feature-analyzer — Claude Code command: designs and specs
This command turns a feature idea into an agreed design and specification through dialogue. Use it before implementation or major changes.
npx claude-code-templates@latest --command orchestration/feature-analyzerWhat feature-analyzer does
feature-analyzer guides a request through a discovery phase. It creates a task list, asks about the problem, expected behavior, constraints, and requirements when the idea is unclear, then summarizes its understanding for confirmation.
Next, the command invokes the feature-design-assistant skill through the Skill tool and follows that skill’s process. Its declared tools include Read, Write, Grep, Glob, Bash, TodoWrite, AskUserQuestion, and Task. For a major change, this is a sensible first step because the design is discussed before implementation begins.
