# Quick Spec Generator

<instructions>
## CRITICAL: Automatic Mode Execution Rules

**If `--auto` flag is present in `$ARGUMENTS`, you are in AUTOMATIC MODE.**

In Automatic Mode:
- Execute ALL 4 phases in a continuous loop without stopping
- Display progress after each phase (e.g., "Phase 1/4 complete: spec initialized")
- IGNORE any "Next Step" messages from Phase 2-4 (they are for standalone usage)
- After Phase 4, run the final sanity review before exiting
- Stop ONLY after the sanity review completes or if error occurs

---

## Core Task
Execute 4 spec phases sequentially. In automatic mode, execute all phases without stopping. In interactive mode, prompt user for approval between phases.

Before claiming quick generation is complete, run one lightweight sanity review over the generated requirements, design, and tasks. If the host supports fresh sub-agents, use one. Otherwise run the sanity review inline.

## Execution Steps

### Step 1: Parse Arguments and Initialize

Parse `$ARGUMENTS`:
- If contains `--auto`: **Automatic Mode** (execute all 4 phases)
- Otherwise: **Interactive Mode** (prompt at each phase)
- Extract description (remove `--auto` flag if present)

Example:
```
"User profile with avatar upload --auto" → mode=automatic, description="User profile with avatar upload"
"User profile feature" → mode=interactive, description="User profile feature"
```

Display mode banner and proceed to Step 2.

### Step 2: Execute Phase Loop

Execute these 4 phases in order:

---

#### Phase 1: Initialize Spec (Direct Implementation)

**Core Logic**:

1. **Check for Brief**:
   - If `{{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/{feature-name}/brief.md` exists (created by `/kiro-discovery`), read it for discovery context (problem, approach, scope, constraints)
   - Use brief content as the project description instead of `$ARGUMENTS`

2. **Generate Feature Name**:
   - Convert description to kebab-case
   - Example: "User profile with avatar upload" → "user-profile-avatar-upload"
   - Keep name concise (2-4 words ideally)

3. **Check Uniqueness**:
   - Use Glob to check `{{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/*/`
   - If directory exists with only `brief.md` (no `spec.json`), use that directory (discovery created it)
   - Otherwise if feature name exists, append `-2`, `-3`, etc.

4. **Create Directory**:
   - Use Bash: `mkdir -p {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/{feature-name}` (skip if already exists from discovery)

5. **Initialize Files from Templates**:

   a. Read templates:
   ```
   - {{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/templates/specs/init.json
   - {{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/templates/specs/requirements-init.md
   ```

   b. Replace placeholders:
   ```
   {{FEATURE_NAME}} → feature-name
   {{TIMESTAMP}} → current ISO 8601 timestamp (use `date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"`)
   {{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}} → description
   {{LANG_CODE}} → language code (detect from user's input language, default to `en`)
   ```

   c. Write files using Write tool:
   ```
   - {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/{feature-name}/spec.json
   - {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/{feature-name}/requirements.md
   ```

6. **Output Progress**: "Phase 1/4 complete: Spec initialized at {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/{feature-name}/"

**Automatic Mode**: IMMEDIATELY continue to Phase 2.

**Interactive Mode**: Prompt "Continue to requirements generation? (yes/no)"
- If "no": Stop, show current state
- If "yes": Continue to Phase 2

---

#### Phase 2: Generate Requirements

Invoke `/kiro-spec-requirements {feature-name}`.

Wait for completion. IGNORE any "Next Step" message (it is for standalone usage).

**Output Progress**: "Phase 2/4 complete: Requirements generated"

**Automatic Mode**: IMMEDIATELY continue to Phase 3.

**Interactive Mode**: Prompt "Continue to design generation? (yes/no)"
- If "no": Stop, show current state
- If "yes": Continue to Phase 3

---

#### Phase 3: Generate Design

Invoke `/kiro-spec-design {feature-name} -y`. The `-y` flag auto-approves requirements.

Wait for completion. IGNORE any "Next Step" message.

**Output Progress**: "Phase 3/4 complete: Design generated"

**Automatic Mode**: IMMEDIATELY continue to Phase 4.

**Interactive Mode**: Prompt "Continue to tasks generation? (yes/no)"
- If "no": Stop, show current state
- If "yes": Continue to Phase 4

---

#### Phase 4: Generate Tasks

Invoke `/kiro-spec-tasks {feature-name} -y`. The `-y` flag auto-approves requirements, design, and tasks.

Wait for completion.

**Output Progress**: "Phase 4/4 complete: Tasks generated"

#### Final Sanity Review

After Phase 4, run a lightweight sanity review before claiming completion.

- Review `requirements.md`, `design.md`, and `tasks.md` directly from disk. If `brief.md` exists, use it only as supporting context.
- Prefer a fresh review sub-agent when the host supports it. Pass only file paths and the review objective; the reviewer should read the generated files itself.
- Review focus:
  - Do requirements, design, and tasks tell a coherent story?
  - Are there obvious contradictions, missing prerequisites, or missing task coverage for required design work?
  - Are `_Depends:_`, `_Boundary:_`, and `(P)` markers plausible for implementation?
- If the review finds only task-plan-local issues, repair or update the generated `tasks.md` once, then re-run the sanity review.
- If the review finds a real requirements/design gap or contradiction, stop and report follow-up instead of claiming the quick spec is implementation-ready.

**All 4 phases plus sanity review complete.**

Output final completion summary (see Output Description section) and exit.

## Important Constraints

### Error Handling
- Any phase failure stops the workflow
- Display error and current state
- Suggest manual recovery command
