Spec-driven development planning is automated by generating technical design artifacts, data models, and validation guides directly from project feature specifications. This structured workflow ensures technical alignment before any code is actually written.

Constitution validation prevents technical debt by checking proposed implementation plans against project-specific architectural constitution files and extension hooks. This enforcement mechanism ensures new features maintain established architectural standards and required test coverage.

Generating data models and task breakdowns is best handled by orchestrating an automated planning workflow that reads feature specifications and outputs structured technical design artifacts. This enforces consistent feature development and maintains high quality standards.

Yes, a specs directory is required to start spec-driven development planning. The workflow specifically reads the current feature specification found within this directory to automatically initiate the generation of research, data models, and validation guides.

Yes, you can validate proposed architectural changes against custom project rules. The planning workflow validates proposed changes against your project-specific architectural constitution files to prevent technical debt and ensure alignment before implementation begins.
