Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Generates or updates highly detailed, machine-readable technical specification documents in the /spec/ directory.Key capabilities
- →Translate PRDs into technical specifications
- →Define data contracts and interfaces
- →Update existing technical specifications
- →Investigate codebase for current structures
- →Collaborate with users on technical trade-offs
- →Generate specification files in the /spec/ directory
How it works
This skill translates PRDs into technical specifications by understanding requirements, investigating the codebase, collaborating with the user on technical trade-offs, and generating structured specification files, ensuring compliance with formatting standards.

About specification-architect
Converts product requirements into detailed, machine-readable technical specs, focusing on data contracts and constraints.
Generates or updates highly detailed, machine-readable technical specification documents in the /spec/ directory.
When not to use it
- →Writing production code
- →Asking multiple architectural questions in a single prompt
- →Automatically picking data types or API protocols without user verification
Limitations
- →Does not write production code
- →Does not ask multiple architectural questions in a single prompt
- →Does not automatically pick data types or API protocols
How it compares
This skill provides a structured, iterative workflow for creating technical specifications, ensuring clarity, testability, and adherence to architectural constraints, unlike an unstructured manual process.
