Why does the tool avoid code examples in specs?

The principle is to focus on the 'what' and 'why' rather than the 'how'. Keeping code minimal in specs prevents the AI from being biased by potentially incorrect implementation details during the planning phase.

Where are the specification files stored?

All files are organized within the specs/ directory of your project, categorized by scope (e.g., specs/feat/, specs/fix/) for easy navigation.

What is Spec-Driven Development (SDD)?

SDD is a workflow where you define the desired state and requirements in a specification file before writing any code, ensuring the AI has clear instructions and a blueprint to follow.

Can it prevent duplicate specifications?

Yes, the tool automatically searches existing specs in the relevant scope and prompts the user to update an existing file or cancel if a similar task is found.

How does Spec Manager handle different task types?

It uses specific templates for features, bug fixes, documentation, refactoring, and chores, each utilizing structured XML tags appropriate for that specific scope.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Streamlines spec-driven development by managing structured specification files across feature, fix, documentation, and refactoring scopes.

Acerca de

Spec Manager is a specialized workflow tool designed to implement spec-driven development (SDD) within Claude Code. It automates the lifecycle of technical specifications—creation, updating, and deletion—ensuring that every task has a clear, structured definition before implementation begins. By enforcing a focus on the final desired state and using scope-specific XML templates, it prevents scope creep, avoids duplicate work, and maintains a clean directory of project requirements that Claude can reference for high-accuracy coding and architectural consistency.
