SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plans often exist as abstract ideas without a clear path to implementation. This Skill translates durable planning artifacts into structured specs and traceable tasks, enabling teams to execute plans with auditable context linked to design rationale.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two execution paths: Import path for multi-spec plans and Manual path for incremental updates.
  • Trait-aware planning: Supports acceptance criteria traits and automated task derivation.
  • Programmatic orchestration: Includes batch execution to create multiple specs/tasks atomically and reproducibly.
  • Lifecycle guidance: Encapsulates design -> approved/active -> completed transitions with plan notes and implementation details.

Quick Start

Run the design workflow for a new plan by issuing kspec workflow start @spec-plan-design and then select either the Import or Manual execution path.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a high-level project plan into actionable development specs?

To turn a high-level project plan into actionable specs, you can use an automated workflow that translates planning artifacts into structured specs and traceable downstream tasks, ensuring execution maintains auditable context linked to design rationale.

What is the best way to manage multi-spec plans for complex features?

The best way to manage multi-spec plans is using an Import execution path that parses YAML plan documents to establish parent-child relationships, lifecycle states, and trait-based acceptance criteria for coherent task derivation.

How do I create multiple specs and tasks atomically from a single plan?

You can create multiple specs and tasks atomically by using programmatic batch execution, which orchestrates the creation of multiple specs and downstream tasks reproducibly from a parsed plan document.

Can I incrementally update existing plans with new tasks without regenerating everything?

Yes, you can incrementally update existing plans with new tasks by using the Manual execution path, which allows you to add or modify specs and tasks without regenerating the entire multi-spec plan structure.

Does spec-plan support lifecycle states for tracking plan implementation?

Yes, spec-plan supports lifecycle states by encapsulating transitions from design to approved/active and finally completed, tracking plan notes and implementation details throughout the execution process.

When do I need YAML parsing for task management workflows?

You need YAML parsing for task management workflows when you have structured plan documents that require the establishment of parent-child relationships and lifecycle states to ensure coherent derivation of tasks and specs from durable planning artifacts.
