Specification generator - 6 phase document chain producing product brief, PRD, architecture, and epics. Triggers on "generate spec", "create specification", "spec generator", "workflow:spec".
npx skill4agent add catlog22/claude-code-workflow spec-generatorPhase 0: Specification Study (Read specs/ + templates/ - mandatory prerequisite)
|
Phase 1: Discovery -> spec-config.json + discovery-context.json
|
Phase 2: Product Brief -> product-brief.md (multi-CLI parallel analysis)
|
Phase 3: Requirements (PRD) -> requirements/ (_index.md + REQ-*.md + NFR-*.md)
|
Phase 4: Architecture -> architecture/ (_index.md + ADR-*.md, multi-CLI review)
|
Phase 5: Epics & Stories -> epics/ (_index.md + EPIC-*.md)
|
Phase 6: Readiness Check -> readiness-report.md + spec-summary.md

Handoff to execution workflows-yspec-config.json-cDo NOT skip: Before performing any operations, you must completely read the following documents. Proceeding without reading the specifications will result in outputs that do not meet quality standards.
| Document | Purpose | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| specs/document-standards.md | Document format, frontmatter, naming conventions | P0 - Must read before execution |
| specs/quality-gates.md | Per-phase quality gate criteria and scoring | P0 - Must read before execution |
| Document | Purpose |
|---|---|
| templates/product-brief.md | Product brief document template |
| templates/requirements-prd.md | PRD document template |
| templates/architecture-doc.md | Architecture document template |
| templates/epics-template.md | Epic/Story document template |
Input Parsing:
|- Parse $ARGUMENTS: extract idea/topic, flags (-y, -c, -m)
|- Detect mode: new | continue
|- If continue: read spec-config.json, resume from first incomplete phase
|- If new: proceed to Phase 1
Phase 1: Discovery & Seed Analysis
|- Ref: phases/01-discovery.md
|- Generate session ID: SPEC-{slug}-{YYYY-MM-DD}
|- Parse input (text or file reference)
|- Gemini CLI seed analysis (problem, users, domain, dimensions)
|- Codebase exploration (conditional, if project detected)
|- User confirmation (interactive, -y skips)
|- Output: spec-config.json, discovery-context.json (optional)
Phase 2: Product Brief
|- Ref: phases/02-product-brief.md
|- 3 parallel CLI analyses: Product (Gemini) + Technical (Codex) + User (Claude)
|- Synthesize perspectives: convergent themes + conflicts
|- Interactive refinement (-y skips)
|- Output: product-brief.md (from template)
Phase 3: Requirements / PRD
|- Ref: phases/03-requirements.md
|- Gemini CLI: expand goals into functional + non-functional requirements
|- Generate acceptance criteria per requirement
|- User priority sorting: MoSCoW (interactive, -y auto-assigns)
|- Output: requirements/ directory (_index.md + REQ-*.md + NFR-*.md, from template)
Phase 4: Architecture
|- Ref: phases/04-architecture.md
|- Gemini CLI: core components, tech stack, ADRs
|- Codebase integration mapping (conditional)
|- Codex CLI: architecture challenge + review
|- Interactive ADR decisions (-y auto-accepts)
|- Output: architecture/ directory (_index.md + ADR-*.md, from template)
Phase 5: Epics & Stories
|- Ref: phases/05-epics-stories.md
|- Gemini CLI: requirement grouping into Epics, MVP subset tagging
|- Story generation: As a...I want...So that...
|- Dependency mapping (Mermaid)
|- Interactive validation (-y skips)
|- Output: epics/ directory (_index.md + EPIC-*.md, from template)
Phase 6: Readiness Check
|- Ref: phases/06-readiness-check.md
|- Cross-document validation (completeness, consistency, traceability)
|- Quality scoring per dimension
|- Output: readiness-report.md, spec-summary.md
|- Handoff options: lite-plan, req-plan, plan, issue:new, export only, iterate
Complete: Full specification package ready for execution
Phase 6 → Handoff Bridge (conditional, based on user selection):
├─ lite-plan: Extract first MVP Epic description → direct text input
├─ plan / req-plan: Create WFS session + .brainstorming/ bridge files
│ ├─ guidance-specification.md (synthesized from spec outputs)
│ ├─ feature-specs/feature-index.json (Epic → Feature mapping)
│ └─ feature-specs/F-{num}-{slug}.md (one per Epic)
├─ issue:new: Create issues per Epic
└─ context-search-agent auto-discovers .brainstorming/
→ context-package.json.brainstorm_artifacts populated
→ action-planning-agent consumes: guidance_spec (P1) → feature_index (P2)// Session ID generation
const slug = topic.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9\u4e00-\u9fff]+/g, '-').slice(0, 40);
const date = new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 10);
const sessionId = `SPEC-${slug}-${date}`;
const workDir = `.workflow/.spec/${sessionId}`;
Bash(`mkdir -p "${workDir}"`);.workflow/.spec/SPEC-{slug}-{YYYY-MM-DD}/
