Roadmap

Speck is actively evolving. This page outlines what we’re working on, what’s planned, and how you can help shape the future of specification-driven development.

Current Focus

Hook System & Performance (In Progress)

  • PrePromptSubmit hook for automatic prerequisite validation
  • Context pre-loading for faster command execution
  • Sub-100ms hook latency target

Worktree Integration (Beta)

  • Automatic worktree creation for each feature
  • IDE auto-launch with session handoff
  • Dependency auto-installation

Planned Enhancements

Near Term

  • Speck CLI - Standalone CLI for use outside Claude Code
  • Task Dependencies - Automatic dependency ordering in tasks.md
  • Progress Tracking - Visual progress indicators for multi-step implementations

Medium Term

  • GitHub Integration - Convert tasks to GitHub Issues automatically
  • Team Collaboration - Shared spec libraries and team constitutions
  • IDE Extensions - VS Code extension for spec visualization

Longer Term

  • AI-Assisted Reviews - Automated spec quality checks
  • Template Marketplace - Community-contributed spec templates
  • Analytics Dashboard - Track specification-to-implementation metrics

Under Consideration

Ideas we’re evaluating based on community feedback:

  • Multi-language Support - Constitutions in different programming paradigms
  • CI/CD Integration - Spec validation in build pipelines
  • Conflict Resolution - Better handling of spec conflicts in multi-repo
  • Versioned Specs - Track spec evolution over time
