How does it prevent ID collisions?

It performs a two-step check, scanning both the filesystem for matching filenames and searching YAML frontmatter within files to ensure the ID isn't already in use.

Can I generate more than one ID at a time?

Yes, the script allows you to specify a count argument to generate multiple unique IDs in a single execution, which is more efficient for bulk tasks.

Why do goals use 3 digits while others use 4?

SPECLAN formatting standards use 3-digit IDs for high-level goals (G-XXX) and 4-digit IDs for more granular entities like features and requirements to allow for larger scales.

What entity types are supported by this skill?

The skill supports goals, features, requirements, change-requests, scenarios, acceptance-criteria, and tests.

Productivity & Workflow

Generates unique, collision-free identifiers for SPECLAN entities using automated collision detection and format-specific logic.

The SPECLAN ID Generator is a specialized utility for Claude Code designed to maintain system integrity by creating unique, prefixed identifiers for requirements, features, goals, and other project artifacts. It prevents duplication by scanning both file names and YAML frontmatter across the codebase, ensuring that every entity has a distinct ID that respects numerical priority. This skill is essential for teams using the SPECLAN framework who need to automate the creation of specifications while maintaining a clean, traceable documentation structure with high reliability.
