Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided, three-phase deprecation workflow aligned with organizational standards.
  • Interactive mode to select features when a reason is provided without a feature number.
  • Automated plan generation, dependencies reporting, and migration path recommendations.

Quick Start

Run /speckit.deprecate <feature_number> "reason" to start a deprecation plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a phased feature deprecation without breaking changes?▼

A phased feature deprecation requires a structured workflow guiding users through warning states, feature-disablement, and eventual removal with migration paths. This ensures deprecation plans, dependencies, and timelines align with organizational standards.

What's the best way to communicate a feature sunset timeline to users?▼

Feature sunset communication is best handled through a three-phase deprecation workflow that generates rollout, communication, and rollback strategies. This ensures users receive proper warnings and migration guidance before features are disabled and removed.

How do I generate a migration path for deprecated features?▼

Migration paths for deprecated features are generated automatically as part of a structured deprecation plan. This includes dependencies reporting and recommendations ensuring users transition smoothly through warning, disabled, and removal phases.

When do I need a structured workflow for feature deprecation?▼

A structured deprecation workflow is needed when retiring features without a plan risks confusing users, causing breaking changes, or delaying sunset timelines. It provides warnings, feature-disablement, and removal guidance aligned with organizational standards.

Can I select specific features to deprecate interactively or do I need a feature number?▼

Interactive mode allows you to select features for deprecation when a reason is provided without a feature number. Alternatively, direct mode runs by specifying the feature number and reason together to initiate the deprecation plan.

Does the deprecation workflow include a rollback strategy?▼

The deprecation workflow includes a rollback strategy as part of its three-phase timeline generation. Alongside rollout and communication plans, this ensures safe execution of feature-disablement and removal phases with recovery options.
