Specification Status

• Success Criteria:
• Show current phase and completion status
• Identify next actions and blockers
• Provide clear visibility into progress
• Surface boundary readiness, upstream/downstream context, and likely revalidation needs when available

Execution Steps

Step 1: Load Spec Context

• Read {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/spec.json for metadata and phase status
• Read {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/brief.md if it exists
• Read existing files: requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md (if they exist)
• Check {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/ directory for available files
• Read {{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/roadmap.md if it exists and this spec appears in it

Step 2: Analyze Status

Parse each phase:

• Requirements: Count requirements and acceptance criteria
• Design: Check for architecture, components, diagrams, and whether boundary sections are present
• Tasks: Count completed vs total tasks (parse - [x] vs - [ ])
• Approvals: Check approval status in spec.json
• Boundary context:
• From brief.md: note Boundary Candidates, Upstream / Downstream, and Existing Spec Touchpoints if present
• From design.md: note Boundary Commitments, Out of Boundary, Allowed Dependencies, and Revalidation Triggers if present
• From roadmap.md: note upstream dependencies and whether this spec is adjacent to Existing Spec Updates
• Revalidation watchlist:
• Identify downstream specs, neighboring existing-spec updates, or rollout-sensitive design notes that may need revalidation if this spec changes
• Call out when the current spec shape looks too broad and may want roadmap/design splitting instead of more local repair

Step 3: Generate Report

Create report in the language specified in spec.json covering:

1. Current Phase & Progress: Where the spec is in the workflow
2. Completion Status: Percentage complete for each phase
3. Task Breakdown: If tasks exist, show completed/remaining counts
4. Boundary Context: Upstream/downstream, out-of-boundary, and allowed dependency notes when available
5. Revalidation Watchlist: Downstream or adjacent work likely affected by changes to this spec
6. Next Actions: What needs to be done next
7. Blockers: Any issues preventing progress

Safety & Fallback

Error Scenarios

Spec Not Found:

• Message: "No spec found for $1. Check available specs in {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/"
• Action: List available spec directories

Incomplete Spec:

• Warning: Identify which files are missing
• Suggested Action: Point to next phase command

List All Specs

To see all available specs:

• Run with no argument or use wildcard
• Shows all specs in {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/ with their status
