Spec-Driven Development

This skill powers the windloop framework. Specs live in a spec directory — prefer .kiro/specs/<name>/, then fall back to .windloop/specs/<name>/. The format is the same regardless of location.

When to Use

• Complex features with multiple components or integrations
• Multi-step work where rework costs are significant
• AI-assisted development where structured planning improves output quality
• Team collaboration requiring shared understanding and traceability
• Resuming implementation across sessions
• Analytic or data-science workflows that need spec-level structure before implementation or promotion
• Projects that already contain requirements/design/tasks files or spec-like docs that need to be normalized into .kiro/specs/<name>/ or .windloop/specs/<name>/
• Requests that mention spec-help, spec-plan, or ask where analytic workflow specs should live

When NOT to Use

• Simple bug fixes with obvious one-file solutions
• Time-critical hotfixes requiring immediate action
