Guide Spec-First Claude Code Workflows
Teams often lose alignment when specifications and implementation prompts evolve separately. This skill provides a structured workflow for Spec-Kit planning, Claude Code guidance, and iterative validation.

Test it
Using "spec-kit-claude-code-workflow". Plan a Spec-Kit workflow for a new internal dashboard.
Expected outcome:
- Recommended workflow phases from specification drafting through implementation review.
- Suggested inputs such as user stories, acceptance criteria, and repository conventions.
- Quality checkpoints for validating Claude Code output against the specification.
Using "spec-kit-claude-code-workflow". Help organize CLAUDE.md files across backend and frontend folders.
Expected outcome:
- A root guidance model for shared standards and project goals.
- Folder-level guidance recommendations for backend, frontend, and shared modules.
- Rules for keeping local overrides consistent with repository-wide expectations.
Using "spec-kit-claude-code-workflow". Review whether our prompt process supports iterative improvement.
Expected outcome:
- A feedback loop for capturing prompt issues after implementation.
- A method for updating specifications when implementation exposes ambiguity.
- A review checklist for prompt reuse and team learning.
Security Audit
SafeStatic analysis reported six possible issues, but all reviewed locations are prose in SKILL.md. No executable code, network activity, system reconnaissance, weak cryptography use, data exfiltration, or prompt injection attempt was found.

What You Can Build
Start a Specification-First Project
Set up a development process where specifications guide Claude Code implementation from the first planning stage.
Align Multi-Folder Repository Guidance
Plan root and folder-specific CLAUDE.md guidance so teams keep shared rules and local conventions consistent.
Improve AI-Assisted Implementation Reviews
Use specification traceability and quality checkpoints to review Claude Code output against stated requirements.
Try These Prompts
Use this skill to outline a Spec-Kit and Claude Code workflow for my project. Include prerequisites, expected inputs, and review checkpoints.
Use this skill to design root and folder-specific CLAUDE.md guidance for a multi-folder repository. Show how global rules and local rules should relate.
Use this skill to review whether my implementation plan traces back to the specifications. Identify gaps, ambiguous requirements, and validation steps.
Use this skill to improve our specification, prompt, implementation, and review cycle. Include feedback loops, team responsibilities, and quality controls.
Best Practices
- Keep specifications testable, current, and linked to implementation work.
- Use root guidance for shared rules and folder guidance for local conventions.
- Review Claude Code output against acceptance criteria before merging changes.
Avoid
- Do not use this workflow when the team intentionally works without specifications.
- Do not treat generated implementation as valid without specification review.
- Do not create folder-specific rules that conflict with required repository standards.
