Individual skill
spec
Turn a vague feature or product idea into an agreed, persisted specification through relentless structured questioning. Never assumes — every gap, ambiguity, or "probably" becomes a question to the developer, and the spec cannot be approved while open questions remain. Produces docs/specs/<NNN>-<slug>.md with acceptance criteria that /plan, /scaffold, and /tdd consume. Use when: "spec", "write a spec", "spec this out", "requirements", "PRD", "acceptance criteria", "define the feature", "user stories", "what should we build", or before planning any feature too big to describe in one sentence.

# /spec — Relentless Specification Workflow
## What
Converts an idea into a written, versioned specification that both the developer
and Claude explicitly agree on — before any planning or code. The contract:
- **Never assume.** Every gap in the idea becomes a question. If Claude catches
itself thinking "probably", "presumably", or "the usual way" — that thought is
a question to ask, not a decision to make.
- **Relentless, but structured.** Questions come in focused rounds (3–5 at a
time) across nine dimensions — not one overwhelming dump, and not a single
polite round that stops early.
- **Agreement is explicit.** Specs have a status lifecycle: Draft → In Review →
