how to use /speckit.checklist

[gavinjou818]

At which stage should the checklist action be placed? I am only given one Reliability.md at a time, but the AI won't automatically confirm it. What is the correct operation for me to follow?

Hi! From my point of view, you should use checklist command after the use of specify! This is because you need to refine the specs before starting to plan, it helps to avoid the phenomenon known as "Spec-Drift", the difference between the specs and the final solution created by the agents!

I hope it could help you!

Yep! I made a PR for that #1496

Yep! I made a PR for that #1496

The changes in #1496 do not mention "checklist" anywhere. Am I looking at the right PR?

[emi-dm]

Yes, sorry the changes are related to tasks in a concrete example! Maybe, we should make a PR for this

So we have:

• /clarify before /plan (after /specify)
• /checklist before /implement (after /tasks)?

What about /analyze? When is the best to do that? @emi-dm

https://speckit.org/ is NOT the correct website. It is hosted by a 3rd party. See https://github.github.com/spec-kit/ for source of truth

Clarify is used to refine specs before plan. Checklist is used before implement to asses that there is no gap in the spec / tasks (e.g. A User Story without associated tasks) I think you got those mixed up. As per your very first comment in this discussion, the /checklist command should be the one for refining the spec before creating a plan. /clarify is clarify any [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers in the spec before creating the plan.
