name: multi-project-spec-mapper
description: Intelligent multi-project specification splitting that maps user stories to correct projects (FE, BE, MOBILE, INFRA). Use when working with multiple JIRA/GitHub projects, microservices architecture, or brownfield projects with multiple teams. Analyzes content and tech stack for automatic classification.

# Multi-Project Spec Mapper - Intelligent Project Organization
**Purpose**: Automatically detect multiple projects in SpecWeave setup, analyze user stories to map them to the correct project (FE, BE, MOBILE, INFRA), and organize specs into project-specific folders with proper JIRA/GitHub sync.
**When to Use**:
- User has multiple JIRA projects configured (e.g., FE, BE, MOBILE)
- User has multiple GitHub repos to sync
- Brownfield projects with multiple teams/services
- Microservices architecture with separate frontend/backend/mobile codebases
- Need to split monolithic spec into project-specific specs
**Key Capabilities**:
1. ✅ **Intelligent Project Detection** - Analyze config.json to detect multi-project setup
2. ✅ **User Story Classification** - Map user stories to projects based on keywords, tech stack, components
3. ✅ **Spec Splitting** - Split monolithic specs into project-specific files
4. ✅ **Folder Organization** - Create `specs/FE/`, `specs/BE/`, `specs/MOBILE/` structure
5. ✅ **JIRA Item Type Mapping** - Suggest Epic/Story/Task hierarchy based on scope
6. ✅ **Bidirectional Sync** - Configure hooks for GitHub/JIRA sync per project

## How It Works
### Step 1: Detect Multi-Project Setup
**Check config.json** for:
```json
{
"sync": {
"profiles": {
"jira-default": {
"provider": "jira",
"config": {
"domain": "company.atlassian.net",
"projects": ["FE", "BE", "MOBILE"] // ← Multiple projects!
}
}
}
}
}
```
**If multiple projects found** → Activate multi-project mode
---
### Step 2: Analyze User Stories
For each user story, analyze:
- **Keywords**: "UI", "chart", "API", "mobile", "database", "deployment"
- **Tech Stack**: "React", "Node.js", "React Native", "PostgreSQL", "Kubernetes"
- **Components**: "component", "service", "screen", "controller", "pipeline"
**Example**:
```
US-001: Log a Workout (Web UI)
→ Keywords: "UI", "web", "chart"
→ Tech: "React"
→ Project: FE (90% confidence)
US-002: View Workout History (API)
→ Keywords: "API", "endpoint", "database"
→ Tech: "Node.js", "PostgreSQL"
→ Project: BE (95% confidence)
US-005: Cross-Platform Data Sync (Mobile)
→ Keywords: "mobile", "offline", "sync"
→ Tech: "React Native"
→ Project: MOBILE (100% confidence)
```
---
### Step 3: Create Project-Specific Specs
**Folder Structure**:
```
.specweave/docs/internal/specs/
├── FE/
│ ├── spec-0001-fitness-tracker-web.md
│ └── README.md
├── BE/
│ ├── spec-0001-fitness-tracker-api.md
│ └── README.md
├── MOBILE/
│ ├── spec-0001-fitness-tracker-mobile.md
│ └── README.md
└── SHARED/
├── spec-0001-fitness-tracker-shared.md (cross-cutting concerns)
└── README.md
```
**spec.md YAML Frontmatter (MANDATORY)**:
```yaml
# For 1-level structure (projects only)
---
increment: 0001-fitness-tracker-web
project: FE # REQUIRED
title: "Fitness Tracker Web UI"
status: planned
---
# For 2-level structure (projects + boards)
---
increment: 0001-fitness-tracker-web
project: acme-corp # REQUIRED
board: digital-operations # REQUIRED for 2-level
title: "Fitness Tracker Web UI"
status: planned
---
```
**Detection**: Use `detectStructureLevel()` from `src/utils/structure-level-detector.ts`
**Each spec contains**:
- YAML frontmatter with `project:` (and `board:` for 2-level) fields - MANDATORY
- User stories mapped to that project
- Project-specific acceptance criteria
- Links to shared infrastructure/requirements
---
### Step 4: JIRA Sync with Project Mapping
**Hierarchical JIRA Structure**:
```
JIRA Project: FE
├── Epic: Fitness Tracker Web UI (SPEC-0001)
│ ├── Story: US-001: Log a Workout
│ │ ├── Task: T-001: Create Workout Form Component
│ │ ├── Task: T-002: Implement Exercise Search
│ │ └── Task: T-003: Add Set Logging UI
│ └── Story: US-004: Track Progress with Charts
│ ├── Task: T-010: Integrate Recharts Library
│ └── Task: T-011: Create Chart Components
JIRA Project: BE
├── Epic: Fitness Tracker API Backend (SPEC-0001)
│ ├── Story: US-002: View Workout History (API)
│ │ ├── Task: T-004: Create GET /api/workouts Endpoint
│ │ ├── Task: T-005: Implement Filtering Logic
│ │ └── Task: T-006: Add Pagination
│ └── Story: US-003: Manage Exercise Library (API)
│ ├── Task: T-007: Create Exercise CRUD Endpoints
│ └── Task: T-008: Implement Search
JIRA Project: MOBILE
├── Epic: Fitness Tracker Mobile App (SPEC-0001)
└── Story: US-005: Cross-Platform Data Sync
├── Task: T-012: Implement Offline Mode (AsyncStorage)
├── Task: T-013: Create Sync Queue
└── Task: T-014: Handle Conflict Resolution
```
---
### Step 5: Configure Bidirectional Sync
**GitHub Hooks** (`.specweave/config.json`):
```json
{
"hooks": {
"post_task_completion": {
"sync_living_docs": true,
"external_tracker_sync": true
}
},
"sync": {
"enabled": true,
"activeProfile": "jira-default",
"settings": {
"autoCreateIssue": true,
"syncDirection": "bidirectional",
"projectMapping": {
"FE": {
"jiraProject": "FE",
"jiraBoards": [123],
"githubRepo": "company/frontend-web"
},
"BE": {
"jiraProject": "BE",
"jiraBoards": [456],
"githubRepo": "company/backend-api"
},
"MOBILE": {
"jiraProject": "MOBILE",
"jiraBoards": [789],
"githubRepo": "company/mobile-app"
}
}
}
}
}
```

Based on: Increment 0020-multi-project-intelligent-sync
This skill provides intelligent multi-project specification splitting that maps user stories to the correct project (FE, BE, MOBILE, INFRA). It detects multi-project setups, classifies user stories using keywords and tech-stack signals, and generates project-specific spec files and folder structure ready for JIRA/GitHub sync. Use it to organize monolithic specs into clear, team-aligned artifacts across microservices or brownfield environments.
The skill inspects config.json to detect multiple projects and activates multi-project mode when more than one project is configured. It analyzes each user story for keywords, referenced technologies, and component names to assign a project with a confidence score. Then it generates project-specific spec files with mandatory YAML frontmatter, organizes them into a standardized folder tree (FE, BE, MOBILE, INFRA, SHARED), and outputs suggested JIRA item hierarchies and sync mappings for bidirectional GitHub/JIRA integration.
How does the skill decide project assignment?
It scores stories using keyword matches, referenced tech stacks, and component names, then assigns the highest-confidence project above a configurable threshold.
What if a story applies to multiple projects?
The skill can mark items as SHARED and produce links from each project spec; you can also manually reassign ambiguous stories before syncing.
