SpecThread

Every requirement, traced to the evidence behind it.

SpecThread links each requirement to the issues, pull requests, commits, checks, and releases that implement it. A reviewer reads one thread and makes the call.

ABOUT

Requirements connected to the evidence that implements them.

SpecThread connects software requirements to inspectable implementation evidence: GitHub issues, pull requests, commits, automated checks, and releases.

The problem

A board can show that a task moved to “Done”, but not which code implemented the requirement, which checks ran, or whether it reached a release.

Who it is for

Small software teams, the project managers and clients who need a readable view of progress, and the developers and reviewers who need direct links to evidence.

People decide

SpecThread keeps the evidence inspectable in one thread. Links can be suggested, but an authorized reviewer makes every acceptance decision.

HOW IT WORKS

“Done” on a board is a status. SpecThread shows the work.

01

Write the requirement

State what was requested and the acceptance criteria that would show it works.

02

Link the work

Connect a GitHub repository. Link the issue and pull requests; commits and checks that reference them come along.

03

Review the thread

Evidence lands in one chronological thread. A reviewer accepts, rejects, or asks for more.
