What problem does it solve?
Projects and features often suffer from vague requirements, scope creep, and disconnected implementation steps; this skill provides a structured, traceable workflow that turns goals into testable specifications and atomic tasks, reducing ambiguity and rework.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Four-phase workflow: Specify, Design, Tasks, Implement+Validate to move from idea to verifiable implementation.
- Persistent project memory: Creates and maintains .specs artifacts (PROJECT.md, ROADMAP.md, STATE.md) for session continuity, decisions, and blockers.
- Brownfield and greenfield support: Map existing codebases into STACK/ARCHITECTURE/CONVENTIONS/STRUCTURE/TESTING/INTEGRATIONS artifacts, then plan and execute feature work with clear dependencies and acceptance criteria.
- Context and model guidance: Manages context loading limits, suggests appropriate model classes for tasks, and enforces WHEN/THEN acceptance criteria for verification.
Quick Start
Say Initialize project to create PROJECT.md and set up the .specs directory so the agent can begin spec-driven planning.
