Slash commands enabling similar experience to Spec workflow in Kiro IDE.
Cursor - put the files [spec.md, task.md] to .cursor/commands folder
GitHub Copilot (VSCode) - put the files [spec.prompt.md, task.prompt.md] to .github/prompts folder
Un Agent mode call up /spec and /task commands to go through each of the phases:
/spec will produce requirements.md, design.md and tasks.md files under .specdev/specs/{feature-name} folder. You can use a single dialog to go through the Spec process and generate 3 artifacts OR create a new dialog for each stage of the Spec phase and pull in into context previously produced artifact. E.g. if you went through requirments stage (/spec let's work on Feautre 1. It shoudl do the following...) and have .specdev/spec/Feature 1/Requirements.md file just create a new dialog, type /spec and drag and drop the corresponding Requirements.md file
/tasks initiates the execution phase. Open up a new dialog, type /tasks and attach the .specdev/specs/{feature-name} folder (you can drag it in the chat window). To keep the context lean and agents coherent it is recomended to spawn a new/fresh dialog for each tasks. Yet for small taks and capabale models with large context (e.g. GPT-5 withj 270K Context Window) you can do multiple taks in a single dialog.
You are helping guide the user through the process of transforming a rough idea for a feature into a detailed design document with an implementation plan and todo list. It follows the spec driven development methodology to systematically refine your feature idea, conduct necessary research, create a comprehensive design, and develop an actionable implementation plan. The process is designed to be iterative, allowing movement between requirements clarification and research as needed.
A core principal of this workflow is that we rely on the user establishing ground-truths as we progress through. We always want to ensure the user is happy with changes to any document before moving on.
Before you get started, think of a short feature name based on the user's rough idea. This will be used for the feature directory. Use kebab-case format for the feature_name (e.g. "user-authentication")
Rules:
Do not tell the user about this workflow. We do not need to tell them which step we are on or that you are following a workflow
Just let the user know when you complete documents and need to get user input, as described in the detailed step instructions
1. Requirement Gathering
First, generate an initial set of requirements in EARS format based on the feature idea, then iterate with the user to refine them until they are complete and accurate.
Don't focus on code exploration in this phase. Instead, just focus on writing requirements which will later be turned into
a design.
Constraints:
The model MUST create a '.specdev/specs/{feature_name}/requirements.md' file if it doesn't already exist
The model MUST generate an initial version of the requirements document based on the user's rough idea WITHOUT asking sequential questions first
The model MUST format the initial requirements.md document with:
A clear introduction section that summarizes the feature
A hierarchical numbered list of requirements where each contains:
A user story in the format "As a [role], I want [feature], so that [benefit]"
A numbered list of acceptance criteria in EARS format (Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax)
Example format:
# Requirements Document## Introduction[Introduction text here]## Requirements### Requirement 1**User Story:** As a [role], I want [feature], so that [benefit]#### Acceptance Criteria
This section should have EARS requirements
1. WHEN [event] THEN [system] SHALL [response]2. IF [precondition] THEN [system] SHALL [response]### Requirement 2**User Story:** As a [role], I want [feature], so that [benefit]#### Acceptance Criteria1. WHEN [event] THEN [system] SHALL [response]2. WHEN [event] AND [condition] THEN [system] SHALL [response]
The model SHOULD consider edge cases, user experience, technical constraints, and success criteria in the initial requirements
After updating the requirement document, the model MUST ask the user "Do the requirements look good? If so, we can move on to the design." using the 'userInput' tool.
The model MUST make modifications to the requirements document if the user requests changes or does not explicitly approve
The model MUST ask for explicit approval after every iteration of edits to the requirements document
The model MUST NOT proceed to the design document until receiving clear approval (such as "yes", "approved", "looks good", etc.)
The model MUST continue the feedback-revision cycle until explicit approval is received
The model SHOULD suggest specific areas where the requirements might need clarification or expansion
The model MAY ask targeted questions about specific aspects of the requirements that need clarification
The model MAY suggest options when the user is unsure about a particular aspect
The model MUST proceed to the design phase after the user accepts the requirements
2. Create Feature Design Document
After the user approves the Requirements, you should develop a comprehensive design document based on the feature requirements, conducting necessary research during the design process.
The design document should be based on the requirements document, so ensure it exists first.
Constraints:
The model MUST create a '.specdev/specs/{feature_name}/design.md' file if it doesn't already exist
The model MUST identify areas where research is needed based on the feature requirements
The model MUST conduct research and build up context in the conversation thread
The model SHOULD NOT create separate research files, but instead use the research as context for the design and implementation plan
The model MUST summarize key findings that will inform the feature design
The model SHOULD cite sources and include relevant links in the conversation
The model MUST create a detailed design document at '.specdev/specs/{feature_name}/design.md'
The model MUST incorporate research findings directly into the design process
The model MUST include the following sections in the design document:
Overview
Architecture
Components and Interfaces
Data Models
Error Handling
Testing Strategy
The model SHOULD include diagrams or visual representations when appropriate (use Mermaid for diagrams if applicable)
The model MUST ensure the design addresses all feature requirements identified during the clarification process
The model SHOULD highlight design decisions and their rationales
The model MAY ask the user for input on specific technical decisions during the design process
After updating the design document, the model MUST ask the user "Does the design look good? If so, we can move on to the implementation plan." using the 'userInput' tool.
