SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Quickly produces a complete feature specification workflow from a short project description, removing manual orchestration of spec initialization, requirements, design, and task creation so teams can move from idea to implementation faster.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic and Interactive Modes: Run a fully automated end-to-end spec generation or step through phases with user approval.
  • Four-Phase Workflow: Initializes a spec directory, generates requirements, produces design artifacts, and creates implementation tasks, then runs a final sanity review.
  • Discovery & Templates Integration: Reads .kiro/specs/{feature}/brief.md when present and populates files from repository templates, ensuring consistent outputs.
  • Tooling Integration: Invokes other kiro skills for requirements, design, and tasks generation and supports host subagents for reviews.
  • Use Case: Rapidly create specs for small-to-medium product features such as a user profile upload, payment flow, or notification feature.

Quick Start

Run the kiro-spec-quick skill with a short feature description and optional --auto flag to generate a spec automatically, for example: kiro-spec-quick User profile with avatar upload --auto

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate project specifications from a short feature description?▼

To generate project specifications, provide a brief feature description to automatically initialize spec directories, produce requirements, create design artifacts, and generate implementation tasks through a structured four-phase workflow.

Can I automate requirement generation and design artifact creation for spec-driven development?▼

Yes, requirement generation and design artifact creation can be fully automated using an --auto flag, or you can step through each phase interactatively with user approval checkpoints before proceeding.

What is the best way to initialize specs for small-to-medium product features like a payment flow?▼

The best way to initialize specs for small-to-medium features is running an automated phase orchestration that reads brief.md files, applies repository templates, and concludes with an automated sanity review.

Does spec generation integrate with existing .kiro/specs brief.md files and repository templates?▼

Yes, spec generation integrates with .kiro/specs by reading existing brief.md files for feature discovery and populates output files from repository templates to ensure consistent specification formats.

How does the four-phase spec generation workflow process feature requirements?▼

The four-phase workflow processes feature requirements by initializing a spec directory, generating requirements, producing design artifacts, creating implementation tasks, and finally running an automated sanity review.

What are the limitations of automated spec generation for complex features?▼

Automated spec generation is optimized for small-to-medium product features; complex, large-scale systems may require manual orchestration beyond the automated phase generation and template-based file creation capabilities.
