specification-layers

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured, layered approach to software development, ensuring alignment from high-level use cases down to detailed implementation, preventing costly rework and maintaining coherence.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Diamond Topology Model: Organizes work across five distinct layers (Use Cases, Requirements/Design, Architecture, Test List, Implementation).
• Bidirectional Traceability: Ensures clear links between layers and consistency across parallel concerns like requirements and design.
• State Persistence: Saves progress in docs/state.toml for seamless continuation across sessions.
• Use Case: When starting a new complex feature, use this Skill to systematically define user goals, derive atomic requirements and interaction designs, architect the system, specify tests, and guide implementation, ensuring all parts align with the original intent.

Quick Start

Use the specification-layers skill to begin planning the structure of a new project by defining its use cases.
