SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the time-consuming process of drafting and preparing change proposals for Spectra-managed projects, turning a requirement or conversation into a fully-formed proposal and required artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Requirement resolution: Extracts the requirement from a command argument, plan file, or conversation context and derives a kebab-case change name.
  • Artifact orchestration: Uses the spectra CLI to create change directories, fetch proposal templates, generate artifacts in dependency order, run analyses, validate, and park or apply decisions.
  • Validation and guardrails: Performs inline self-review, runs spectra analyze/validate, enforces artifact rules and dependency checks, and prompts the user when clarification is needed.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant with /spectra-propose add dark mode to generate a full change proposal, create required artifacts, run analysis and validation, and park or apply the change.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a change proposal for features and bug fixes?

You can automate change proposal creation by deriving a kebab-case change name from a requirement, generating artifacts in dependency order, and running validation. This handles feature, bug-fix, and refactor changes by orchestrating required artifacts automatically.

What is change management artifact generation and validation?

Change management artifact generation is the process of sequentially creating required project artifacts in dependency order. Validation enforces artifact rules and dependency checks by running dedicated analyze and validate commands to ensure proposal integrity before parking or applying changes.

Do I need the spectra CLI to generate and validate change proposals?

Yes, the spectra CLI must be available in your PATH to generate and validate change proposals. The automation relies on spectra instructions, status, analyze, validate, and park commands to sequence artifacts, enforce rules, and apply decisions.

How do I create a complete change proposal from a conversation or plan file?

To create a complete change proposal, the system extracts the requirement from a command argument, plan file, or conversation context. It then fetches proposal templates, generates artifacts, performs inline self-review, and runs validation before prompting for a parking or apply decision.

When should I use automated proposal generation for refactoring changes?

Automated proposal generation is suited for refactoring changes when you need to draft proposals, scan specs, generate artifacts, and enforce dependency checks. It prompts for clarification when needed and ensures validation passes before parking or applying the refactor.
