# 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.

## Install

```bash
npx skillstore add claude/abdul-haseeb360-spec-kit-claude-code-workflow

## Capabilities

- Defines when a Spec-Kit and Claude Code workflow is appropriate.
- Outlines repository-wide and folder-specific CLAUDE.md guidance patterns.
- Describes specification formatting, validation, and traceability practices.
- Explains how Claude Code should reference specifications during implementation.
- Provides quality checkpoints for specifications, implementation, and workflow use.
- Supports prompt iteration and team knowledge sharing practices.

## Use Cases

- 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.

## Prompt Templates

### Map the Workflow

```
Use this skill to outline a Spec-Kit and Claude Code workflow for my project. Include prerequisites, expected inputs, and review checkpoints.
```

### Structure CLAUDE.md Guidance

```
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.
```

### Validate Implementation Against Specs

```
Use this skill to review whether my implementation plan traces back to the specifications. Identify gaps, ambiguous requirements, and validation steps.
```

### Refine the Full Development Loop

```
Use this skill to improve our specification, prompt, implementation, and review cycle. Include feedback loops, team responsibilities, and quality controls.
```

## Limitations

- It is a conceptual workflow guide, not an executable automation tool.
- It does not create Spec-Kit files or CLAUDE.md files by itself.
- It assumes the project already values specification-driven development.
- It does not replace project-specific security, testing, or architecture review.

## 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.

## Anti Patterns

- 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.

## Security Audit

- - Safe to publish: true
- - Audited at: 2026-06-28T03:57:59.377\+00:00
- - Summary: Static 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.
