spec-kit-workflow

Spec Kit workflow structures feature planning through eight phases: constitution, specify, clarify, plan, checklist, tasks, analyze, and implement. This enforces consistency across specs, plans, and tasks, reducing drift and accelerating delivery from initial discussion through implementation.

The workflow generates and maintains constitution.md, spec.md, plan.md, checklists, and tasks.md files. Each artifact is checked for cross-file consistency before implementation begins, ensuring alignment between requirements, planning, and execution.

Yes. The workflow applies to feature discussion, requirements analysis, clarify questions, planning, and task generation across projects. It guides teams through each phase with structured prompts to move from specification to clarification to planning to implementation.

Ask Claude to begin a new feature with the Spec Kit workflow using the specify phase command. Claude will guide you through the prescribed phases, providing prompts and context preservation across each step until implementation.

Workflow enforcement prevents teams from skipping phases or diverging mid-project. By checking that each feature follows the prescribed sequence, it eliminates planning gaps, maintains alignment across stakeholders, and ensures consistent deliverables.
