# Create a New Specification
Feature name: $ARGUMENTS
## Task
1. Ask the user which type of specification to create:
- **Feature**: New feature (use `docs/specs/templates/FEATURE.md`)
- **Enhancement**: Improvement to existing feature (use `docs/specs/templates/ENHANCEMENT.md`)
- **Fix**: Bug fix (use `docs/specs/templates/FIX.md`)
- **Refactor**: Code refactoring (use `docs/specs/templates/REFACTOR.md`)
2. Create a branch based on the spec type:
- Feature/Enhancement: `feature/<name>`
- Fix: `fix/<name>`
- Refactor: `refactor/<name>`
3. Create spec directory and files:
- Directory: `docs/specs/yyyymmdd-[type]-name/`
- `yyyymmdd`: Date (e.g., `20251204`)
- `[type]`: `feat` | `enhance` | `fix` | `refact`
- `name`: Kebab-case name (e.g., `spotify-adapter`)
- Create `spec.md` based on the selected template
- Create `progress.json` with all requirements set to `passes: false`
4. Work with the user to fill in the spec.md sections
5. After spec.md is complete, generate progress.json:
```json
{
"phase": "spec",
"lastUpdated": "<today>",
"requirements": [
{ "id": "FR-001", "passes": false },
{ "id": "FR-002", "passes": false }
],
"blockers": [],
"notes": ""
}
- Extract all requirement IDs from spec.md (FR-, NFR-, TR-*)
- Set all
passestofalse
Run spec-reviewer to validate the specification:
- Launch spec-reviewer agent with the spec name
- Review the output with the user
- If "Needs revision": work with user to fix issues, then re-run spec-reviewer
- Repeat until spec-reviewer returns "Ready for implementation"
Create initial commit:
git add docs/specs/<spec-name>/ git commit -m "docs(<spec-name>): add specification"
Guidelines
- Write specifications clearly and specifically
- Avoid ambiguous expressions; detail to an implementable level
- Include TypeScript type definitions
- Consider edge cases
- Ensure all requirements have unique IDs for progress tracking
