SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the implementation planning workflow by applying a plan template to generate design artifacts, reducing manual planning effort and ensuring consistency across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Integrates with .specify project structure to drive planning and artifact generation.
  • Generates research notes, data models, and contracts from an IMPL_PLAN template.
  • Supports pre- and post-execution extension hooks with safe-guarded execution.

Quick Start

Run the speckit-plan workflow from the project root to generate research.md, data-model.md, and contracts artifacts using the IMPL_PLAN template.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate implementation planning to generate design artifacts?

Automate implementation planning by applying a plan template to generate design artifacts like research notes and data models. This workflow reduces manual effort by driving phase-driven artifact generation within structured project directories.

What design artifacts are generated during the implementation planning workflow?

The implementation planning workflow generates research notes, data models, and contracts. These design artifacts are produced by applying an IMPL_PLAN template to ensure consistency and coverage across your project.

Does the speckit-plan workflow require a specific project directory structure?

Yes, the speckit-plan workflow requires a Spec-Kit project structure that includes .specify directories and feature specs. This structure provides the necessary context to drive phase-driven artifact generation and pre-execution checks.

How do extension hooks work during artifact generation?

Extension hooks support pre- and post-execution phases during artifact generation with safe-guarded execution. They allow you to extend the planning workflow while maintaining deterministic pre-execution checks before generating design artifacts.

Can I generate research notes and data models from feature specs?

Yes, you can generate research notes and data models from feature specs by running the workflow from the project root. The system applies the IMPL_PLAN template to produce research.md, data-model.md, and contracts artifacts.

What are the limitations of automating implementation planning with templates?

Automated implementation planning with templates requires existing .specify directory structures and feature specs to function. It is limited to generating design artifacts deterministically and relies on pre-execution checks rather than dynamic runtime analysis.
