speckit-specify

To convert natural language feature descriptions into structured specifications, describe your feature request and the system generates a concise short name, initializes a spec directory under specs/, and loads a standard template for you. It then prompts for clarifications to ensure the specification is complete and testable.

The best way to generate a feature spec directory and template from plain text is to input your feature description and let the system automatically create the specs/ directory. It initializes a standard template with a spec.md file, filling sections like user scenarios, requirements, and success criteria automatically.

The specification quality checklist validates feature requirements by reviewing the generated spec for completeness and surfacing necessary clarifications to stakeholders. This integrated validation process minimizes ambiguity and ensures the final specification is testable before planning begins.

Yes, you can customize workflow behavior by using pre- and post-spec extension hooks. These hooks coordinate with the specification process, allowing you to execute custom actions and integrate additional workflow steps before the spec is created and after it is finalized.

No, speckit-specify does not require any dependencies to initialize a spec.md file. It operates independently to generate a concise feature short name, create the spec directory, and load the project template without needing external components.

If the generated feature specification lacks clear assumptions or success criteria, the system will actively prompt you for clarifications. This interactive process ensures stakeholders provide the necessary details to fill template sections completely and pass the integrated quality checklist.
