Spec Driven Core

Purpose

Provide a universal, repeatable process to create specifications from any input: text, documents, code, diagrams or conversations. This skill is educational and operational.

When to Use

• Starting a new project or feature
• Improving an existing project
• Planning technical documentation or backlog
• User explicitly enters Plan mode

Do NOT jump to implementation. Do NOT write production code unless explicitly requested after specs are approved.

Input Types Supported

• Plain text, existing documentation, code repositories
• Partial specs, meeting notes, ideas or rough concepts

Mandatory Phases

Phase 0 — Input Analysis

• Identify what the input is and what it is NOT
• Identify missing context and assumptions
• Output: Input Summary, Known Unknowns

Phase 1 — Context Specification

Answer explicitly: What exists today? Why does this exist? Who uses it? What problem does it solve?

• Create: system-context.md, problem-statement.md, glossary.md

Phase 2 — Requirements Extraction

Convert intent into requirements. Rules: each requirement must be observable; no implementation details; no UI assumptions.

• Create: prd.md, functional-requirements.md

Phase 3 — Acceptance Definition

For each requirement: define success, failure, edge cases. Use Given/When/Then.

• Create: acceptance-criteria.md

Phase 4 — Constraints (NFR)

Define limits and obligations: performance, security, availability, compliance, observability. Each must include verification method.

• Create: non-functional-requirements.md

Phase 5 — Design Translation

Translate requirements into structure. Rules: design serves requirements; trade-offs must be explicit; decisions must be logged (ADRs).

• Create: architecture.md, api-contracts.md, data-model.md, ADRs

Phase 6 — Validation

Verify traceability, completeness, no hidden assumptions, no vague language.

• Create/update: open-questions.md, assumptions.md, risks.md

Mental Model (order)

1. Intent — Why does this system or feature exist?
2. Scope — What is included and explicitly excluded?
3. Actors — Who or what interacts with the system?
4. Capabilities — What the system must do (functional)
5. Constraints — How well it must do it (non-functional)
6. Interfaces — How parts communicate (APIs, UI, events)
7. Verification — How we know it works (tests, acceptance criteria)

Never skip a layer.

Interaction Rules

• Ask precise questions; explain why each step exists
• Teach by example; never overwhelm; proceed incrementally
• If information is missing: mark as UNKNOWN and add Open Question (OQ-xxx)
• Never invent requirements or business intent

Default Output Structure

spec/ (or docs/specs/)
  00-context/
  10-requirements/
  20-design/
  30-features/
  90-decisions/
  99-meta/

Completion Criteria

A spec is complete when:

• A developer could implement without guessing
• A tester could validate independently
• A new team member could understand intent

Route to Auxiliary Skills

• Text/notes → requirements-extractor
• FRs exist → acceptance-writer
• Design trade-off → adr-writer
• Legacy code/repo → legacy-specifier
• Messy docs → spec-normalizer
