Spec Interview Kanban

Spec Interview Kanban

Invoke as $spec-interview-kanban.

Use this skill only in projects that have opted into a PoketoWork kanban pack.

Process

1. Follow the base $spec-interview workflow exactly, passing through $ARGUMENTS as the topic, draft, or spec path.
2. Resolve and validate the project board:
   • Check tasks/.kanban-board, then validate with poketo kanban board <id>.
   • If missing or stale, match poketo kanban boards against basename $(pwd).
   • If no board is clear, ask the user. If no boards exist, offer poketo kanban create-board --name "$(basename $(pwd))" --template standard.
   • Ensure Backlog, Todo, In Progress, Done, and Punt lists exist.
3. Fetch the board and show a brief overview before the interview.
4. After the base interview writes the spec and interview log:
   • Extract two or three distinctive keywords from the topic or spec title.
   • Search all lists for matching cards.
   • If one card matches, update that card description with the spec summary and file path. Do not move it.
   • If multiple cards match, ask the user which card to update.
   • If no card matches, create a Backlog card with the spec summary and file path.
5. Report the card updated or created.

Never move cards backward from Done or Punt. If kanban fails, warn and keep the completed spec as the source of truth.
