specification-generation
Convert requirements into structured technical specifications with architecture decisions
Best use case
specification-generation is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Convert requirements into structured technical specifications with architecture decisions
Teams using specification-generation should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Specification Generation ## Capabilities Transforms requirements from PM interviews into structured technical specifications. Includes technology stack selection, system architecture, data models, API contracts, and architecture decision records (ADRs). ## Tool Use Instructions - Use **Read** to examine requirements documents and existing specs - Use **Grep/Glob** to find related architectural patterns in the codebase - Use **Write** to generate the technical specification document - Use **Edit** to refine specs based on Architect feedback ## Process Integration - Used in `maestro-orchestrator.js` Phase 2-3 (Architect Review, Tech Spec) - Maps to tasks: `maestro-pm-spec-generation`, `maestro-architect-tech-spec` - Agents: Product Manager (requirements spec), Architect (technical spec) - Iterates with Architect feedback loop until approved - Outputs feed into `story-decomposition` skill
