FAQPage Schema

How do I convert a natural language feature description into a structured specification?▼

To convert a natural language feature description into a structured specification, you provide your text to generate a complete SPEC_FILE using standardized templates. This process translates your input into a ready-to-review document with a quality checklist to ensure plan-readiness.

What is the best way to reduce ambiguity when creating feature specifications for planning?▼

The best way to reduce ambiguity when creating feature specifications is to generate a SPEC_FILE with iterative NEEDS CLARIFICATION markers. These markers prompt you to resolve gaps directly, ensuring the final specification is complete and ready for planning.

How do I validate that a specification is ready for development planning?▼

To validate that a specification is ready for development planning, you use a generated Specification Quality Checklist. This checklist verifies that your natural language input has been fully translated into an actionable spec and identifies any missing requirements.

Does generating a specification from natural language require a specific project structure?▼

Generating a specification from natural language requires a spec-kit project structure with an enforced .specify directory. This structure leverages standardized templates to automate the creation of your SPEC_FILE and ensure consistent formatting.

Can I extend the specification generation workflow with custom hooks?▼

You can extend the specification generation workflow with custom hooks before and after spec creation. These extension hooks allow you to enforce governance and modify behavior around the generation of your SPEC_FILE and quality checklist.
