name: multi-project-spec-mapper description: Intelligent multi-project specification splitting and organization. Analyzes user stories to map them to correct projects (FE, BE, MOBILE, INFRA) based on content, tech stack, and component architecture. Creates project-specific folder structure and splits monolithic specs. Activates for multi-project JIRA/GitHub setups, brownfield projects with multiple teams, microservices architecture.

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:
- ✅ Intelligent Project Detection - Analyze config.json to detect multi-project setup
- ✅ User Story Classification - Map user stories to projects based on keywords, tech stack, components
- ✅ Spec Splitting - Split monolithic specs into project-specific files
- ✅ Folder Organization - Create
specs/FE/,specs/BE/,specs/MOBILE/structure - ✅ JIRA Item Type Mapping - Suggest Epic/Story/Task hierarchy based on scope
- ✅ Bidirectional Sync - Configure hooks for GitHub/JIRA sync per project
How It Works
Step 1: Detect Multi-Project Setup
Check config.json for:
{
"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 (v0.31.0+ MANDATORY):
# 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:(andboard: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

└── Task: T-014: Handle Conflict Resolution
Step 5: Configure Bidirectional Sync

}
},

"enabled": true,
"activeProfile": "jira-default",
"settings": {
"autoCreateIssue": true,
"syncDirection": "bidirectional",
"projectMapping": {
"FE": {
"jiraProject": "FE",

},
"MOBILE": {
"jiraProject": "MOBILE",
"jiraBoards": [789],
