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
Ships withbabysitter

Enforce obedience on agentic workforces. Manage extremely complex workflows through deterministic, hallucination-free self-orchestration.
