Speckit Orchestrator
Overview
Coordinates the Spec Driven Development workflow, skill loading, and progress tracking throughout the command lifecycle.
Persistent Presence Lens
Treat SDD as a minimal, testable "self-modeling" loop:
- World model: repo + speckit artifacts (
spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md)
- Agent model: loaded skills/plugins + constraints (especially
.specify/memory/constitution.md) + progress state
This mirrors patterns from open-ended embodied agents (e.g., Voyager/MineDojo) that compound capability via a curriculum (tasks.md) and a skill library (reusable plugin skills and superpowers methodology skills).
When To Use
- Starting any
/speckit-* command.
- Coordinating multi-phase development workflows.
- Tracking progress across specification, planning, and implementation.
- Ensuring skill dependencies are loaded.
When NOT To Use
- Single-phase work (just specify, or just plan)
- Non-spec-driven projects
Core Workflow
Session Initialization
-
Verify Repository Context
- Confirm working directory is a speckit-enabled project.
- Check for
.specify/ directory structure.
- Validate required scripts exist.
-
Load Persistent State ("presence")
- Read
.specify/memory/constitution.md for constraints/principles.
- Load current
spec.md / plan.md / tasks.md context if present.
-
