SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Identify underspecified areas in feature specifications by prompting up to five targeted clarification questions and encoding the answers back into the spec for traceability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated clarification workflow: detects gaps, asks targeted questions, and records responses in the spec.
  • Traceable spec updates: encodes answers into the SPEC to reduce rework and misalignment.
  • Use Case: when a feature spec has vague acceptance criteria, run speckit-clarify to surface concrete questions and update the spec accordingly.

Quick Start

Provide your initial specification and run the clarifier to generate focused, actionable questions.
