How does this skill prevent scope creep?

By enforcing a citation gate, the skill prevents the generation of any document section that doesn't have an approved decision backing it, stopping undocumented features before they reach the backlog.

What happens if a requirement doesn't have a decision?

Claude will trigger the AskUserQuestion tool, prompting you to either skip the section, create a new decision, or link it to an existing decision in your ledger.

Does it integrate with risk management?

Yes, the skill automatically cross-references entries from your RISKS.yaml to ensure potential technical or business risks are acknowledged within the functional and technical specs.

What is a constrained spec?

A constrained spec is a document where every requirement or architectural choice must be explicitly linked to a predefined decision (DEC-*) in a ledger, ensuring no ungrounded features are added.

Can I use my own templates?

Yes, the skill is designed to work with local templates located in your project's reference folder, specifically for PRDs and architecture documents.

学習とドキュメンテーション

Generates PRD and architecture documents with mandatory decision-ledger citations to ensure 100% requirements traceability.

The Traceable Spec Generator skill for Claude Code transforms the technical writing process by enforcing a strict constraint: no specification content exists without a supporting decision. By requiring explicit 'DEC-*' references for every section and requirement in PRDs and architecture documents, it eliminates scope creep, ungrounded requirements, and hidden assumptions. This skill automates the cross-referencing of decisions and risks from your project's ledger, providing a validated, evidence-based foundation for implementation backlogs and ensuring that every technical choice is rooted in an agreed-upon decision.
