Do I need the Spec-Kit CLI installed to use this skill?

No, this skill provides the full SDD methodology and workflow within Claude Code even without the standalone CLI tool.

What is Specification-Driven Development (SDD)?

SDD is a methodology where specifications are the primary artifacts used to guide and generate functional implementations, ensuring code is always an expression of defined requirements.

How does the 'Test-First' article affect development?

It makes writing failing tests non-negotiable before implementation, ensuring all code is verified against requirements from the moment it is written.

What are the core artifacts generated by Spec-Kit?

The workflow generates four key Markdown files: constitution.md (principles), spec.md (requirements), plan.md (technical strategy), and tasks.md (executable steps).

Productivity & Workflow

Implements the GitHub spec-kit methodology to transform specifications into executable code through structured planning and test-driven development.

About

Spec-Kit is a comprehensive implementation of GitHub's Specification-Driven Development (SDD) methodology designed for Claude Code. It guides developers through a rigorous 7-phase workflow—from establishing core project principles (Constitution) and defining functional requirements (Specification) to technical planning and task decomposition. By prioritizing specifications and enforcing a non-negotiable test-first implementation strategy, this skill ensures that code remains a direct, high-quality expression of well-defined requirements while significantly reducing architectural ambiguity.

Key Features

Complete 7-phase SDD workflow (Constitution to Implementation)
Automated task decomposition with parallel execution mapping
Standardized ambiguity resolution through structured clarification
Enforcement of 'Test-First' (Article III) development principles
Template-driven generation of spec.md and plan.md artifacts
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Aligning technical implementation with business requirements through formal specifications.
Bootstrapping new projects with clear architectural principles and governing constitutions.
Decomposing complex feature requests into actionable, sequential task lists.
