speckit-plan

Automated technical implementation planning is executed through a structured workflow that transforms high-level requirements into detailed design artifacts, data models, and interface contracts. This ensures technical constraints are met before coding begins.

Yes, generating technical design artifacts requires a spec-kit project structure containing a .specify directory and valid constitution files. These prerequisites are necessary to enforce architectural standards during the planning workflow.

To resolve technical unknowns before coding, an automated research workflow identifies specific technical questions and dispatches research tasks. This process generates research documentation to eliminate ambiguity during feature implementation planning.

Structured implementation planning handles interface contract definition by applying a gate-checked workflow to feature specifications. This generates consistent design artifacts and validation guides that define exact interface contracts and data models.

No, this workflow is designed for software engineering projects requiring rigorous specification and strict architectural standards. It relies on valid constitution files to enforce compliance, making it unsuitable for loosely defined projects.

Implementation planning fails without a .specify directory because the workflow depends on valid constitution files within this structure to enforce architectural standards. Without these gate-checks, the automated generation of technical design artifacts cannot execute.
