Documentation

README

Excerpt

Extracting Requirements

Overview

Reads arbitrary human spec collateral and produces two artifact sets:

Per-epic requirement files in docs/superpowers/iterations/requirements/ — story cards with proof obligations per AC
Behavior scenarios in docs/superpowers/iterations/behavior-scenarios.md — reusable observable-behavior contracts with stable IDs

Uses a chunking + parallel-dispatch + aggregation pipeline so that no single agent holds the entire spec in context. Handles specs from a single page up to ~100K tokens across dozens of files.

When to Use

Invoked by iterative-development during bootstrap, or standalone when you need to regenerate requirements from human spec collateral.
