Skill: Spec Management
When to use this skill
- Before implementation: To analyze impact (
specs/features.md). - During architecture changes: To verify boundaries (
specs/modules.md). - When adding dependencies: To check constraints (
specs/architecture.md). - After major changes: To update the specs to reflect reality.
Available Specifications
| File | Specs Content |
|---|---|
specs/architecture.md |
Technical stack, communication patterns, data flow rules |
specs/features.md |
Feature list, dependencies, impact analysis matrix |
specs/modules.md |
Module boundaries, allowed/forbidden dependencies |
specs/README.md |
Index and general usage |
Workflow: Impact Analysis
Before writing code, answer these questions using specs/features.md:
- What am I modifying? (e.g., Risk Manager)
- Who depends on this? (e.g., Executor, UI)
- What constraints apply? (e.g., Decimal precision, Async)
Workflow: Updating Specs
If your code change modifies the system behavior (new flow, new module, new dependency), you MUST update the specs.
Checklist for Spec Update
- Does the architectural diagram in
specs/modules.mdneed update? - Did I add a new cross-cutting concern? Update
specs/features.md. - Did I change a communication pattern? Update
specs/architecture.md.
Integration with Implementation
The /implement workflow includes a check step. When in doubt:
- Read
specs/features.mdto see what you might break. - Implement your change.
- Verify that you respected
specs/modules.mdboundaries. - Update specs if you introduced something new.
