SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides users from a single-line idea to three umbrella documents (REQUIREMENTS.md, DESIGN.md, TASKS.md) that Codex / goal can load to execute using a strict TDD red-green-refactor workflow, ensuring a production-ready spec-first process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates three umbrella docs (REQUIREMENTS.md, DESIGN.md, TASKS.md) with cross-links to PRD, NON_GOALS, ACCEPTANCE, IMPACT, PLAN, and VERIFY.
  • Enforces a stepwise TDD workflow for tasks, guiding questions, and validation checkpoints.
  • Outputs ready-to-use CODEX_START.md and CLAUDE_CODE_START.md prompts for downstream agents to run.

Quick Start

Provide a one-sentence requirement to the spec-wizard and it will generate the three umbrella documents (REQUIREMENTS.md, DESIGN.md, TASKS.md) ready for Codex execution.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a one-line idea into codex-ready plan documents?▼

To turn a one-line idea into codex-ready plans, provide the requirement to the spec-wizard, which generates three umbrella documents: REQUIREMENTS.md, DESIGN.md, and TASKS.md for downstream execution.

How does TDD red-green-refactor workflow integrate with generated plan documents?▼

The TDD red-green-refactor workflow is enforced through the generated TASKS.md, which structures stepwise tasks with guiding questions and validation checkpoints to ensure a strict test-driven development process.

Can I use these generated umbrella documents with both Codex and Claude Code?▼

Yes, the generated umbrella documents work with both Codex and Claude Code. The skill outputs ready-to-use CODEX_START.md and CLAUDE_CODE_START.md prompts for downstream agents to load and execute.

What's the best way to ensure traceability between PRD, design, and task plans?▼

To ensure traceability between PRD, design, and tasks, the umbrella documents are self-contained with cross-references to PRD, NON_GOALS, ACCEPTANCE, and IMPACT, linking downstream contracts for validation.

Do I need existing requirements to generate specification documents for TDD execution?▼

No existing requirements are needed. You can start with a single-sentence requirement, and the spec-wizard will generate the complete set of self-contained umbrella documents ready for Codex execution.

When should I not use a spec-first generation approach for task planning?▼

A spec-first generation approach is not ideal for exploratory prototyping or rapidly changing requirements, because the generated umbrella documents enforce a strict TDD workflow with fixed cross-references and validation checkpoints.
