SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Converts informal, natural-language feature descriptions into a structured, testable product specification so teams avoid ambiguous requirements and reduce planning delays.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Template-driven spec creation: Generates a spec.md inside a new feature directory using .specify/templates/spec-template.md and records the path in .specify/feature.json.
  • Pre/post extension hook support: Detects and reports optional or mandatory hooks from .specify/extensions.yml and surfaces commands or automatic executions without evaluating hook conditions.
  • Quality validation and checklists: Produces a requirements checklist, validates the spec against quality criteria, iterates fixes up to three times, and lists remaining clarifications via up to three [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] questions.
  • Real-world example: Product managers can turn a short product idea into a ready spec folder (specs/003-new-checkout) with acceptance criteria and a validation checklist for planning.

Quick Start

Run the speckit-specify workflow with a clear feature description to create a spec.md and a quality checklist in the specs/ directory.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-specify

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a natural language feature description into a structured product spec?▼

To turn a natural language feature description into a structured product spec, provide the text to the workflow which generates a formal spec.md file and a requirements checklist inside a designated feature directory.

How does automated spec writing handle quality validation and missing requirements?▼

Automated spec writing validates generated files against quality criteria, iterates corrections up to three times, and lists remaining ambiguities using up to three [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] questions for unresolved requirements.

Can I use custom templates and extension hooks when generating feature specifications?▼

You can use custom templates from .specify/templates/ and configure optional or mandatory extension hooks via .specify/extensions.yml, which the system detects and reports during feature spec generation.

What is the best way to organize feature spec files for engineering planning?▼

The best way to organize feature spec files is within a specs/ directory structure, creating individual folders like specs/003-new-checkout that contain the spec.md, acceptance criteria, and validation checklists.

Does spec generation require manual folder creation before writing the spec.md file?▼

Spec generation does not require manual folder creation; it automatically creates the specs/<prefix>-<short-name> directory, writes the spec.md file, and records the path in .specify/feature.json.

Why do my informal product requirements cause planning delays and ambiguous specs?▼

Informal product requirements cause planning delays due to ambiguity, which this specification process solves by converting natural language descriptions into testable, structured product specifications with clear acceptance criteria.
