speckit-plan

You can generate design artifacts by running the speckit-plan workflow, which automates creation of research.md, data-model.md, contracts/, and quickstart.md files from a plan template with deterministic pre- and post-hook checks.

A spec-kit style project contains a .specify directory and a defined IMPL_PLAN. Planning automation works by following the Outline to guide phases from research to quickstart, producing deterministic execution and structured design artifacts.

Yes, you need a .specify directory containing a defined IMPL_PLAN to use this planning automation. The workflow targets spec-kit style projects specifically and relies on these structures to guide phases from research to quickstart deterministically.

Planning implementation workflows produces design artifacts such as research.md, data-model.md, contracts/, and quickstart.md. These outputs are generated automatically by following the plan template through phases from research to quickstart.

Yes, you can use plan templates to automate research and data-model generation. The workflow reads the IMPL_PLAN template, performs pre- and post-hook checks, and outputs structured artifacts like research.md and data-model.md deterministically.

The best way to ensure deterministic execution when generating design artifacts is to use a structured plan template with pre- and post-execution hook checks. This workflow follows a defined Outline to guide phases from research to quickstart consistently.
