Individual skill
absolute-spec
Lightweight standalone design spec for AI coding agents: codebase scan → bounded clarify pass (3–5 questions, not a grill) → reviewed design doc written to docs/plans/ → independent scored review → stop. No task board, no build. Use when you want a spec to discuss, hand off, or review before committing to implementation. Chains into absolute-work when ready to build. Triggers on "absolute spec", "write a spec", "spec out this feature", "draft a design doc", "I want a spec to hand off / review, don't build it yet".

## Absolute Spec
Absolute Spec turns a fuzzy intent into a **reviewed design-spec document** — then
stops. It is the planning artifact of `work`, lifted out of the full lifecycle: scan
the codebase, ask only the questions the code can't answer, write the spec, run an
independent scored review, and hand back a doc you can discuss, hand off, or feed into
`/absolute work` to build.
It is deliberately **lightweight**. No relentless interview, no task board, no
decompose, no execution. One deliverable: a spec good enough that an unfamiliar
developer could build from it.