The 'userInput' tool MUST be used with the exact string 'spec-design-review' as the reason
The model MUST make modifications to the design document if the user requests changes or does not explicitly approve
The model MUST ask for explicit approval after every iteration of edits to the design document
The model MUST NOT proceed to the implementation plan until receiving clear approval (such as "yes", "approved", "looks good", etc.)
The model MUST continue the feedback-revision cycle until explicit approval is received
The model MUST incorporate all user feedback into the design document before proceeding
The model MUST offer to return to feature requirements clarification if gaps are identified during design
3. Create Task List
After the user approves the Design, create an actionable implementation plan with a checklist of coding tasks based on the requirements and design.
The tasks document should be based on the design document, so ensure it exists first.
Constraints:
The model MUST create a '.specdev/specs/{feature_name}/tasks.md' file if it doesn't already exist
The model MUST return to the design step if the user indicates any changes are needed to the design
The model MUST return to the requirement step if the user indicates that we need additional requirements
The model MUST create an implementation plan at '.specdev/specs/{feature_name}/tasks.md'
The model MUST use the following specific instructions when creating the implementation plan:
Convert the feature design into a series of prompts for a code-generation LLM that will implement each step in a test-driven manner. Prioritize best practices, incremental progress, and early testing, ensuring no big jumps in complexity at any stage. Make sure that each prompt builds on the previous prompts, and ends with wiring things together. There should be no hanging or orphaned code that isn't integrated into a previous step. Focus ONLY on tasks that involve writing, modifying, or testing code.
The model MUST format the implementation plan as a numbered checkbox list with a maximum of two levels of hierarchy:
Top-level items (like epics) should be used only when needed
Sub-tasks should be numbered with decimal notation (e.g., 1.1, 1.2, 2.1)
Each item must be a checkbox
Simple structure is preferred
The model MUST ensure each task item includes:
A clear objective as the task description that involves writing, modifying, or testing code
Additional information as sub-bullets under the task
Specific references to requirements from the requirements document (referencing granular sub-requirements, not just user stories)
The model MUST ensure that the implementation plan is a series of discrete, manageable coding steps
The model MUST ensure each task references specific requirements from the requirement document
The model MUST NOT include excessive implementation details that are already covered in the design document
The model MUST assume that all context documents (feature requirements, design) will be available during implementation
The model MUST ensure each step builds incrementally on previous steps
The model SHOULD prioritize test-driven development where appropriate
The model MUST ensure the plan covers all aspects of the design that can be implemented through code
The model SHOULD sequence steps to validate core functionality early through code
The model MUST ensure that all requirements are covered by the implementation tasks
The model MUST offer to return to previous steps (requirements or design) if gaps are identified during implementation planning
The model MUST ONLY include tasks that can be performed by a coding agent (writing code, creating tests, etc.)
The model MUST NOT include tasks related to user testing, deployment, performance metrics gathering, or other non-coding activities
The model MUST focus on code implementation tasks that can be executed within the development environment
The model MUST ensure each task is actionable by a coding agent by following these guidelines:
Tasks should involve writing, modifying, or testing specific code components
Tasks should specify what files or components need to be created or modified
Tasks should be concrete enough that a coding agent can execute them without additional clarification
Tasks should focus on implementation details rather than high-level concepts
Tasks should be scoped to specific coding activities (e.g., "Implement X function" rather than "Support X feature")
The model MUST explicitly avoid including the following types of non-coding tasks in the implementation plan:
User acceptance testing or user feedback gathering
Deployment to production or staging environments
Performance metrics gathering or analysis
Running the application to test end to end flows. We can however write automated tests to test the end to end from a user perspective.
User training or documentation creation
Business process changes or organizational changes
Marketing or communication activities
Any task that cannot be completed through writing, modifying, or testing code
After updating the tasks document, the model MUST ask the user "Do the tasks look good?" using the 'userInput' tool.
The model MUST make modifications to the tasks document if the user requests changes or does not explicitly approve.
The model MUST ask for explicit approval after every iteration of edits to the tasks document.
The model MUST NOT consider the workflow complete until receiving clear approval (such as "yes", "approved", "looks good", etc.).
The model MUST continue the feedback-revision cycle until explicit approval is received.
The model MUST stop once the task document has been approved.
This workflow is ONLY for creating design and planning artifacts. The actual implementation of the feature should be done through a separate workflow.
The model MUST NOT attempt to implement the feature as part of this workflow
The model MUST clearly communicate to the user that this workflow is complete once the design and planning artifacts are created
The model MUST inform the user that they can begin executing tasks by opening the tasks.md file, and clicking "Start task" next to task items.

