# PM Commands: Spec Management System - Implementation Summary

**Date**: 2025-11-10
**Status**: ✅ COMPLETE
**Version**: PM Commands 2.0 + Spec Management

---

## 🎯 Overview

Implemented a comprehensive **Spec Management System** for PM Commands, enabling spec-first development workflow with Linear Documents integration. This enhances the existing PM Commands 2.0 (Interactive Mode) with 6 new spec-focused commands plus a context-aware help system.

---

## 📊 What Was Built

### 6 New Spec Management Commands

#### 1. `/ccpm:spec:create <type> "<title>" [parent-id]`
**Purpose**: Create Epic/Feature with Linear Document

**Features**:
- Creates Linear Initiative (Epic) or Parent Issue (Feature)
- Generates associated Linear Document for specs
- Pre-populates with appropriate template (Epic Spec or Feature Design)
- Links document to issue
- Supports hierarchy (Features can belong to Epics)

**Templates Included**:
- **Epic Spec Template**: Vision, User Research, Architecture, Features Breakdown, Timeline, Security
- **Feature Design Template**: Requirements, UX, Technical Design, Testing, Implementation Plan, Risks

#### 2. `/ccpm:spec:write <doc-id> <section>`
**Purpose**: AI-assisted spec writing with codebase analysis

**Sections**:
- `requirements` - Functional, non-functional, acceptance criteria
- `architecture` - System design, component breakdown, tech stack
- `api-design` - RESTful endpoints, request/response, validation
- `data-model` - Database schema, TypeScript types, migrations
- `testing` - Unit, integration, E2E strategies
- `security` - Auth, validation, rate limiting, audit logs
- `user-flow` - User journeys, wireframes, error states
- `timeline` - Task breakdown, estimates, milestones
- `all` - Write all sections sequentially

**AI Capabilities**:
- Analyzes existing codebase for patterns
- Fetches library documentation via Context7 MCP
- Follows project conventions
- Generates specific, testable content

#### 3. `/ccpm:spec:review <doc-id>`
**Purpose**: AI-powered spec validation

**Analysis**:
- **Completeness Score** (0-100%) based on required vs optional sections
- **Quality Assessment**: Specificity, testability, clarity, consistency
- **Risk Identification**: Scope creep, technical risks, timeline issues
- **Grading**: A (90-100%), B (75-89%), C (60-74%), D (50-59%), F (<50%)

**Output**:
- Detailed review report
- Actionable recommendations
- Best practices checklist
- Missing sections identified

#### 4. `/ccpm:spec:break-down <epic-or-feature-id>`
**Purpose**: Generate implementation items from spec

**Breakdown Logic**:
- **Epic → Features**: Parses "Features Breakdown" table, creates Parent Issues
- **Feature → Tasks**: Parses "Task Breakdown" checklist, creates Sub-Issues

**Features**:
- Auto-extracts from spec sections
- AI suggests missing items
- Detects and preserves dependencies
- Maps priorities (P0=Urgent, P1=High, etc.)
- Converts time estimates to Linear points
- Shows preview before creation
- Requires user confirmation

#### 5. `/ccpm:spec:migrate <project-path> [category]`
**Purpose**: Migrate existing markdown specs to Linear

**Discovery**:
- Scans `.claude/` directory: docs, plans, enhancements, tasks, research, analysis
- Categorizes files: Epic, Feature, Task, Documentation
- Auto-detects based on content patterns and file location

**Migration Process**:
1. **Discover** all markdown files in project
2. **Categorize** by type (Epic/Feature/Task/Doc)
3. **Show detailed preview** for EVERY file (MANDATORY)
4. **Ask confirmation** before ANY creation
5. **Create** Linear Issues + Documents
6. **Extract** checklists → create sub-tasks
7. **Move** originals to `.claude/migrated/`
8. **Create** breadcrumb files with Linear links

**Safety**:
- ✅ **ALWAYS shows full preview** before migration
- ✅ **Requires explicit confirmation**
- ✅ Original files moved (NOT deleted)
- ✅ Can rollback from `.claude/migrated/`
- ✅ Preserves full content in Linear Documents

