What should I do if my specs are flagged as stale?

The dashboard will recommend specific actions, such as running /spec to refine a draft or /build to resume a partial implementation that has stalled.

What does the Spec Dashboard track?

It tracks the health of your .specs/ directory, including implementation status, approval state, staleness, and unresolved AI decisions within spec packages.

Can I create new specs using this command?

No, this is a read-only auditing tool. To create new specs, you should use the /spec command provided by the spec-workflow plugin.

Does it check for project-level documentation?

Yes, the dashboard specifically checks for the existence and population of a CONSTITUTION.md and a BACKLOG.md within your .specs/ directory.

How is 'staleness' calculated?

Staleness is based on the spec's status; for example, draft specs are considered stale after 7 days, while partial builds are flagged after 14 days without updates.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Monitors the health and status of all spec packages within a project to ensure documentation and implementation alignment.

The Spec Dashboard skill provides a comprehensive overview of a project's specification health by scanning the .specs/ directory and parsing package frontmatter. It acts as a read-only auditing tool that identifies stale specs, unapproved drafts, unresolved AI decisions, and implementation progress. By providing a centralized view of technical requirements and their current state, it helps developers maintain an organized and up-to-date documentation workflow, ensuring that no feature request or architectural decision is forgotten or left in an ambiguous state.
