Spec-Driven Development for Cursor IDE

Create specifications before code. Plan-approve-execute for all operations.

[Quick Start](#quick-start) • [Commands](#commands) • [Subagents & Skills](#subagents--skills) • [Contributing](#contributing)

What's New in v4.1

Native Subagents - 6 specialized agents for parallel execution (no MCP required)
Folder-Based Skills - Progressive loading with references, scripts, and assets
Automatic Verification - sdd-verifier runs after every implementation
Cursor 2.4+ Optimized - Full subagent and skill support

Quick Start

```bash

# Clone

git clone https://github.com/madebyaris/spec-kit-command-cursor.git

# Quick planning (80% of features)

/brief user-auth JWT authentication with login/logout

# Full project roadmap with parallel execution

/sdd-full-plan blog-platform Full-featured blog with CMS

# Execute tasks in parallel

/execute-parallel blog-platform

```

Subagents & Skills

Subagents (`.cursor/agents/`)

Specialized agents with isolated context for parallel execution:

| Subagent | Model | Purpose |

|----------|-------|---------|

| sdd-explorer | fast | Codebase discovery |

| sdd-planner | inherit | Architecture design |

| sdd-implementer | inherit | Code generation |

| sdd-verifier | fast | Validation after implementation |

| sdd-reviewer | fast | Security & performance review |

| sdd-orchestrator | inherit | Parallel task coordination |

Skills (`.cursor/skills/`)

Auto-invoked domain knowledge packages:

| Skill | Auto-Invoke When |

|-------|------------------|

| sdd-research | Technical approach unclear |

| sdd-planning | Spec exists, need plan |

| sdd-implementation | Plan ready for execution |

| sdd-audit | Code review requested |

| sdd-evolve | Discoveries during development |

Workflows

Quick Planning (80% of features)

```

/brief → /evolve → /refine

```

Full Planning (complex features)

```

/research → /specify → /plan → /tasks → /implement
