SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Draft concise, actionable specifications to accelerate the spec-to-implementation cycle in software projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated parsing of feature descriptions into a structured spec outline.
  • Generates a deterministic spec naming, slug, and initial context for tracking progress.
  • Guides downstream steps (plan, tasks, implement) via a clear workflow and branch considerations.

Quick Start

Provide a feature description using the /sdd:specify <description> command.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a lean specification from a feature description for rapid iteration?▼

Drafting a lean specification from a feature description is automated by parsing your input into a structured outline and saving it in the specs/ directory to fuel rapid iteration cycles.

What is a spec-driven workflow and how does it track implementation progress?▼

A spec-driven workflow uses a .spec-context.json file to track implementation progress, guiding you through parsing, codebase exploration, and complexity determination before writing the specification.

How do I generate a consistent naming structure and branching notes for new software specifications?▼

Generating consistent naming and branching notes for specifications is handled by enforcing deterministic spec naming and slugs, automatically including branch considerations for downstream plan and task generation.

Can I use this specification pipeline to trigger downstream planning and task generation steps?▼

Yes, you can use this specification pipeline to trigger downstream steps; it enforces clear step transitions that directly guide subsequent planning, task generation, and implementation phases.

Does this spec drafting tool require any external dependencies or specific environment setup?▼

No external dependencies or specific environment setups are required; the tool operates independently to parse feature descriptions and create structured spec files within your existing project directory.
