summary

To generate stable documentation, you consolidate finalized requirements, plans, and implementation details into a single docs/spec artifact. This captures input-output contracts, main workflows, and acceptance criteria to guide future maintenance.

The best way to consolidate module specifications is to trace finalized behavior across modules into a unified docs/spec. This ensures traceability of decisions, scope boundaries, and dependencies while tracking known gaps and TODOs.

You need to write a specification for software requirements after defining requirements, plans, or implementation. Capturing the resulting behavior as stable docs/spec ensures future maintenance clarity and satisfies documentation governance.

Yes, you can track TODOs and known gaps within project documentation. By transforming explicit requirements and implemented code into a consolidated spec, the artifact actively records boundary conditions and unresolved items for maintenance.

Writing a specification helps with cross-module traceability by applying a consolidated spec across modules. It records final behavior, dependencies, and boundary conditions, ensuring decisions and scope boundaries are maintained.

A limitation of a single docs/spec artifact is that it only captures explicit requirements and finalized code behavior. It may not dynamically update without re-running the process, meaning undocumented runtime behaviors outside the spec are not captured.
