Speckit Workflows.Enhance Skill
<!-- Extension: workflows --> <!-- Config: .specify/extensions/workflows/ -->The user input to you can be provided directly by the agent or as a command argument - you MUST consider it before proceeding with the prompt (if not empty).
User input:
$ARGUMENTS
The text the user typed after /speckit.workflows.enhance (or /speckit.enhance) in the triggering message is the enhancement description. Assume you always have it available in this conversation even if $ARGUMENTS appears literally below. Do not ask the user to repeat it unless they provided an empty command.
Given that enhancement description, do this:
-
Read configuration — Check for a project config at
.specify/extensions/workflows/workflows-config.yml. If present, readenhance.max_tasksandenhance.min_tasks. If absent, use the extension defaults:max_tasks=7,min_tasks=3. The environment variableSPECKIT_WORKFLOWS_ENHANCE_MAX_TASKSoverrides both (highest priority). Call the resolved values MAX_TASKS and MIN_TASKS for the steps below. -
Run the script
.specify/extensions/workflows/scripts/bash/create-enhance.shfrom repo root and parse its JSON output for ENHANCE_ID, BRANCH_NAME, and ENHANCEMENT_FILE. All file paths must be absolute. IMPORTANT You must only ever run this script once. The JSON is provided in the terminal as output - always refer to it to get the actual content you're looking for. -
Load
.specify/extensions/workflows/templates/enhance/enhancement-template.mdto understand required sections. -
Write the enhancement document to ENHANCEMENT_FILE using the template structure, replacing placeholders with concrete details derived from the enhancement description while preserving section order and headings.
- Extract what is being enhanced and why from the description
- Define proposed changes clearly
- Create a simple, single-phase implementation plan
- Break down into MIN_TASKS–MAX_TASKS specific tasks. If the scope clearly requires more than MAX_TASKS tasks, stop and suggest
/speckit.specifyinstead before creating any files. - Define clear acceptance criteria
- Mark priority based on description (enhancement requests are typically Medium unless specified)
-
Report completion with Next Steps:
Enhancement workflow initialized
**Branch**: [BRANCH_NAME]
**Enhancement ID**: [ENHANCE_ID]
**Enhancement Document**: [ENHANCEMENT_FILE]
**Task limit applied**: MIN_TASKS–MAX_TASKS tasks (from [config file | env var | extension defaults])
**Next Steps:**
1. Review the enhancement.md document
2. Verify the implementation plan is appropriate for a minor enhancement
3. Run `/speckit.implement` to execute the enhancement
4. Verify all tests pass and functionality works as expected
**Reminder**:
- If this requires more than 1 phase or >MAX_TASKS tasks, consider using `/speckit.specify` instead
- Enhancement workflow is for quick, minor improvements only
- All changes should still include appropriate tests
- To change the task limit: edit `.specify/extensions/workflows/workflows-config.yml`
or set `SPECKIT_WORKFLOWS_ENHANCE_MAX_TASKS=<n>` in your environment
Note: The script creates and checks out the new branch before writing files.
