Using Commands
ADLC provides slash commands you invoke directly in Claude Code. Type /command-name in the chat.
SpecKit Workflow (Feature Lifecycle)
The core development workflow follows a linear pipeline:
/speckit.specify → /speckit.plan → /speckit.tasks → /speckit.implement → /speckit.retrospective
| Command | What It Does | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
/speckit.specify | Create feature spec from natural language | Starting a new feature |
/speckit.clarify | Ask 5 targeted questions to fill spec gaps | Spec feels underspecified |
/speckit.plan | Generate implementation plan from spec | Ready to design |
/speckit.tasks | Break plan into dependency-ordered tasks | Ready to build |
/speckit.implement | Execute all tasks from tasks.md | Ready to code |
/speckit.analyze | Cross-artifact consistency check | After task generation |
/speckit.checklist | Generate custom quality checklist | Before release |
/speckit.retrospective | Session reflection + memory feedback | End of session |
/speckit.improve | 6-phase config improvement cycle | Periodic optimization |

Tips
- Commands auto-load context via MANIFEST.json trigger patterns
- Infrastructure commands require the relevant agent (infrastructure-engineer, kubernetes-engineer)
- All commands produce evidence in
tmp/<project>/ - Use
/speckit.retrospectiveat session end to capture learnings
