spec-kit-specify

To turn vague requirements into a structured feature specification, provide a non-empty feature description and run the spec-kit specify workflow to generate a testable spec document. This process enforces structured templates and produces a requirements checklist for validation.

Writing testable specs from natural-language requirements involves converting free-form text into a structured document suitable for review. The specify workflow uses Spec Kit templates to draft the specification and automatically generates a requirements checklist for quality validation.

You can refine an existing draft specification by running the specify workflow on your current document. It guides users to rewrite and refresh ambiguous or missing requirements, ensuring the updated spec remains structured and testable for planning.

The feature specification process requires no external dependencies, but you must run the workflow from the repository root. You need to provide a non-empty feature description as input to generate the mandatory spec document and validation checklist.

You should use a structured specification workflow when starting a new feature or when requirements for an active feature are ambiguous or missing. It ensures your feature planning includes a mandatory, testable spec document ready for implementation.
