Speckit Orchestrator
Overview
Coordinates the Spec Driven Development workflow, skill loading, and progress tracking throughout the command lifecycle.
When to Use
- Starting any
/speckit-*command. - Coordinating multi-phase development workflows.
- Tracking progress across specification, planning, and implementation.
- Ensuring skill dependencies are loaded.
Core Workflow
Session Initialization
Verify Repository Context
- Confirm working directory is a speckit-enabled project.
- Check for
.specify/directory structure. - Validate required scripts exist.
Load Command Dependencies
- Match current command to required skills.
- Load complementary superpowers skills.
Initialize Progress Tracking
- Create TodoWrite items for workflow phases.
- Track completion status.

For detailed patterns: See modules/command-skill-matrix.md for complete mappings and loading rules.
Progress Tracking Items
For each workflow session, track:
- Repository context verified.
- Prerequisites validated.
- Command-specific skills loaded.
- Artifacts created/updated.
- Verification completed.
For detailed patterns: See modules/progress-tracking.md for TodoWrite patterns and metrics.
Exit Criteria
- Active command completed successfully.
- All required artifacts exist and are valid.
- Progress tracking reflects current state.
- No unresolved blockers.
