SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The specd-new skill enables teams to translate ambiguous user intent into a structured SpecD change plan, surfacing relevant specs and capturing exploration context before any artifact is written.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Surface affected specs from intent discovery and propose a new change with a clear scope.
  • Load project context, inspect workspaces, and guide the discovery workflow without creating artifacts.
  • Save a comprehensive exploration record (.specd-exploration.md) to support downstream design steps.

Quick Start

Load the project context and begin intent discovery for a new SpecD change.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn ambiguous user intent into a structured change plan?

You can translate user intent into a structured change plan by running a discovery session to surface affected specs, propose a change scope, and capture exploration context without writing artifacts.

What is a SpecD change discovery workflow?

A SpecD change discovery workflow loads project context, registers specs, runs entry and exit hooks, and saves exploration state to support downstream design steps.

How do I identify affected specs before proposing a software change?

You identify affected specs by loading project context and inspecting workspaces during intent discovery, which surfaces relevant specifications for the proposed change scope.

Does the SpecD discovery process generate code or artifact files?

No, the discovery process does not produce artifacts. It solely saves a comprehensive exploration record in a .specd-exploration.md file to support subsequent design steps.

Can I save exploration context for later design steps without creating project artifacts?

Yes, you can save exploration context by writing a .specd-exploration.md file that captures the discovery session details while strictly enforcing guardrails against generating artifacts.

When should I not use a discovery session for spec changes?

You should not use a discovery session when you need to directly produce design artifacts or code, as this workflow specifically captures exploration state without generating output files.
