| When asked to /pspec.audit, audit and sync a feature-spec directory against its PRD. | ||
| This command updates planning artifacts only. It must not implement product code. | ||
| ## Purpose | ||
| Use this command when a PRD changed after planning, when feature spec files drift from `PROGRESS.md`, or when you need to confirm the plan is still complete before implementation continues. | ||
| Use this command when a PRD changed after planning, when feature spec files drift from PROGRESS.md, or when you need to confirm the plan is still complete before implementation continues. | ||
| ## Phase 1 - Load | ||
| 1. Resolve the feature-spec directory in `.pspec/tasks/`. If the user passes `PROGRESS.md`, use its directory. If they pass a directory, use it directly. If unspecified, use the most recently updated feature-spec directory. | ||
| 2. Read `PROGRESS.md` first. Parse its YAML frontmatter. | ||
| 3. Read the PRD file referenced by `PROGRESS.md`. Extract every `AC-*` and `EC-*` ID. If the PRD file cannot be read or does not contain these IDs, stop and report it. | ||
| 4. Enumerate the feature spec files in the directory matching `<2-digit-id>-<slug>.md` and sort them in numeric order. | ||
| 1. Resolve the feature-spec directory in `.pspec/tasks/`. If the user passes PROGRESS.md, use its directory. If a directory, use it directly. If unspecified, use the most recently updated directory. | ||
| 2. Read PROGRESS.md. Parse frontmatter. | ||
| 3. Read `.pspec/CONTEXT.md` when present for project context and conventions. | ||
| 4. Read the PRD. Extract all AC-* and EC-* IDs. If unreadable or missing IDs, stop. | ||
| 5. Enumerate feature spec files matching `<NN>-<slug>.md`, sorted numerically. | ||
| ## Phase 2 - Audit | ||
| 5. Compare the feature spec files to the `## Feature Specs` list in `PROGRESS.md`: | ||
| - every listed feature spec file exists | ||
| - every feature spec file is listed exactly once | ||
| - filename, id, and title match between `PROGRESS.md` and each feature spec file | ||
| 6. Read the `## Coverage Map` in `PROGRESS.md` and verify: | ||
| - every `AC-*` and `EC-*` from the PRD appears at least once | ||
| - every mapped feature spec file exists | ||
| - every feature spec file frontmatter `spec_ref` uses only IDs that exist in the PRD | ||
| - at most one feature spec is marked `[>]` | ||
| - if `## Active Work` points to a feature spec, that file exists and matches the sole `[>]` entry | ||
| 7. For each feature spec file, verify that all required sections exist: | ||
| - `# Goal` | ||
| - `## Requirement Coverage` | ||
| - `## Files` | ||
| - `## Data Model` | ||
| - `## API Contracts` | ||
| - `## UI States` | ||
| - `## User Interactions` | ||
| - `## Data Test IDs` | ||
| - `## Edge Cases` | ||
| - `## Approach` | ||
| - `## Verification` | ||
| - `## Definition Of Done` | ||
| 8. Check for placeholder text in `PROGRESS.md` and feature spec files. Treat these as invalid planning output: | ||
| - `<...>` placeholders | ||
| - `TBD` | ||
| - `TODO` | ||
| - `FIXME` | ||
| - `later` | ||
| - `to be decided` | ||
| 6. Registry parity: | ||
| - every Registry row matches a real feature spec file (id, filename, title) | ||
| - every feature spec file has a Registry row | ||
| 7. Coverage parity: | ||
| - every AC-* and EC-* from the PRD appears in Coverage table | ||
| - every spec in Coverage table exists in Registry | ||
| - every spec_ref in feature spec frontmatter uses only PRD IDs | ||
| 7. Active section: | ||
| - at most one row has status `active` | ||
| - Active section matches the `active` row (or is idle if none) | ||
| 8. Feature spec structure: | ||
| - every file has: Goal, Contracts, Files, Actions, Validates, Done | ||
| - every feature spec has: config block, state block, allowlist block | ||
| - every action has a unique id, a tool, and args | ||
| - every validate has a unique id, a tool, args, and expect | ||
| - every decision has a unique id, a question, and at least 2 options | ||
| - every API contract row has all 5 columns | ||
| - every Files row has action|path|description | ||
| 9. Block validation: | ||
| - config block exists with name and version | ||
| - all action.depends_on reference existing action ids | ||
| - no cycles in the depends_on graph | ||
| - all action.tool values exist in config.tools | ||
| - all validate.tool values exist in config.tools | ||
| - all allowlist entries have tool and allow fields | ||
| - all decision.other_validation rules have type and message | ||
| 10. Placeholder detection: no <...>, TBD, TODO, FIXME, "to be decided". | ||
| ## Phase 3 - Sync Plan Artifacts | ||
| ## Phase 3 - Sync | ||
| 9. If the PRD changed, update the planning artifacts so the feature-spec directory matches the PRD again. | ||
| 10. Sync rules: | ||
| - keep valid feature spec files when they still cover the right requirements | ||
| - update `PROGRESS.md` task registry, `## Active Work`, coverage map, and shared context when needed | ||
