What problem does it solve?
It helps you reliably execute a specification-driven implementation workflow across all required phases, with validation checkpoints and optional extensibility hooks.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Spec-driven task execution: Runs the full tasks plan by loading tasks.md and plan.md (and optional supporting docs like data-model.md, contracts/, research.md, and quickstart.md) to ensure implementation matches the intended architecture.
- Guardrails before coding: Performs prerequisite checks via a repo script, verifies checklist completion status, and can stop to request confirmation if checklists are incomplete.
- Extensible pre/post behavior: Executes before_implement and after_implement extension hooks defined in .specify/extensions.yml, including presentation and ordering rules for optional vs mandatory hooks.
Quick Start
Run speckit-implement to execute the full implementation plan for the current spec-kit project, optionally providing guidance or a task filter if supported by your setup.
