How does this skill use existing documentation?

The skill reads your project's high-level architecture files to extract purpose, boundaries, and dependencies, ensuring the new spec remains consistent with the broader system design.

Do I need to know every detail before starting?

No. The skill includes an interrogation phase that asks targeted questions about behavior and edge cases to help you define requirements you might have initially overlooked.

What format is the final specification?

It generates a structured Markdown file saved to a local /specs directory, featuring tables for data models, Mermaid code for diagrams, and numbered requirements.

Does it support testing criteria?

Yes, it specifically enforces a checklist that includes Given/When/Then acceptance criteria for every functional requirement to facilitate test-driven development.

学习与文档

Generates detailed technical specifications by extracting and refining requirements from high-level architecture documents.

This skill bridges the gap between high-level system overviews and low-level implementation by creating thorough, standalone component specifications. It parses existing architectural documentation to establish context, then uses a systematic interrogation process to uncover missing details regarding interfaces, failure modes, and performance metrics. The result is a standardized Markdown specification featuring Mermaid diagrams, numbered requirements, and Given/When/Then acceptance criteria, ensuring developers have everything they need to begin implementation with confidence.