| - update feature spec file `spec_ref`, `## Requirement Coverage`, and other planning sections when they drift from the PRD | ||
| - create new feature spec files when new `AC-*` or `EC-*` requirements are uncovered | ||
| - remove stale requirement references that no longer exist in the PRD | ||
| 11. Preserve completed work when it is still valid: | ||
| - if a feature spec is marked `[x]` and still matches the PRD, keep it complete | ||
| - if a feature spec is marked `[>]` and still matches the PRD, keep it in progress and preserve or refresh its resume note | ||
| - if a feature spec is marked `[>]` but its requirement coverage or plan contract changed materially, downgrade it to `[ ]` and clear or update `## Active Work` | ||
| - if a feature spec is marked `[x]` but its requirement coverage or plan contract changed materially, downgrade it to `[ ]` and add a short note in `PROGRESS.md` | ||
| - if a feature spec is marked `[~]`, keep the blocked note unless the drift resolution clearly removes the blocker | ||
| 12. Renumber feature spec files only when required to restore deterministic numeric order. Minimize renames when possible. | ||
| 13. Do not change application source code, tests, or runtime configuration. Only update `PROGRESS.md` and feature spec files in the feature-spec directory. | ||
| 11. If PRD changed, update artifacts: | ||
| - keep specs that still cover correct requirements | ||
| - update Registry, Active, Coverage, context when needed | ||
| - update spec_ref and Contracts when they drift | ||
| - create new specs for new AC-*/EC-* | ||
| - remove stale requirement references | ||
| - refresh PROGRESS.md frontmatter context from CONTEXT.md and AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md when present | ||
| 12. Preserve valid work: | ||
| - `done` + still valid → keep done | ||
| - `active` + still valid → keep active, preserve resume note | ||
| - `active` + materially changed → downgrade to `pending`, update Active | ||
| - `done` + materially changed → downgrade to `pending`, add note | ||
| - `blocked` → keep unless drift resolves the blocker | ||
| 13. Minimize file renames. Renumber only when order is broken. | ||
| ## Phase 4 - Fail Closed | ||
| 14. After syncing, run the audit again and confirm all of these are true: | ||
| - `PROGRESS.md` and feature spec files agree | ||
| - `## Active Work` matches the in-progress state or is idle when no feature spec is `[>]` | ||
| - every `AC-*` and `EC-*` is mapped in `## Coverage Map` | ||
| - every feature spec file has all required sections | ||
| - API work defines endpoints with request and response shapes | ||
| - web work defines UI states, user interactions and outcomes, and `data-testid` values up front | ||
| - no placeholder text remains | ||
| 15. If any of these checks still fail, stop and report the remaining mismatch. Do not claim the plan is synced. | ||
| 14. Re-run audit after sync. Verify: | ||
| - [ ] Registry and feature spec files agree | ||
| - [ ] Active section matches in-progress state or is idle | ||
| - [ ] Coverage table maps every AC-* and EC-* | ||
| - [ ] Every feature spec has required sections and blocks | ||
| - [ ] All action, decision, and validate blocks pass structure validation | ||
| - [ ] No placeholder text | ||
| 15. If any check fails, stop and report. Do not claim synced. | ||

| You are a Senior Software Engineer using the pspec framework. | ||
| When asked to /pspec.implement, treat the task directory as a feature-spec directory and work as an orchestrator that spawns subagents for each feature spec. | ||
| When asked to /pspec.implement, execute an orchestrator loop that dispatches one subagent per feature spec. | ||
| ## Prerequisite - Validate Task Directory Exists | ||
| ## Prerequisite | ||
| Before starting any phase, validate the input: | ||
| - If no task name, directory, or PROGRESS.md path is provided as an argument, stop and report: "Usage: `/pspec.implement <task-path>`. Provide a task directory from `.pspec/tasks/`." | ||
| - If a PROGRESS.md path is given, verify the file exists. | ||
| - If a directory is given, verify it contains `PROGRESS.md`. | ||
| - If a task name is given, check `.pspec/tasks/<name>/PROGRESS.md`. | ||
| - If the path does not exist, stop and report: "Task directory not found: `<path>`. Run `/pspec.plan` first to create it." | ||
| - Do not proceed to Phase 1 or attempt to generate any content without a confirmed existing task directory. | ||
| - If no path is given, stop: "Usage: `/pspec.implement <task-path>`. Provide a task directory from `.pspec/tasks/`." | ||
| - Resolve: PROGRESS.md path → its directory, directory → check for PROGRESS.md, task name → `.pspec/tasks/<name>/PROGRESS.md`. | ||
| - If not found, stop: "Task directory not found. Run `/pspec.plan` first." | ||
| ## Execution Guardrail | ||
| ## Guardrails | ||
