# SpecScore Features

Core features of the SpecScore specification framework:

| Feature | Status | Description |
|---------|--------|-------------|
| [feature](/feature-specification.md) | Stable | Feature specification structure, metadata, lifecycle, and conventions |
| [acceptance-criteria](/acceptance-criteria-specification.md) | Stable | Acceptance criteria format and conventions |
| [requirement](requirement/README.md) | Stable | Discrete testable rules within feature Behavior sections |
| [scenario](scenario/README.md) | Stable | Concrete Given/When/Then behavior examples in `_tests/` directories |
| [source-references](/source-references-specification.md) | Stable | Code-to-spec traceability via inline annotations |
| [plan](/plan-specification.md) | Stable | Planning documents that bridge specs to execution |
| [task](/task-specification.md) | Stable | Discrete units of work within a plan |
| [project-definition](/project-definition-specification.md) | Stable | SpecScore project configuration and root structure |

## Integration with Orchestration Tools

SpecScore specs are format-agnostic. These features define the mental model and conventions:

- **Standalone:** Use SpecScore specs with any orchestration tool (Linear, Jira, custom)
- **With Rehearse:** Add automated testing and validation to SpecScore specs
- **With Synchestra:** Add multi-agent orchestration and coordination

See [synchestra.io](https://synchestra.io) for orchestration on top of SpecScore.
