What is the relationship between this skill and gwt-spec-ops?

GWT Spec Register handles the initial creation and seeding, then normally passes control to gwt-spec-ops for ongoing orchestration and management.

What artifacts are included in the initial spec registration?

It creates a comprehensive artifact index in the issue body and seeds an initial spec.md comment containing user stories and acceptance scenarios.

Does this skill check for existing specifications before creating new ones?

Yes, it performs a mandatory preflight search using semantic queries to ensure no canonical specification already exists for the scope.

Can I use this for general task tracking?

While it creates issues, it is specifically optimized for 'gwt-spec' labeled issues that require structured documentation and artifact indexing.

How does it handle GitHub API rate limits?

If the standard GitHub CLI hits secondary rate limits, the skill automatically falls back to using GitHub REST API endpoints to ensure the workflow continues.

Collaboration Tools

Streamlines the creation of GitHub-based specification containers with automated artifact indexing and initial requirement seeding.

GWT Spec Register is a specialized tool for Claude Code designed to maintain a structured development workflow by initializing specification containers within GitHub Issues. It enforces a search-before-create policy to prevent duplication, automatically generates a comprehensive artifact index, and seeds a foundational spec.md document. By standardizing how new features are documented and tracked from the start, it ensures seamless handoff to downstream orchestration tasks, making it essential for teams practicing specification-driven development.
