Systematic workflow for identifying missing features, prioritizing them

gen-specs-as-issues is an agent skill from the github/awesome-copilot collection that guides a product manager through identifying missing features, prioritizing them and writing them up as GitHub issue specifications. It runs in five phases. The first is project understanding, in which the agent reviews the project structure, reads the README and other documentation, and finds the entry points, core modules, tests and placeholder implementations, so it knows what the product does now. The second is gap analysis, which compares what the documentation promises with what is implemented. The third is prioritization scoring, which ranks the gaps so the most valuable come first. The fourth is specification development, which writes a detailed specification for each feature. The fifth is issue creation. The guiding questions ask about the project's purpose, the user problems it solves and the patterns in its current code. The skill is useful for product managers and founders who want an honest list of what a project is missing. The scores depend on judgments about value and effort, so the prioritization should be agreed with the people who will build the work. Creating issues changes the project's tracker, so the team should confirm the repository and the list before the issues are created. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the github/awesome-copilot repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 8.8K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.
