write-a-spec
write-a-spec is an Engineering planning & specs skill for AI agents, published by inkeep in the open-knowledge repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates write-a-spec F (45/100) and the safety scan rated it risky; the rating is based on static analysis only.
Risky. This skill has patterns associated with unsafe behaviour. Read the source carefully before running it.
Scope a feature end to end and write an implementation spec under specs/ from an accepted proposal — current-system mapping, goals/non-goals, a Decision Log for one-way-door choices, a live Open Questions backlog, and a real migration + test plan. Read when asked to write a spec, scope this feature, turn this proposal into a spec, plan the implementation, or break this into tasks. Do NOT fire on frame a proposal or write the PRD (sibling frame-a-proposal — a PRD frames a change before it is accepted; this skill starts once one is), record a decision or write the ADR (record-a-decision), write a postmortem (write-a-postmortem), or review this design (review-a-design) — those are separate skills. Complements the platform open-knowledge skill; does not replace it.
