Specification Creation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents starting development without a clear, technology-agnostic understanding of what to build and why, which often leads to scope creep, rework, and misaligned outcomes. It ensures every feature begins with a solid, user-centric foundation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Pre-Specification Quality Gate: Assesses user input for clarity, value, and completeness before creating the specification, preventing wasted effort.
• Intelligence-First Contextualization: Queries the codebase to identify existing patterns and architectural context, ensuring new features align with the project.
• Automated Workflow Progression: After creating a clear spec.md, it automatically triggers the entire planning workflow (/plan → generate-tasks → /audit), delivering an implementation-ready task breakdown.
• Use Case: You have a new feature idea. Instead of jumping straight to code, use this Skill to generate a comprehensive spec.md with problem statements, user stories, and success criteria. The Skill then automatically handles all subsequent planning, task generation, and auditing, leaving you with an /implement-ready plan.

Quick Start

To define a new feature and kickstart the entire SDD workflow:

Provide a clear description of what you want to build.

Then, simply invoke the skill:

/feature "I want to build a user authentication system with social login options."
