What does the workflow:build-spec skill do?

It automates the process of starting a new feature by creating a git worktree, generating an implementation plan, and launching an autonomous AI agent loop to begin coding.

Where should I store my feature specifications?

The skill looks for feature specifications in the specs/ directory of your project, formatted as markdown files.

Why does it use git worktrees?

Git worktrees allow you to work on multiple features simultaneously in isolated directories without having to stash changes or switch branches in your main project folder.

Does this skill require tmux?

Yes, the skill is designed to launch the autonomous agent loop in a new tmux pane, which keeps the process running in the background and prevents it from exiting prematurely.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates the entire setup for autonomous feature development by automating worktree creation, planning, and agent initialization.

The workflow:build-spec skill is designed to bridge the gap between a feature specification and active development. It automates the complex overhead of setting up isolated environments by creating dedicated git worktrees, generating comprehensive implementation plans from markdown specs, and configuring the agent-loop environment. By launching the final execution in a separate tmux pane, it allows developers to initiate autonomous coding tasks without blocking their primary terminal or polluting their main working directory.
