SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a rough feature idea into a complete, testable specification is slow and error-prone, often producing ambiguous requirements that derail planning. This Skill converts a natural language feature description into a structured spec.md file with user scenarios, functional requirements, success criteria, and a quality checklist. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Spec Generation: Creates a feature directory under specs/ with a spec.md built from the resolved spec-template, including user scenarios, functional requirements, success criteria, and key entities. - Quality Validation: Generates a requirements checklist and iteratively validates the spec against content quality, requirement completeness, and feature readiness criteria, with up to 3 clarification questions presented as option tables. - Extension Hooks: Supports before_specify and after_specify hooks from .specify/extensions.yml for branch creation and post-spec automation. - Use Case: A product engineer types a feature idea like "add OAuth2 login" and receives a numbered feature directory containing a stakeholder-ready specification validated against a quality checklist, ready for /speckit-plan. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run /speckit-specify followed by your feature description, such as "create a specification for adding user authentication with OAuth2".

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a feature specification with spec-kit?

Run /speckit-specify followed by your feature description in natural language. The command generates a short name, creates a numbered directory under specs/, writes spec.md from the resolved template, and validates it against a quality checklist.

How does speckit-specify handle unclear requirements?

It makes informed guesses using industry defaults and documents them in an Assumptions section. Only critical ambiguities become [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers, limited to 3, each presented with suggested answer options in a table for the user to choose.

Does speckit-specify require a spec-kit project structure?

Yes, it requires a project initialized with spec-kit containing a .specify/ directory. It reads templates, init-options.json for feature numbering, memory/constitution.md for governance, and extensions.yml for hooks.

Can I customize the feature directory naming in spec-kit?

Yes, set feature_numbering in .specify/init-options.json to sequential for NNN prefixes or timestamp for YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS prefixes. You can also explicitly provide SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY to override auto-generation entirely.

What happens after the specification is written?

The spec is validated against a requirements checklist with up to 3 fix iterations, after_specify hooks run if configured, and a completion report shows the feature directory, spec file path, and readiness for /speckit-clarify or /speckit-plan.
