speckit-specify

To turn natural-language ideas into feature specifications, describe your feature in plain language and Speckit generates a formal spec. It populates sections like user scenarios, functional requirements, and acceptance criteria using standard templates.

The best way to structure user scenarios and acceptance criteria is by leveraging a standard project structure with predefined templates. This ensures all functional requirements and assumptions are systematically populated and aligned for stakeholders.

Yes, you can automate validation checks for feature specifications. Speckit runs automated quality checklists against the generated spec file and provides actionable guidance to improve specification quality before review.

You generate a branch for feature planning and review by running Speckit on your natural-language prompt. The output includes the SPEC_FILE path and branch information, making it ready for stakeholder discussion and handoff.

Yes, Speckit supports pre- and post-execution hooks for specification generation. It manages these hooks while keeping extension points extensible, allowing you to customize the workflow around populating feature requirements and assumptions.

A limitation of using templates for feature specification is that vague natural-language inputs may produce incomplete functional requirements. While automated validation checks help guide improvements, human review is still needed to ensure assumptions and acceptance criteria fully align with product goals.
