Can Spec research external documentation?

Yes, Spec can use web search tools to research framework documentation, security best practices, and external APIs to inform the technical design.

How does Spec handle existing codebases?

Spec performs local repository research to identify existing patterns, ensuring that new plans reuse existing logic and follow established project conventions.

What kind of documentation does Spec generate?

It generates structured Markdown plans in your repository, offering three levels of detail: Minimal for quick fixes, Standard for common features, and Comprehensive for major architectural changes.

Does the Spec skill write actual source code?

No, the Spec skill is strictly focused on research, planning, and task decomposition. It ensures a solid technical foundation is established before any implementation begins.

What is the 'Deepen' mode in the Spec skill?

Deepen mode allows you to take an existing plan and enhance it with further research and parallel analysis to address gaps or increase technical rigor.

生产力与工作流

Transforms high-level ideas into detailed, actionable technical specifications and task decompositions without writing code.

Spec is a sophisticated planning framework for Claude Code that bridges the gap between a raw feature idea and execution. It orchestrates multi-step research, evaluates architectural risks, and generates structured plan documents in Markdown, complete with ASCII architecture diagrams, test mappings, and failure mode analysis. By enforcing a 'planning before coding' philosophy, it ensures developers have a clear roadmap, identified dependencies, and a solid technical foundation before implementation begins, preventing architectural drift and scope creep.
