  • Resume support: Continues from the quality gate or auto-fix checkpoints to avoid restarting the full workflow.
  • Use Case: Turn an early idea into a coherent spec that includes requirements, architecture, and a backlog with explicit readiness evaluation.

Quick Start

Use the chain_loader command to run full spec generation: chain_loader start --chain=spec-generator --auto_yes true --goal "Create a spec for a unified API/AI gateway that includes shared policy execution and access logging."

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate implementation-ready product specifications from an ambiguous idea?

Product specification generation from vague inputs works by running a structured 8-phase chain that progresses through discovery, requirements, architecture, and epics to produce complete, implementation-ready engineering documents.

What is a readiness quality gate in requirements drafting?

A readiness quality gate in requirements drafting is an evaluation loop that scores specification completeness to decide whether to pass the document, trigger an auto-fix, or force completion before moving to the next phase.

How do I turn an initial product brief into architecture and epics?

To turn an initial product brief into architecture and epics, you run a chain-loaded workflow that sequentially processes your initial intent through discovery and requirements drafting, ultimately outputting structured architecture plans and backlog stories.

Can I resume a specification generation workflow if it stops at the quality gate?

Yes, you can resume a specification generation workflow from the quality gate or auto-fix checkpoints, which avoids restarting the full -phase sequence and continues the process using tracked variables like readiness score and fix iterations.

Does the auto-fix feature work when architecture planning inputs are incomplete?

Yes, the auto-fix feature works when architecture planning inputs are incomplete by evaluating the readiness score and automatically iterating on the specification to fill gaps, ensuring the document reaches an implementation-ready state.
