SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of creating detailed software specifications by providing a structured, 5-stage pipeline that guides the development process from requirements gathering to complexity assessment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 5-Stage Pipeline: Systematically gather requirements, research the domain, write specifications, critique them, and assess complexity.
  • Integration with Legion Workflows: Seamlessly integrate with Legion's plan and build commands, enhancing the overall software development workflow.
  • Use Case: Ideal for projects requiring a comprehensive approach to software specification, especially when working on complex or multi-functional applications.

Quick Start

To initiate the spec pipeline for a specific phase, run legion spec-pipeline <phase-number>.

FAQPage Schema
What is a specification pipeline for software development?▼

A software specification pipeline systematically guides development through requirement gathering, domain research, specification writing, critique, and complexity assessment to produce structured documentation.

How do I start the spec pipeline for a specific project phase?▼

Run the command `legion spec-pipeline <phase-number>` to initiate the specification pipeline for your targeted development phase.

Does the spec pipeline integrate with Legion plan and build commands?▼

Yes, the spec pipeline seamlessly integrates with Legion workflows, enhancing the overall software development process by connecting structured specification with plan and build commands.

When do I need a multi-stage specification process for software projects?▼

You need a multi-stage specification process when working on complex or multi-functional applications requiring comprehensive requirement gathering, domain research, and automated complexity assessment.

What's the best way to assess software complexity during specification?▼

Assess software complexity by running it through a structured 5-stage specification pipeline that includes automated checks and a dedicated complexity assessment phase.

Can I critique specifications automatically within a development workflow?▼

Yes, the specification pipeline includes a dedicated critique stage to review specifications automatically before proceeding to complexity assessment.
