SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create, manage, and resume spec-driven tickets through the full lifecycle: research, specification, planning, task definition, and implementation. This ensures teams can align work with project visions and track progress using a standard, repeatable process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create new tickets with a consistent frontmatter and folder structure under specs/tickets, enabling easy tracking and handoffs.
  • Resume work on existing tickets by loading the ticket's state, related documents, and decisions to continue progress.
  • Manage the six-phase lifecycle (Research, Specify, Plan, Define Tasks, Implement, Done) with validation checkpoints and status transitions to keep work aligned with specs.

Quick Start

Describe the work to be done and I will create a new ticket with a generated ID and frontmatter in specs/tickets.

FAQPage Schema
What is spec-driven ticket management for project lifecycle tracking?

Spec-driven ticket management structures project work from initial description to completed implementation using standardized frontmatter, versioned documents, and lifecycle validation checkpoints to ensure alignment with project specifications.

How do I create a spec-driven ticket for new features or bugs?

Describe the work to be done and the system generates a new ticket with a unique ID and structured frontmatter within the specs/tickets folder, ready for lifecycle phase execution and tracking.

Can I resume work on an existing spec ticket without losing context?

Yes, the system loads the existing ticket's state, related documents, and prior decisions to resume progress seamlessly within the spec methodology framework.

How does the spec ticket lifecycle process work from research to done?

The lifecycle enforces a six-phase progression: Research, Specify, Plan, Define Tasks, Implement, and Done, with validation checkpoints and status transitions keeping execution aligned with specs.

Do I need to follow a specific methodology to use spec-driven ticketing?

Yes, the spec methodology reference must be loaded first to enforce frontmatter structure, versioned documents, and proper lifecycle transitions across project tickets.

What are the limitations of managing tickets without a spec-driven framework?

Without spec-driven ticketing, teams lack consistent folder structures, versioned documentation, and validation checkpoints, making it difficult to align work with project visions and track progress through a repeatable lifecycle.
