Spec-Flow - Structured Development Workflow

Structured workflow for complex feature development. Creates living documentation that guides implementation and serves as team reference.

Core Principles

1. 1. One phase at a time — NEVER generate documents for subsequent phases in advance
2. Mandatory confirmation — After each phase, STOP and wait for user confirmation
3. User-driven progression — Only proceed when user says "continue"/"ok"/"next"/"继续"/"好"

Parameters

参数	说明
INLINECODE0	跳过逐阶段确认，一次性生成所有文档（最后整体确认）
INLINECODE1

跳过 Design 阶段（简单功能，架构显而易见时） |

Language Rule

所有生成的 .md 文件必须使用中文。

Interaction Rules

Load references/interaction-rules.md for detailed confirmation templates and prohibited behaviors.

Five-Phase Workflow

Copy this checklist and check off items as you complete them:

Spec-Flow Progress:

• - [ ] Phase 0: Initialize ⚠️ REQUIRED

- [ ] 0.1 Run scripts/init-spec-flow.sh <feature-name> or create .spec-flow/active/<feature>/ - [ ] 0.2 Check if .spec-flow/steering/ exists — if so, read for project context - [ ] 0.3 问自己：这个功能的核心价值是什么？用一句话能说清吗？

• - [ ] Phase 1: Proposal ⚠️ REQUIRED

- [ ] 1.1 Create .spec-flow/active/<feature>/proposal.md using templates/proposal.md.template - [ ] 1.2 包含：Background, Goals, Non-Goals, Scope, Risks, Open Questions - [ ] 1.3 问自己：有没有隐含的需求没写出来？ - [ ] 1.4 问自己：Non-Goals 是否足够明确？能防止 scope creep 吗？ - [ ] 1.5 ⏸️ 确认节点 — 等待用户确认后继续

• - [ ] Phase 2: Requirements

- [ ] 2.1 Create .spec-flow/active/<feature>/requirements.md using templates/requirements.md.template - [ ] 2.2 Load references/ears-format.md — 使用 EARS 格式编写需求 - [ ] 2.3 包含：FR-xxx 功能需求, NFR-xxx 非功能需求, AC-xxx 验收标准 - [ ] 2.4 问自己：每条需求都是可测试的吗？ - [ ] 2.5 问自己：边界情况覆盖了吗？错误场景呢？ - [ ] 2.6 ⏸️ 确认节点 — 等待用户确认后继续

• - [ ] Phase 3: Design（除非 --skip-design）

- [ ] 3.1 Create .spec-flow/active/<feature>/design.md using templates/design.md.template - [ ] 3.2 包含：Architecture (Mermaid), Components, API, Data Model, Error Handling - [ ] 3.3 问自己：这个设计能满足所有 requirements 吗？逐条对照 - [ ] 3.4 问自己：有没有更简单的方案？过度设计了吗？ - [ ] 3.5 ⏸️ 确认节点 — 等待用户确认后继续

• - [ ] Phase 4: Tasks

- [ ] 4.1 Create .spec-flow/active/<feature>/tasks.md using templates/tasks.md.template - [ ] 4.2 Load references/task-decomposition.md — 遵循任务拆解规范 - [ ] 4.3 每个任务：1-2 tool calls 可完成，标注复杂度 Low/Medium/High - [ ] 4.4 分组：Setup → Implementation → Testing → Documentation - [ ] 4.5 问自己：任务之间的依赖关系对吗？有没有可以并行的？ - [ ] 4.6 ⏸️ 确认节点 — 等待用户确认后继续

• - [ ] Phase 5: Implementation

- [ ] 5.1 Load references/execution-modes.md — 确认执行模式 - [ ] 5.2 默认 Step Mode（逐任务确认），用户可切换 Batch/Phase Mode - [ ] 5.3 每个任务执行前：读 tasks.md → 检查依赖 → 读 design.md - [ ] 5.4 每个任务执行后：更新 tasks.md 状态（- [ ] → - [x]） - [ ] 5.5 全部完成后：归档到 .spec-flow/archive/

Directory Structure

CODEBLOCK0

Steering Documents (Optional)

Document	Purpose	Template
INLINECODE21	项目治理原则	INLINECODE22
INLINECODE23

产品愿景、目标用户 | templates/steering/product.md.template | | tech.md | 技术栈、约束 | templates/steering/tech.md.template | | structure.md | 代码组织、命名规范 | templates/steering/structure.md.template |

Phase Transitions

From	To	Condition
Proposal	Requirements	Proposal approved, questions resolved
Requirements

Design | Requirements complete, testable | | Requirements | Tasks | --skip-design, simple feature | | Design | Tasks | Design approved | | Tasks | Implementation | Tasks confirmed | | Implementation | Done | All tasks complete → archive |
