specrate

What it does

This skill manages specifications (specs) and associated change requests within a system that utilizes SpecRate for document control. It allows users to create, track, and update specifications while ensuring proper versioning and audit trails of any modifications made. The skill facilitates collaboration around specs by providing tools for requesting changes and managing their approval process.

When to use it

• Reviewing an existing specification document for accuracy and completeness before a product launch.
• Submitting a change request to update a spec due to newly discovered requirements or design flaws.
• Tracking the status of a pending change request, including approvals and comments.
• Auditing changes made to a specification over time to understand its evolution.

Key capabilities

• Creation of new specifications within SpecRate-managed documents.
• Submission of change requests related to existing specifications.
• Tracking the status (e.g., pending, approved, rejected) of change requests.
• Management and versioning of specification documents.

Example prompts

• "Create a new spec for the 'Widget X' component."
• "Submit a change request to update section 3.2 of the 'System Architecture' specification."
• "Show me the status of change request #12789."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is specifically designed for use with documents managed by SpecRate. It will not function correctly outside of that environment and requires access to a SpecRate instance.
