Features spec-driven agentic development (Requirements → Design → Tasks → Implementation) for Cursor. Implements a systematic development methodology as an alternative to "Vibe Coding", ensuring consistently well-documented, maintainable, and production-ready outputs.

This approach is based on Claude Code Spec Workflow, but adapted for Cursor IDE. This follows an idiomatic principles of AWS Kiro. I may tweak the prompts and templates from time to time to better suit my personal needs.

• Creates persistent project context documents
• Analyzes your codebase and gathers project information
• Generates product.md, tech.md, and structure.md
• Ensures all specs align with your project's vision and standards

The /spec-create command handles the entire spec workflow in one seamless process:

1. Requirements phase

   • Generates user stories and acceptance criteria
   • Uses EARS format (WHEN/IF/THEN statements)
   • Aligns with product vision from steering documents
   • Automatically validated before user review

2. Design phase

   • Creates technical architecture and design
   • Follows technical standards from steering documents
   • Includes Mermaid diagrams for visualization
   • Validates against requirements coverage

3. Tasks phase

   • Breaks design into atomic coding tasks
   • Ensures all requirements and design components are covered
   • References specific requirements for traceability
   • Validates task atomicity for agent execution

• Executes tasks systematically
• Follows all steering document guidelines
• Validates against requirements
• Ensures quality and consistency

Use these commands in Cursor:

TODO

# Set up steering documents (recommended first step!)
/spec-steering-setup

# Create a new feature spec (handles complete workflow)
/spec-create user-authentication "Secure login system"

# Execute specific tasks:
/spec-execute 1

# Check status
/spec-status

# List all specs
/spec-list
