Feature Request: Enhanced CLI with New Workflow Commands

Overview

Enhance the Specify CLI with new orchestrated workflow commands that automate complex development processes and provide seamless integration between different phases of spec-driven development.

Current State

  • Basic CLI commands exist but lack orchestration capabilities
  • No support for complex workflow automation
  • Missing integration between different development phases

Proposed Features

1. Feature Workflow Orchestration

  • feature-workflow Command: Automate end-to-end feature development
  • Specification Generation: Automated spec creation and validation
  • Clarification Process: Interactive clarification and refinement
  • Planning Integration: Seamless transition from spec to plan
  • Task Generation: Automatic task breakdown and assignment

2. MVP-to-Full Transition Commands

  • mvp-to-full Command: Orchestrate transition from MVP to full product
  • Analysis Phase: Comprehensive project state analysis
  • Gap Identification: Identify missing components and features
  • Planning Phase: Generate detailed transition plans
  • Implementation Guidance: Step-by-step implementation instructions

3. Enhanced CLI Functionality

  • Workflow Integration: Seamless integration between different commands
  • Progress Tracking: Track progress across different workflow phases
  • State Management: Maintain project state across workflow steps
  • Error Handling: Robust error handling and recovery

Benefits

  • Automated Workflows: Reduce manual work in complex processes
  • Consistent Processes: Standardized approaches across projects
  • Better Integration: Seamless flow between different development phases
  • Improved Productivity: Faster development cycles with automation

Implementation Details

  • Add new CLI commands for workflow orchestration
  • Implement workflow state management
  • Create integration points between different phases
  • Add comprehensive error handling and validation

Workflow Commands

  1. Feature Workflow: specify feature-workflow <feature-name>
  2. MVP Transition: specify mvp-to-full <project-path>
  3. State Analysis: specify analyze-state <project-path>
  4. Workflow Status: specify workflow-status <project-path>

Use Cases

  • Feature Development: Complete feature lifecycle automation
  • Project Scaling: MVP to full product transitions
  • Team Onboarding: Standardized processes for new team members
  • Quality Assurance: Consistent quality across projects

This enhancement transforms the CLI from a collection of individual commands into a powerful orchestration platform for spec-driven development.

    Implementation Details

    Feature Idea: I came up with the idea for enhanced CLI with new workflow commands to automate complex development processes and provide seamless integration between different phases of spec-driven development.

    Implementation: The feature was implemented using VS Code + GitHub Copilot + Claude Sonnet 4 model to create the enhanced CLI functionality with workflow orchestration capabilities.

    Correction: Pull Request Reference

    Previous comment referenced a non-existent PR.

    The referenced PR #8 does not exist in the github/spec-kit repository. This issue (Enhanced CLI with new workflow commands) does not currently have a corresponding pull request.

    The feature described in this issue is still pending implementation.

    This seems AI-generated with no direct outline of the problem or verification of how this was tested and validated. Please re-open the issue if you've verified that this behavior exists in Specify - mention your OS, how you're running Specify (arguments, slash-commands in IDE/CLI) and what is the output tree.

    Great to hear this is already implemented — I’m looking forward to testing it once it’s released!
