What is Spec-Driven Development (SDD)?

SDD is a methodology that focuses on defining precise specifications and acceptance criteria before implementation to ensure code meets business requirements and is easily testable.

Is this skill compatible with standard project management tools?

While it includes specific CLI commands for flowspec, the logic and task structures it generates follow industry best practices compatible with Jira, GitHub Issues, and Linear.

How does the PM Planner ensure task atomicity?

The skill applies the 'Single PR' rule, ensuring that every task generated is small enough to be completed in one pull request and carries no dependencies on future, uncompleted work.

Can I use this skill to audit my existing tasks?

Yes, you can invoke the skill to review existing backlog items for quality, checking if they follow the imperative mood, contain clear 'why' descriptions, and have measurable success criteria.
