spec-workflow

A phase-gated software engineering workflow standardizes development from requirements to task planning, requiring explicit user confirmation before advancing. It is needed for complex projects involving multi-module integrations, feature development, and UI or database design.

To write EARS-based requirements, use the Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax to structure all requirement statements clearly. This standardizes requirements analysis, ensuring conditions and actions are explicitly defined before advancing to the design and task breakdown phases.

Manage multi-module integrations by using a structured workflow that breaks down complex architectures into documented tasks. It guides comprehensive planning from requirements analysis to task tracking, ensuring all design decisions and integration points are explicitly documented.

Yes, this software development workflow supports UI and database design planning. It provides comprehensive planning capabilities that cover requirements, design decisions, and task breakdown specifically tailored for complex projects involving these architectural components.

No, you cannot skip user confirmation steps. This workflow defines a mandatory phase-gated process, requiring explicit user confirmations before proceeding to the next phase to ensure requirements and design specifications are validated.

Task tracking and design documentation are handled through a documentation-driven approach. The workflow guides the creation and maintenance of explicit task documentation and tracks progress continuously from the initial specs through to final task completion.
