Advanced Spec & Plan Generation

Feature Request: Advanced Spec & Plan Generation

Problem Description

Starting from zero is hard ("Blank Page Problem"). Also, high-level specs often need to be broken down into detailed implementation plans before coding, a step currently done manually or implicitly by AI.

Proposed Solution

1. Spec Generation from Code: Reverse-engineer initial specs from existing code (Brownfield support).
2. Plan Generator & Phases: Convert high-level specs into structured, ordered implementation plans (Decomposition). Support multi-phase workflows.
3. Spec Templates: Boilerplate specs for common patterns (CRUD, Auth, REST API).

Benefits

• Faster onboarding for existing projects.
• More robust execution by planning before coding.
• Standardization of common features.

Industry Inspiration

• Traycer: "Structured Task/Plan Generation" - breaking high-level tasks into file-level steps.
