Use when authoring rig specs, agent specs, workflow specs, startup/context fragments, operating-mode declarations, or designing the user spec library. Covers the 4 failure modes (spec instantiates topology but not workflow/mode; spec depends on local paths and fails on another host; agents modify specs as one-off files instead of preserving reusable intent; validation proves YAML shape but not whether topology can run) and the validation-vs-runtime-realization distinction.

# Specification System

The declarative primitive family for OpenRig intent: **rig specs, agent
specs, workflow specs, startup/context fragments, operating-mode
declarations, and the user spec library that stores and reuses them.**

Specs are how humans and agents describe **repeatable topology and
behavior** without re-explaining it in chat. They are also shareable
artifacts: a user should be able to publish a spec or spec family so
another user can instantiate the same rig shape, role structure, or
workflow pattern.

**Without a dependable spec primitive, OpenRig depends on manual
startup prompts and tribal memory.** That blocks repeatability, product
