What happens if an agent fails a task?

Spec Architect uses an ITERATE workflow to assess failures, refine specifications if necessary, and route the task back to the appropriate phase for correction.

What is a spec-driven workflow?

It is a methodology where features are fully defined in markdown specifications (Feature and Tech specs) before any code is written, ensuring alignment and reducing technical debt.

How does Spec Architect manage different agents?

It uses the Task tool and a structured communication protocol to hand off context, inputs, and responsibilities to specialized agents like developers, reviewers, and testers.

Can I customize the agents used by Spec Architect?

Yes, the skill supports core agents, supporting research agents, and custom repository-specific agents to leverage domain-specific expertise.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates multi-agent software development cycles through structured specification-driven workflows and rigorous verification phases.

Spec Architect transforms Claude Code into a high-level project coordinator that manages specialized AI agents through the entire software development lifecycle. By utilizing a standardized spec-driven methodology (PLAN, BUILD, and ITERATE), it ensures that requirements are translated into technical specifications before implementation begins. The skill enforces best practices like type safety and pattern consistency, delegating tasks to dedicated developers, reviewers, and testers while maintaining a clear audit trail and structured project state.
