start_feature

Read-only

Orchestrates complete new feature development: checks context, generates specification, and estimates workload. Use for full feature workflow.

Instructions

当用户需要完整的新功能开发流程时使用。编排:检查上下文→生成规格→估算工作量。若只需规格文档请用 add_feature

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
docs_dirNo文档输出目录,默认为 docs
subspecsNoparent-child 的子规格定义;每项包含 id、title、fr 和可选 dependsOn
descriptionNo功能详细描述。可以是简短的自然语言(如'开发用户认证功能')或详细的需求说明
spec_layoutNo规格布局:flat(默认)或 parent-child(由 Agent 落盘母/子规格)
feature_nameNo功能名称(kebab-case 格式,如 user-auth)。可选,如果不提供会从 description 自动提取
project_rootNo项目根目录绝对路径。建议显式传入;docs_dir 等相对路径参数应统一相对该项目根目录解析,避免依赖客户端 cwd。
loop_max_roundsNo需求 loop 最大轮次(默认 2)
template_profileNo模板档位:auto(默认,自动选择 guided/strict)、guided(普通模型友好)或 strict(结构更紧凑)
requirements_modeNo需求模式:steady(默认,直接生成规格)或 loop(需求澄清与补全)
loop_assumption_capNo每轮假设上限(默认 3)
loop_question_budgetNo每轮最多提问数量(默认 5)
Behavior1/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description implies the tool generates spec documents (编排:生成规格) and outputs to a docs directory, which contradicts the readOnlyHint=true annotation that suggests the tool makes no persistent changes. It also fails to disclose file creation, required permissions, or reversibility. The contradiction makes this score 1.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is two concise sentences, front-loaded with the purpose, then the orchestration flow, then the alternative. Every phrase earns its place with no redundancy or irrelevant detail.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity (11 parameters, no output schema, orchestration workflow), the high-level flow is provided but key behavior is missing: what the tool actually returns, that it likely writes spec files to docs_dir, and how optional parameters (e.g., requirements_mode, loop_* settings) affect the process. It's adequate but has clear gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema covers 100% of the 11 parameters with detailed descriptions. The tool description does not add additional explanation beyond the orchestration steps, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate—the schema already carries the semantic weight.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool orchestrates a full new-feature development flow with explicit steps (check context → generate spec → estimate workload), and it explicitly distinguishes itself from sibling add_feature for spec-only needs. This is a specific verb+resource+process description that differentiates from similar tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives an explicit when-to-use ('when the user needs a complete new feature development process') and an explicit alternative for a related case ('if only need a spec document, use add_feature'). This constitutes a clear when/when-not/alternative pairing, exceeding the 'clear context' bar.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
