Specification Generation
Capabilities
Transforms requirements from PM interviews into structured technical specifications. Includes technology stack selection, system architecture, data models, API contracts, and architecture decision records (ADRs).
Tool Use Instructions
- Use Read to examine requirements documents and existing specs
- Use Grep/Glob to find related architectural patterns in the codebase
- Use Write to generate the technical specification document
- Use Edit to refine specs based on Architect feedback
Process Integration
- Used in
maestro-orchestrator.js Phase 2-3 (Architect Review, Tech Spec)
- Maps to tasks:
maestro-pm-spec-generation, maestro-architect-tech-spec
- Agents: Product Manager (requirements spec), Architect (technical spec)
- Iterates with Architect feedback loop until approved
- Outputs feed into
