SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Project requirements, priorities, and integrations frequently change, leading to outdated documentation and misalignment across project artifacts. This Skill automates the complex process of updating specifications, ensuring changes are consistently propagated across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md, and logged for full traceability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Requirement Modification: Add, remove, or modify user stories and acceptance criteria, with automatic propagation.
  • Priority Management: Shift priorities (P1, P2, P3) for user stories and automatically adjust related tasks.
  • MCP Integration: Sync specifications with external project management tools like JIRA, Confluence, or Linear.
  • Clarification Resolution: Incorporate decisions from [CLARIFY] tags into the specification and plan.
  • Use Case: If a business stakeholder decides a "password reset" feature is now P1, use spec:update to change its priority in spec.md, automatically update related tasks in tasks.md, and log the decision in DECISIONS-LOG.md, ensuring all documents reflect the latest changes.

Quick Start

Use spec:update to change the priority of user story US1.4 to P1 in the current feature.
