FAQPage Schema
How do I check the status of my spec-driven development workflow?

To check your spec-driven development workflow status, run the status command to scan for research, design, proposal, and verification artifacts, reporting current progress and recommending the next workflow action.

What artifacts are required for a complete spec-driven development change?

A complete spec-driven development change requires the presence of research.md, proposal.md, and verify.md artifacts to provide a full picture of the research, proposal, and verification phases.

How do I know the next step in my SDD workflow?

To determine the next step in your SDD workflow, the status assessment evaluates existing artifacts and recommends the appropriate action: completing research, designing, proposing, applying changes, verifying, or archiving.

Can I track development management progress without all the SDD artifacts?

You can track development management progress without all artifacts. The status check assesses research, design, proposal, and verification documents individually, reporting the current state and recommending the next workflow step.

Does spec-driven development status tracking require any special environment setup?

Spec-driven development status tracking requires no special environment setup or dependencies. It operates by checking for the presence of standard workflow artifact files like research.md, proposal.md, and verify.md within your project directory.
