Generate Requirements Document - **Name**: `generate-requirements` - **Description**: Generate requirements.md using EARS format - **Input**: High-level requirements of the application. Example: 'A Vue.js todo application with task creation, completion tracking, and local storage persistence' - **Output**: Structured requirements document in `specs/requirements.md` ### 2. Generate Design from Requirements - **Name**: `generate-design-from-requirements` - **Description**: Generate design.md from requirements.md - **Input**: Reads from `specs/requirements.md` - **Output**: Design document in `specs/design.md` ### 3. Generate Code from Design - **Name**: `generate-code-from-design` - **Description**: Generate code from design.md - **Input**: Reads from `specs/design.md` - **Output**: Implementation code in the root folder ## 📖 Workflow Example 1. **Start with Requirements**: Use the `generate-requirements` prompt with your initial requirements text 2. **Create Design**: Use `generate-design-from-requirements` to create a design document based on your requirements 3. **Generate Code**: Use `generate-code-from-design` to generate implementation code from your design This creates a traceable path from requirements through design to implementation, ensuring consistency and completeness in your development process. ## 🤔 Why Spec-Driven Development? Moving beyond Vibe Coding to a structured, specification-driven approach brings clarity, consistency, and maintainability to your development workflow. Instead of coding by intuition alone, Spec-Driven Development provides a systematic foundation that scales with your project's complexity. Learn more about the benefits: [Goodbye, Vibe Coding!
