description: Generate FEATURE_TECHNICAL_SPEC.md through guided Q&A

allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Edit, AskUserQuestion, Glob, Grep

Generate a feature technical specification document for the feature $1.

Directory Guard

  1. •

    If START_PROMPTS.md or GENERATOR_PROMPT.md exists in the current working directory → STOP: "You're in the toolkit repo. Feature skills run from your project directory. Run: cd ~/Projects/your-project && /feature-technical-spec $1"

  2. •

    Check .claude/toolkit-version.json exists in the current working directory (confirms /setup was run). If missing → STOP: "Toolkit not installed. Run /setup from the toolkit first."

  3. •

    Check AGENTS.md exists in the current working directory (confirms project root). If missing → STOP: "Run this from your project root (where AGENTS.md lives)."

Arguments

  • •$1 = feature name (e.g., analytics, dark-mode)
  • •If $1 is empty, ask the user for the feature name
  • •PROJECT_ROOT = current working directory
  • •FEATURE_DIR = PROJECT_ROOT/features/$1

Prerequisites

  • •Check that FEATURE_DIR/FEATURE_SPEC.md exists. If not: "FEATURE_SPEC.md not found at features/$1/. Run /feature-spec $1 first."
  • •Check that PROJECT_ROOT/AGENTS.md exists (indicates an existing project). If not, warn: "AGENTS.md not found. Feature development assumes an existing project. Did you mean to run /product-spec for a new project?"

Existing File Guard (Prevent Overwrite)

Before asking any questions, check whether FEATURE_DIR/FEATURE_TECHNICAL_SPEC.md already exists.

  • •If it does not exist: continue normally.
  • •If it exists: STOP and ask the user what to do:
    1. •Backup then overwrite (recommended): read the existing file and write it to FEATURE_DIR/FEATURE_TECHNICAL_SPEC.md.bak.YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS, then write the new document to FEATURE_DIR/FEATURE_TECHNICAL_SPEC.md
    2. •Overwrite: replace FEATURE_DIR/FEATURE_TECHNICAL_SPEC.md with the new document
    3. •Abort: do not write anything; suggest they rename/move the existing file first

Process

Read .claude/skills/feature-technical-spec/PROMPT.md and follow its instructions exactly:

  1. •

    Read FEATURE_DIR/FEATURE_SPEC.md as input

  2. •

    Perform Existing Code Analysis (REQUIRED before any design):

    Note: All code analysis should be performed on PROJECT_ROOT (current working directory).

    a. Similar Functionality Audit

    • •Search for existing code that does something similar to what the feature needs
    • •List any utilities, helpers, or patterns that could be reused
    • •Flag if creating new code when existing code could be extended
    • •Output:
      code
      SIMILAR FUNCTIONALITY FOUND
---------------------------
- {file}: {description of similar functionality}
- {file}: {reusable utility/helper}

Recommendation: {extend existing | create new | hybrid approach}

    b. Pattern Compliance Check

    • •Identify how similar features are implemented in the codebase
    • •Note naming conventions, file organization, error handling patterns
    • •Document the "house style" for this type of feature
    • •Output:
      code
      EXISTING PATTERNS
-----------------
File organization: {pattern}
Naming convention: {pattern}
Error handling: {pattern}
Testing approach: {pattern}

    c. Integration Point Mapping

    • •List every existing file/module the feature will touch
    • •For each, assess: complexity, test coverage, documentation quality
    • •Flag high-risk integration points
    • •Output:
      code
      INTEGRATION POINTS
------------------
| File | Risk | Coverage | Notes |
|------|------|----------|-------|
| {file} | High/Med/Low | X% | {concerns} |
  3. •

    Assess codebase maturity — Is this a legacy/brownfield codebase?

