Speckit Orchestrator
Overview
Coordinates the Spec Driven Development workflow, skill loading, and progress tracking throughout the command lifecycle.
Persistent Presence Lens
Treat SDD as a minimal, testable "self-modeling" loop:
- World model: repo + speckit artifacts (
spec.md,plan.md,tasks.md) - Agent model: loaded skills/plugins + constraints (especially
.specify/memory/constitution.md) + progress state
This mirrors patterns from open-ended embodied agents (e.g., Voyager/MineDojo) that compound capability via a curriculum (tasks.md) and a skill library (reusable plugin skills and superpowers methodology skills).
When To Use
- Starting any
/speckit-*command. - Coordinating multi-phase development workflows.
- Tracking progress across specification, planning, and implementation.
- Ensuring skill dependencies are loaded.
When NOT To Use
- Single-phase work (just specify, or just plan)
- Non-spec-driven projects
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 Persistent State ("presence")
- Read
.specify/memory/constitution.mdfor constraints/principles. - Load current
spec.md/plan.md/tasks.mdcontext if present.
- Read
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.
Command-Skill Matrix
Quick reference for command-to-skill mappings:
| Command | Primary Skill | Complementary Skills |
|---|---|---|
/speckit-specify |
spec-writing | brainstorming |
/speckit-clarify |
spec-writing | brainstorming |
/speckit-plan |
task-planning | writing-plans |
/speckit-tasks |
task-planning | executing-plans |
/speckit-implement |
- | executing-plans, systematic-debugging |
/speckit-converge |
- | executing-plans, verification-before-completion |
/speckit-analyze |
- | systematic-debugging, verification |
/speckit-checklist |
- | verification-before-completion |
For detailed patterns: See modules/command-skill-matrix.md for complete mappings and loading rules.
See modules/writing-plans-extensions.md for plan authoring patterns.
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.
