SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that the code specifications are current and complete, providing executable contracts for developers and AI to follow, thus reducing errors and increasing consistency in the codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Feature Implementation: After developing new features, this Skill helps update the corresponding code-specs to reflect the new implementation details.
  • Bug Fixes: When bugs are fixed, this Skill guides updating the specifications to prevent future mistakes and improve clarity.
  • Design Decisions: This Skill is used to document design decisions that affect the implementation and usage of code within the project.
  • Use Case: A developer has just implemented a new feature that includes a complex interaction between the frontend and backend systems. Using this Skill, they update the relevant code-specs to ensure future work is consistent with this new design.

Quick Start

After implementing the new feature, use the 'update-spec' skill to add a new section to 'backend/calling-endpoints.md' explaining the new API signature and expected response structure.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep code specifications up-to-date after implementing new features?▼

To keep code specifications up-to-date after implementing new features, use this Skill to update the corresponding code-specs and document new API signatures, ensuring executable contracts remain current and consistent for future development.

What are executable contracts in code specification and when do I need them?▼

Executable contracts in code specification are clear behavioral agreements that guide developers and AI. You need them when implementing features, fixing bugs, or making design decisions to reduce codebase errors and increase consistency.

How do I document design decisions that affect frontend and backend interactions?▼

To document design decisions affecting frontend and backend interactions, update relevant code-specs by adding sections to specification files explaining API signatures and expected response structures to ensure future work aligns with the new design.

Can I use version control to maintain code specifications during bug maintenance?▼

Yes, you can maintain code specifications during bug maintenance within a version control system. After fixing bugs, updating the specifications prevents future mistakes and improves clarity for developers and AI.

Does updating code specification require an existing documentation system?▼

Yes, updating code specification assumes a codebase that requires documentation and already has a version control system. It targets scenarios like feature implementation and design decisions by providing executable contracts.
