Frequently Asked Questions about specify

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create and validate software specifications for AI-assisted development?▼

Software specifications are created and validated by automating requirement generation from user input, ensuring drafted specs meet predefined standards before development begins.

How do I check if a new feature specification aligns with my current codebase?▼

Codebase reality checks verify that a new feature specification aligns with the existing codebase, preventing mismatches and integration errors during software development.

Can I integrate SME input and configure QA gates for code quality control?▼

SME input is integrated to incorporate expert knowledge, while configurable QA gates apply governance rules to enforce robust code quality control during specification refinement.

Do I need Python and YAML to run the specify command for specification creation?▼

Python is required to execute the scripts and external services, while YAML and Markdown formats are used to define and document the specification configuration.

What is the best way to refine software specifications before starting a project?▼

Refining software specifications is best handled by running an automated process that validates requirements against the codebase and incorporates domain research from SMEs.

When should I use an automated specification process instead of manual requirement drafting?▼

Automated specification processing should be used when beginning a new project or feature, ensuring all stakeholders have a clear understanding of requirements and objectives.