#### 6. `/ccpm:spec:sync <doc-id-or-issue-id>`
**Purpose**: Sync spec with implementation reality

**Drift Detection**:
- **Requirements Drift**: Missing, extra, or changed features
- **API Drift**: Endpoint signatures, new/missing endpoints
- **Data Model Drift**: Schema changes, field modifications
- **Task Drift**: Status mismatches between spec checklist and Linear

**Sync Options**:
1. **Update spec to match reality** (recommended)
2. **Update implementation to match spec**
3. **Hybrid approach** (choose per item)
4. **Review only**

**Drift Score**: 0-100% (lower is better, 0% = perfect sync)

### 1 New Help Command

#### 7. `/ccpm:utils:help [issue-id]`
**Purpose**: Context-aware help and command suggestions

**Features**:
- **General Mode**: Shows all commands categorized
- **Context-Aware Mode**: Analyzes issue status and suggests relevant commands
- **Priority-Based Suggestions**: High/Medium/Low based on current state
- **Interactive Actions**: Quick action menu for common workflows
- **Workflow Guidance**: Spec-first vs Task-first flowcharts

**Smart Suggestions**:
- Status "Planning" → Suggest: Create spec, Write spec, Break down
- Status "In Progress" → Suggest: Next action, Sync spec, Quality checks
- Status "Verification" → Suggest: Run verification
- Status "Done" → Suggest: Finalize, Final spec sync
- Label "blocked" → Suggest: Fix issues, Review status

## 🎯 Use Cases

### Use Case 1: New Feature Development (personal-project)

**Scenario**: Building "Task Comments System" feature

```bash
# 1. Create Feature with Spec
/ccpm:spec:create feature "Task Comments System"
# Creates: WORK-100 + DOC-123

# 2. Write Comprehensive Spec
/ccpm:spec:write DOC-123 requirements
/ccpm:spec:write DOC-123 api-design
/ccpm:spec:write DOC-123 data-model
/ccpm:spec:write DOC-123 testing
# AI generates detailed specs based on codebase

# 3. Review & Validate
/ccpm:spec:review DOC-123
# Output: Grade A (92%) - Ready for approval

# 4. Break Down into Tasks
/ccpm:spec:break-down WORK-100
# Creates: WORK-101, WORK-102, WORK-103 (subtasks)

# 5. Implement
/ccpm:implementation:start WORK-101
# Works on first subtask

# 6. Keep Spec in Sync
/ccpm:spec:sync WORK-100
# Detects: API added optional field not in spec
# Updates spec to match reality
```

### Use Case 2: Migrating Existing Specs

**Scenario**: You have 45 markdown files in `.claude/` to migrate

```bash
# 1. Run Migration
/ccpm:spec:migrate ~/personal/personal-project

# Output: Detailed preview for ALL 45 files
# - 2 Epics → Linear Initiatives + Spec Docs
# - 12 Features → Parent Issues + Design Docs
# - 25 Tasks → Issues (some with subtasks)
# - 6 Docs → Reference documents

# 2. Confirm after reviewing preview
# → Creates all items in Linear

# 3. Review in Linear
/ccpm:utils:report personal-project
# Shows all migrated items organized

# 4. Continue with spec workflow
/ccpm:spec:sync WORK-102
/ccpm:spec:break-down WORK-103
```

### Use Case 3: Daily Development

**Morning:**
```bash
/ccpm:utils:report personal-project
# Shows: 5 active tasks, 2 blocked, 3 in verification

/ccpm:utils:help WORK-150
# Suggests: Continue with /ccpm:implementation:next WORK-150
```

**During Work:**
```bash
/ccpm:implementation:next WORK-150
# AI: Next task is Task 3 (no dependencies, ready)

/ccpm:spec:sync WORK-150
# Drift Score: 15% (minor - API signature changed)
# Updates spec to match
```

**End of Day:**
```bash
/ccpm:verification:check WORK-150
# All checks pass

/ccpm:complete:finalize WORK-150
# Creates PR, updates Jira (with confirmation)
```
