What files does this skill require?

It primarily relies on a .speclet/spec.json file for requirements and optionally updates .speclet/progress.md to track implementation history.

How does it handle errors during implementation?

If the skill fails to pass quality checks after three attempts, it will stop, document the attempts, and ask the user for manual guidance.

What is the Speclet Loop skill?

It is an autonomous iteration tool that allows Claude to read a specification file, implement a single feature or bug fix, verify the code, and commit it to your repository automatically.

Can it implement multiple stories at once?

No, it follows a strict 'one story per iteration' rule. This ensures that each commit is focused, code quality remains high, and the CI/CD pipeline stays green.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the software development lifecycle by implementing, testing, and committing individual user stories from a specification file.

The Speclet Loop skill provides a structured framework for autonomous software development. It enables Claude to execute a disciplined iteration cycle: reading requirements from a spec.json file, implementing the highest-priority task, running quality checks, and committing the changes. By focusing on one story at a time and maintaining strict adherence to codebase patterns, it ensures high-quality output, a clean git history, and up-to-date documentation without manual intervention.