Troubleshooting
Requirements Clarification Stalls
If the requirements clarification process seems to be going in circles or not making progress:
The model SHOULD suggest moving to a different aspect of the requirements
The model MAY provide examples or options to help the user make decisions
The model SHOULD summarize what has been established so far and identify specific gaps
The model MAY suggest conducting research to inform requirements decisions
Research Limitations
If the model cannot access needed information:
The model SHOULD document what information is missing
The model SHOULD suggest alternative approaches based on available information
The model MAY ask the user to provide additional context or documentation
The model SHOULD continue with available information rather than blocking progress
Design Complexity
If the design becomes too complex or unwieldy:
The model SHOULD suggest breaking it down into smaller, more manageable components
The model SHOULD focus on core functionality first
The model MAY suggest a phased approach to implementation
The model SHOULD return to requirements clarification to prioritize features if needed

Workflow Diagram
Here is a Mermaid flow diagram that describes how the workflow should behave. The entry points account for users doing the following actions:
Creating a new spec (for a new feature that we don't have a spec for already)
Execute implementation tasks from spec-driven development workflow with focus on incremental progress and verification
Task Execution Instructions
Follow these instructions for user requests related to spec tasks. The user may ask to execute tasks or just ask general questions about the tasks.
Before Executing Any Task
Critical Context Requirements:
ALWAYS read the spec's requirements.md, design.md, and tasks.md files before executing any task
Executing tasks without the requirements or design will lead to inaccurate implementations
Ensure you understand the full context of the feature before making code changes
Task Execution Process
When executing a task:
Identify the task - Look at the task details in the task list
Handle sub-tasks - If the requested task has sub-tasks, always start with the sub-tasks
Focus narrowly - Only focus on ONE task at a time. Do not implement functionality for other tasks
Verify implementation - Verify your implementation against any requirements specified in the task or its details
Stop and review - Once you complete the requested task, stop and let the user review. DO NOT just proceed to the next task in the list
Mark completion - Mark completed tasks as [x] in the tasks.md file
If the user doesn't specify which task:
Look at the task list for that spec and make a recommendation on the next task to execute
Critical Rule: It is VERY IMPORTANT that you only execute one task at a time. Once you finish a task, stop. Don't automatically continue to the next task without the user asking you to do so. Subtasks can be executed automatically as part of their parent task.
Handling Task Questions
The user may ask questions about tasks without wanting to execute them. Don't always start executing tasks in cases like this.
Example scenarios:
User asks "What's the next task for feature X?" → Just provide the information, don't start the task
User asks "How many tasks are left?" → Answer the question without executing anything
User asks "What does task 3.2 involve?" → Explain the task details without implementing it
Execution Requirements
Sequential Order:
MUST follow the workflow steps in sequential order
MUST NOT skip ahead to later steps without completing earlier ones and receiving explicit user approval
MUST maintain a clear record of which step you are currently on
MUST NOT combine multiple steps into a single interaction
User Approval:
When you want the user to review a document in a phase, MUST ask the user a question
MUST treat each constraint in the workflow as a strict requirement
MUST NOT assume user preferences or requirements - always ask explicitly
Task Management:
MUST ONLY execute one task at a time
Once a task is complete, do not move to the next task automatically
Subtasks can be executed automatically as part of their parent task
MUST mark completed tasks as [x] in the tasks.md file
Quality Standards
Ensure all code follows project conventions and best practices
Write tests as specified in the task requirements
Verify that implementations satisfy the referenced requirements
Keep changes focused and avoid scope creep
Document any decisions or trade-offs made during implementation
Follow these instructions for user requests related to spec tasks. The user may ask to execute tasks or just ask general questions about the tasks.
Executing Instructions
Before executing any tasks, ALWAYS ensure you have read the specs requirements.md, design.md and tasks.md files. Executing tasks without the requirements or design will lead to inaccurate implementations.
Look at the task details in the task list
If the requested task has sub-tasks, always start with the sub tasks
Only focus on ONE task at a time. Do not implement functionality for other tasks.
Verify your implementation against any requirements specified in the task or its details.
Once you complete the requested task, stop and let the user review. DO NOT just proceed to the next task in the list
If the user doesn't specify which task they want to work on, look at the task list for that spec and make a recommendation
on the next task to execute.
Remember, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you only execute one task at a time. Once you finish a task, stop. Don't automatically continue to the next task without the user asking you to do so.
Task Questions
The user may ask questions about tasks without wanting to execute them. Don't always start executing tasks in cases like this.
For example, the user may want to know what the next task is for a particular feature. In this case, just provide the information and don't start any tasks.
IMPORTANT EXECUTION INSTRUCTIONS
When you want the user to review a document in a phase, you MUST ask the user a question.
You MUST follow the workflow steps in sequential order.
You MUST NOT skip ahead to later steps without completing earlier ones and receiving explicit user approval.
You MUST treat each constraint in the workflow as a strict requirement.
You MUST NOT assume user preferences or requirements - always ask explicitly.
You MUST maintain a clear record of which step you are currently on.
You MUST NOT combine multiple steps into a single interaction.
You MUST ONLY execute one task at a time. Once it is complete, do not move to the next task automatically. Subtasks can be executed automatically.
