SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When working with Spec Kitty, it is not always obvious which mission type fits a given task—software change, research, planning, or documentation. This Skill removes that guesswork by explaining the built-in mission types, their step contracts, and when each workflow should be chosen.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mission Type Comparison: Compares the built-in mission types—software-dev, research, plan, and documentation—before any new process is created.
  • Selection Guidance: Maps the requested work (feature change, standalone planning, documentation, research, or custom team workflow) to the correct mission.
  • Boundary Clarity: Clarifies that mission types define workflow behavior while skills only explain how to operate that behavior, without redefining the mission DAG.
  • Use Case: A user wants to gather evidence before a product decision and asks which mission to run; the Skill identifies the research mission as the right fit instead of the default software-dev workflow.

Quick Start

Ask which Spec Kitty mission type to use for your task, for example by describing whether you need a software change, research, planning, or documentation workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about spk-mission-types

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose a mission type in Spec Kitty?▼

Identify the requested work first: software change, standalone planning, documentation, research, or a custom team workflow. Then compare the built-in mission types—software-dev, research, plan, and documentation—and pick the one matching that work before creating any new process.

What mission types does Spec Kitty include?▼

Spec Kitty includes four built-in mission types: software-dev for the default feature and change workflow with tasks and work-package iteration, research for evidence gathering, plan for planning-only work, and documentation for documentation-oriented workflows.

When should I use the research mission instead of software-dev?▼

Use the research mission when the goal is evidence gathering before or during product decisions, rather than implementing a change. The software-dev mission is the default for feature and change work that produces tasks and work-package iteration.

Can a skill redefine the Spec Kitty mission DAG?▼

No. Mission types define workflow behavior, and skills only explain how to operate that behavior. Skills do not redefine the mission DAG; detailed step-contract and action-index mechanics belong to the legacy spec-kitty-mission-system skill.

Where do I find step contracts and action indices for missions?▼

Step-contract, procedure, action-index, and template-resolution mechanics are documented in the legacy spec-kitty-mission-system skill. The spk-mission-types skill focuses only on explaining mission types and when to choose each one.
