You can generate executable specifications by feeding structured inputs like requirements, complexity analysis, and research findings into an automated generator to produce a comprehensive markdown document. This process ensures strict traceability and prevents content invention.

Automated traceability enforcement works by tracing all generated specification content directly back to source artifacts. This strict "no invention" policy ensures that every requirement and architectural detail is derived from provided inputs rather than generated artificially.

To create an executable specification document, you need structured input files such as requirements.json, complexity.json, and research.json. These inputs provide the foundational requirements and technical research needed to generate the final spec.md file.

Yes, you can validate specification completeness and traceability automatically. The specification generation process supports automated validation and quality gates to ensure the final document is comprehensive and fully traced to source artifacts.

The best way to prevent invention when generating technical specifications is to use a generation process that enforces a strict "no invention" policy. This is achieved by tracing all content back to original source artifacts and structured inputs.

You need an executable specification document when transitioning from user stories and technical research to implementation. It serves as the definitive guide for developers, detailing requirements, architecture, dependencies, and test cases to ensure strict adherence to defined parameters.