    • •Look for: outdated dependencies, missing tests, undocumented code, deprecated patterns
    • •If legacy indicators found, explicitly address technical debt, undocumented behavior, and human decision points
  4. •

    Work through integration analysis, regression risks, and migration strategy

  5. •

    Generate the final FEATURE_TECHNICAL_SPEC.md document, incorporating findings from step 2

Output

Write the completed specification to FEATURE_DIR/FEATURE_TECHNICAL_SPEC.md.

Verification (Automatic)

After writing FEATURE_TECHNICAL_SPEC.md, run the spec-verification workflow:

  1. •Read .claude/skills/spec-verification/SKILL.md for the verification process
  2. •Verify context preservation: Check that all key items from FEATURE_SPEC.md appear in FEATURE_TECHNICAL_SPEC.md
  3. •Run quality checks for vague language, missing rationale, undefined contracts, integration gaps
  4. •Present any CRITICAL issues to the user with resolution options
  5. •Apply fixes based on user choices
  6. •Re-verify until clean or max iterations reached

IMPORTANT: Do not proceed to "Next Step" until verification passes or user explicitly chooses to proceed with noted issues.

Deferred Requirements Capture (During Q&A)

IMPORTANT: Capture deferred requirements interactively during the Q&A process, not after.

Write deferred items to PROJECT_ROOT/DEFERRED.md (not the feature directory).

When to Trigger

During the Q&A, watch for signals that the user is deferring a technical decision:

  • •"out of scope"
  • •"not in this feature" / "separate feature"
  • •"v2" / "future version"
  • •"premature optimization"
  • •"technical debt we'll address later"
  • •"keep it simple for now"
  • •"follow-up" / "future enhancement"

Capture Flow

When you detect a deferral signal, immediately use AskUserQuestion:

code
Question: "Would you like to save this to your deferred requirements?"
Header: "Defer?"
Options:
  - "Yes, capture it" — I'll ask a few quick questions to document it
  - "No, skip" — Don't record this

If user selects "Yes, capture it":

Ask these clarifying questions:

  1. •

    What's being deferred? "In one sentence, what's the technical decision or feature?" (Pre-fill with your understanding from context)

  2. •

    Why defer it? Options: "Premature optimization" / "Out of scope" / "Separate feature" / "V2" / "Needs more research" / "Other"

  3. •

    Notes for later? "Any technical context that will help when revisiting this?" (Optional — user can skip)

Write to DEFERRED.md Immediately

After collecting answers, append to PROJECT_ROOT/DEFERRED.md right away.

Add new section or append to existing feature section:

markdown

## From FEATURE_TECHNICAL_SPEC.md: {FEATURE_NAME} ({date})

| Requirement | Reason | Notes |
|-------------|--------|-------|
| {user's answer} | {selected reason} | {notes or "—"} |

Continue Q&A

After capturing (or skipping), continue the spec Q&A where you left off.

Cross-Model Review (Automatic)

After verification passes, run cross-model review if Codex CLI is available:

  1. •Check if Codex CLI is installed: codex --version
  2. •If available, run /codex-consult with upstream context
  3. •Present any findings to the user before proceeding

Consultation invocation:

code
/codex-consult --upstream features/$1/FEATURE_SPEC.md --research "{detected technologies from codebase}" features/$1/FEATURE_TECHNICAL_SPEC.md

If Codex finds issues:

  • •Show critical issues and recommendations
  • •Ask user: "Address findings before proceeding?" (Yes/No)
  • •If Yes: Apply suggested fixes
  • •If No: Continue with noted issues

If Codex unavailable: Skip silently and proceed to Next Step.

Next Step

When verification is complete, inform the user:

code
FEATURE_TECHNICAL_SPEC.md created and verified at features/$1/FEATURE_TECHNICAL_SPEC.md

Verification: PASSED | PASSED WITH NOTES | NEEDS REVIEW
Cross-Model Review: PASSED | PASSED WITH NOTES | SKIPPED
Deferred Requirements: {count} items captured to DEFERRED.md

Next: Run /feature-plan $1
