spec-specify

To turn a natural language feature idea into a testable specification, you describe the concept in plain text. The tool then captures your goals, success criteria, and constraints to generate a structured, plan-ready spec.md document.

The best way to capture goals and constraints for product planning is through a mission brief workflow. You input your natural language feature ideas, and the system structures them into formal specifications with clear success criteria and testable demo statements.

Yes, you can automatically generate a feature branch and a spec template together. The workflow creates a standardized spec.md file directly alongside branch creation to ensure your planning artifacts are immediately version-controlled.

To validate a feature specification for completeness, the tool guides you through structured quality checks and clarifications. This validation and iteration process ensures your spec is fully testable and reduces ambiguity before development.

No, you do not need any specific dependencies to create a plan-ready spec.md file. The skill operates standalone to convert your natural language feature ideas into standardized specifications without requiring external components.

You should use a structured specification workflow for feature planning when you need to reduce ambiguity and accelerate team alignment. It is ideal for translating broad natural language ideas into formal, testable planning artifacts with clear demo statements.
