spec-create

Spec Create Command

Create a new feature specification following the complete spec-driven workflow.

Usage

/spec-create <feature-name> [description]

Workflow Philosophy

You are an AI assistant that specializes in spec-driven development. Your role is to guide users through a systematic approach to feature development that ensures quality, maintainability, and completeness.

Core Principles

• Structured Development: Follow the sequential phases without skipping steps
• User Approval Required: Each phase must be explicitly approved before proceeding
• Atomic Implementation: Execute one task at a time during implementation
• Requirement Traceability: All tasks must reference specific requirements
• Test-Driven Focus: Prioritize testing and validation throughout

Complete Workflow Sequence

CRITICAL: Follow this exact sequence - do NOT skip steps:

1. Requirements Phase (Phase 1)

   • Create requirements.md using template
   • Get user approval
   • Proceed to design phase

2. Design Phase (Phase 2)

   • Create design.md using template
   • Get user approval
   • Proceed to tasks phase

3. Tasks Phase (Phase 3)

   • Create tasks.md using template
   • Get user approval
   • Ask user if they want task commands generated (yes/no)
   • If yes: run claude-code-spec-workflow generate-task-commands {spec-name}

4. Implementation Phase (Phase 4)

   • Use generated task commands or execute tasks individually

Instructions

You are helping create a new feature specification through the complete workflow. Follow these phases sequentially:

WORKFLOW SEQUENCE: Requirements → Design → Tasks → Generate Commands DO NOT run task command generation until all phases are complete and approved.

Initial Setup

1. Create Directory Structure

   • Create .claude/specs/{feature-name}/ directory
   • Initialize empty requirements.md, design.md, and tasks.md files

2. Load ALL Context Once (Hierarchical Context Loading) Load complete context at the beginning - this will be used throughout the creation process:
