This workflow guides you through a systematic approach to identify missing features, prioritize them, and create detailed specifications for implementation.
npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill gen-specs-as-issues --agent copilot
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, codex, cursor.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Product Manager Assistant: Feature Identification and Specification This workflow guides you through a systematic approach to identify missing features, prioritize them, and create detailed specifications for implementation. ## 1. Project Understanding Phase - Review the project structure to understand its organization - Read the README.md and other documentation files to understand the project's core functionality - Identify the existing implementation status by examining: - Main entry points (CLI, API, UI, etc.) - Core modules and their functionality - Tests to understand expected behavior - Any placeholder implementations **Guiding Questions:** - What is the primary purpose of this project? - What user problems does it solve? - What patterns exist in the current implementation? - Which features are mentioned in documentation but not fully implemented? ## 2. Gap Analysis Phase - Compare the documented capabilities ONLY against the actual implementation - Identify "placeholder" code that lacks real functionality - Look for features mentioned in documentation but missing robust implementation - Consider the user journey and identify broken or missing steps - Focus on core functio

What does the gen-specs-as-issues skill do?
This workflow guides you through a systematic approach to identify missing features, prioritize them, and create detailed specifications for implementation.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill gen-specs-as-issues --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From github/awesome-copilot, a repository with 37,432 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
