AC Spec Generator

Generate comprehensive feature lists from project specifications.

Purpose

Transforms parsed specifications into actionable feature lists with testable acceptance criteria, enabling autonomous implementation.

Quick Start

from scripts.spec_generator import SpecGenerator

generator = SpecGenerator(project_dir)
feature_list = await generator.generate(spec)
await generator.save_feature_list(feature_list)

Feature List Schema

{
  "features": [
    {
      "id": "auth-001",
      "description": "User can register with email and password",
      "category": "authentication",
      "status": "pending",
      "passes": false,
      "test_cases": [
        "Valid registration creates user",
        "Duplicate email shows error",
        "Weak password rejected"
      ],
      "dependencies": [],
      "estimated_effort": "2h",
      "priority": 1
    }
  ],
  "total": 50,
  "completed": 0,
  "metadata": {
    "generated_at": "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z",
    "spec_version": "1.0.0"
  }
}

Generation Strategy

Feature Decomposition

• Break requirements into atomic, testable units
• Generate 50-100+ features for comprehensive coverage
• Order by dependency (foundations first)
• Group by category for organization

Categories

• core

  : Essential functionality

• authentication

  : Login/register/permissions

• data

  : Models, storage, retrieval

• api

  : Endpoints, integrations

• ui

  : User interface components

• testing

  : Test infrastructure

• deployment

  : CI/CD, hosting

Priority Assignment

1. Critical: Blocks other features
2. High: Core functionality
3. Medium: Important but not blocking
4. Low: Nice-to-have, polish

Workflow

1. Parse: Load and validate spec
2. Analyze: Identify requirement patterns
3. Decompose: Break into atomic features
4. Prioritize: Assign priority and order
5. Enrich: Add test cases and estimates
6. Export: Save feature_list.json

Integration

• Input: Parsed spec from

  ac-spec-parser

• Output: Feature list for

  ac-state-tracker

• Uses:

  ac-complexity-assessor

  for estimates
