Feature Request: Enhanced CLI with New Workflow Commands

Overview

Enhance the Specify CLI with new orchestrated workflow commands that automate complex development processes and provide seamless integration between different phases of spec-driven development.

Current State

• Basic CLI commands exist but lack orchestration capabilities
• No support for complex workflow automation
• Missing integration between different development phases

Proposed Features

1. Feature Workflow Orchestration

• feature-workflow Command: Automate end-to-end feature development
• Specification Generation: Automated spec creation and validation
• Clarification Process: Interactive clarification and refinement
• Planning Integration: Seamless transition from spec to plan
• Task Generation: Automatic task breakdown and assignment

2. MVP-to-Full Transition Commands

• mvp-to-full Command: Orchestrate transition from MVP to full product
• Analysis Phase: Comprehensive project state analysis
• Gap Identification: Identify missing components and features
• Planning Phase: Generate detailed transition plans
• Implementation Guidance: Step-by-step implementation instructions

3. Enhanced CLI Functionality

• Workflow Integration: Seamless integration between different commands
• Progress Tracking: Track progress across different workflow phases
• State Management: Maintain project state across workflow steps
• Error Handling: Robust error handling and recovery

Benefits

• Automated Workflows: Reduce manual work in complex processes
• Consistent Processes: Standardized approaches across projects
• Better Integration: Seamless flow between different development phases
• Improved Productivity: Faster development cycles with automation

Implementation Details

• Add new CLI commands for workflow orchestration
• Implement workflow state management
• Create integration points between different phases
• Add comprehensive error handling and validation

Workflow Commands

1. Feature Workflow: specify feature-workflow <feature-name>
2. MVP Transition: specify mvp-to-full <project-path>
3. State Analysis: specify analyze-state <project-path>
4. Workflow Status: specify workflow-status <project-path>

Use Cases

• Feature Development: Complete feature lifecycle automation
• Project Scaling: MVP to full product transitions
• Team Onboarding: Standardized processes for new team members
• Quality Assurance: Consistent quality across projects

This enhancement transforms the CLI from a collection of individual commands into a powerful orchestration platform for spec-driven development.

Implementation Details

Feature Idea: I came up with the idea for enhanced CLI with new workflow commands to automate complex development processes and provide seamless integration between different phases of spec-driven development.

Implementation: The feature was implemented using VS Code + GitHub Copilot + Claude Sonnet 4 model to create the enhanced CLI functionality with workflow orchestration capabilities.

This seems AI-generated with no direct outline of the problem or verification of how this was tested and validated. Please re-open the issue if you've verified that this behavior exists in Specify - mention your OS, how you're running Specify (arguments, slash-commands in IDE/CLI) and what is the output tree.

Great to hear this is already implemented — I’m looking forward to testing it once it’s released!
