Learn-skills.dev spec-kit

Use when work involves Spec Kit and you need to choose the correct `spec-kit-*` sub-skill, enforce artifact-order gates, or route remediation work (for example sequence violations or specification drift at any stage).

Spec Kit Skill Router

Route requests to the smallest set of installed

spec-kit-*
skills. Treat routes as defaults; if repository constraints require a different sequence, state the deviation and risk.

Invocation Notice

  • Inform the user when this skill is invoked by name:
    spec-kit
    .

Trigger Tests

  • Should trigger:
    • "Which spec-kit skill should I run next?"
    • "Route this feature request through Spec Kit."
    • "I have
      tasks.md
      ; can we implement now?"
  • Should not trigger:
    • "Write a Conventional Commit message."
    • "Debug Python concurrency bugs unrelated to Spec Kit."

Routing Flowchart

Use this for feature-work sequencing. Gate checks are mandatory.

Sequence Rules

  1. Never run
    spec-kit-plan
    without
    spec.md
    .
  2. Never run
    spec-kit-implement
    without
    tasks.md
    .
  3. Run
    spec-kit-clarify
    before planning when ambiguity can change architecture, data model, testing, UX, operations, or compliance.
  4. Run
    spec-kit-reconcile
    whenever drift is detected at any stage before continuing.

Router Behavior

  1. Classify user intent first, then select one or more child skills from the route table.
  2. Enforce artifact gates before invoking downstream skills.
  3. Prefer the minimal next step; do not run the full pipeline unless requested.
  4. If the requested step violates a gate, route to the missing prerequisite and explain the dependency.
  5. Route developer-reported drift directly to
    spec-kit-reconcile
    , even if raised outside analyze/implement.

Shared Resource Ownership (Parent Skill)

  • skills/spec-kit/scripts/*
    is the source of truth for shared shell helpers.
  • Child skills may symlink these scripts; preserve script names and argument contracts unless all dependent children are updated together.
  • skills/spec-kit/references/spec-kit-workflow.dot
    is shared by symlink in multiple child skills and must stay router-accurate.

Unsupported in This Repo

  • spec-kit-taskstoissues
    is not supported.
  • If the user asks for GitHub issue export from
    tasks.md
    , state that no
    spec-kit-*
    exporter skill is available and continue with manual guidance or available skills.
