Spec Creation
Overview
Creates comprehensive feature specifications by first deeply researching the codebase, then generating structured specifications with requirements, acceptance criteria, architecture decisions, and phased implementation plans.
Research Phase
- Analyze project structure and module organization
- Identify existing patterns and conventions
- Map dependencies and integration points
- Review existing tests for testing patterns
- Document technical constraints
Specification Components
Scope and Non-Goals
Clear boundaries on what the feature does and does not include.
Functional Requirements
Detailed requirements with unique identifiers for tracking.
Acceptance Criteria
Testable, measurable criteria for each requirement.
Architecture Decisions
Decision records with rationale and alternatives considered.
Implementation Plan
Phased approach ordered by dependency, not priority.
Risk Analysis
Identified risks with probability, impact, and mitigation strategies.
API Contracts and Data Models
Interface definitions and data model schemas.
Test Strategy
Mapping of unit, integration, and E2E tests to requirements.
Output
Specifications are saved to docs/specs/{feature}.md for reference by the execution workflow.
When to Use
/spec:create [feature]slash command- Before starting a new feature implementation
- When planning complex multi-module changes
Processes Used By

gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
a5c-ai/babysitter
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
a5c-ai/babysitter
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
a5c-ai/babysitter
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
a5c-ai/babysitter
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
