presets/lean/README.md
A minimal preset that strips the Spec Kit workflow down to its essentials — just the prompt, just the artifact.
Use Lean when you want the structured specify → plan → tasks → implement pipeline without the ceremony of the full templates. Each command produces a single focused Markdown file with no boilerplate sections to fill in.
| Command | Output | Description |
|---|---|---|
speckit.specify | spec.md | Create a specification from a feature description |
speckit.plan | plan.md | Create an implementation plan from the spec |
speckit.tasks | tasks.md | Create dependency-ordered tasks from spec and plan |
speckit.implement | (code) | Execute all tasks in order, marking progress |
speckit.constitution | constitution.md | Create or update the project constitution |
Lean overrides the five core workflow commands with self-contained prompts that produce each artifact directly — no separate template files involved. The result is a shorter, more direct workflow.
# Lean is a bundled preset — no download needed
specify preset add lean
# Test from local directory
specify preset add --dev ./presets/lean
# Verify commands resolve