| 1. Run the entire orchestrator loop from Phase 1 through Phase 3 and continue dispatching subagents until the directory is fully complete. | ||
| 2. Do not stop in the middle of the run to hand back a plan, TODO list, checkpoint, or "next steps" when you can still make progress yourself. | ||
| 3. Never tell the user to run `/pspec.implement` again to continue remaining feature specs. If more runnable work remains in the directory, continue dispatching subagents within the same run. | ||
| 4. If a subagent reports a failure, diagnose whether the feature spec is retriable. If retriable, spawn a new subagent for it. If not retriable, mark it `[~]` with the blocker reason and continue with the next eligible feature spec. | ||
| 5. Only stop early when this prompt explicitly tells you to stop for a real blocker, invalid planning artifact, missing required section, or external dependency you cannot resolve. | ||
| 6. Treat `PROGRESS.md` as the resumable write-ahead log and the handoff contract between the orchestrator and subagents. | ||
| 7. Do not leave unfinished implementation behind as `TODO`, `FIXME`, placeholder text, or follow-up markers unless the feature spec explicitly allows it. | ||
| 1. Run the full loop continuously. Do not stop mid-run for checkpoints or TODO lists. | ||
| 2. Never tell the user to rerun `/pspec.implement`. Continue dispatching while runnable work remains. | ||
| 3. PROGRESS.md is the write-ahead log and handoff contract. Persist state before and after every subagent. | ||
| 4. Do not leave TODO/FIXME/placeholder text in implementation. | ||
| 5. Only stop early for: missing required section, unresolvable external dependency, or invalid planning artifact. | ||
| ## Orchestrator Flow | ||
| ## Context Freshness | ||
| The orchestrator does not implement feature specs directly. It coordinates subagents and validates their results. | ||
| Context can rot between planning and implementation. The orchestrator prevents this: | ||
| ### Phase 1 - Load and Audit | ||
| - S1 refreshes PROGRESS.md frontmatter context from disk before dispatching any worker | ||
| - Workers re-read `.pspec/CONTEXT.md` and `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md` fresh at W1 | ||
| - Frontmatter context is advisory — workers must not rely on it as sole truth | ||
| - If CONTEXT.md or AGENTS.md changed since planning, the fresh read at W1 takes precedence | ||
| 1. Resolve the feature-spec directory using the validated path from the prerequisite step. If the user passes `PROGRESS.md`, use its directory. If they pass a directory, use it directly. | ||
| 2. Read `PROGRESS.md` first. Parse its YAML frontmatter before starting any feature spec: | ||
| - use `context.key_files` as the exploration scope | ||
| - follow `context.patterns` for implementation style | ||
| - use `context.commands` for test, lint, and build invocations | ||
| - apply `context.conventions` for naming and export style | ||
| 3. Before any dispatch, read `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` if present. These override `context.conventions` when they conflict. | ||
| 4. Read the PRD file referenced by `PROGRESS.md`. Extract every `AC-*` and `EC-*` ID from the PRD. If the PRD file cannot be read or does not contain these IDs, stop and report it. | ||
| 5. Compare the feature spec files to the `## Feature Specs` list in `PROGRESS.md`: | ||
| - every listed feature spec file exists | ||
| - every feature spec file is listed exactly once | ||
| - filename, id, and title match between `PROGRESS.md` and each feature spec file | ||
| 6. Read the `## Coverage Map` in `PROGRESS.md` and verify: | ||
| - every `AC-*` and `EC-*` from the PRD appears at least once | ||
| - every mapped feature spec file exists | ||
| - every feature spec file frontmatter `spec_ref` uses only IDs that exist in the PRD | ||
| 7. If any directory, registry, coverage, or resume-state mismatch exists, stop and report the first mismatch. Do not guess. | ||
| 8. Determine the next feature spec to dispatch: | ||
| - if exactly one feature spec is marked `[>]`, resume that feature spec | ||
| - if more than one feature spec is marked `[>]`, stop and report it | ||
| - if `## Active Work` points to a feature spec, it must match the sole `[>]` entry | ||
| - if no feature spec is `[>]`, pick the lowest-id `[ ]` feature spec whose `depends_on` entries are all `[x]` | ||
| 9. If no feature spec is eligible and no `[>]` entry exists, the directory is complete. Proceed to Phase 3. | ||
| ## Orchestrator Protocol | ||
| ### Phase 2 - Dispatch Subagents | ||
| ### S1 - Read Context | ||
| 10. For the next eligible feature spec, spawn a subagent with a task prompt constructed as follows: | ||
| - Copy the entire `## Worker Instructions` section below into the task prompt verbatim. | ||
| - Append the feature-spec-specific context: | ||
| - task directory path | ||
| - PROGRESS.md path | ||
| - feature spec filename | ||
| - PRD path | ||
| - key_files from PROGRESS.md frontmatter `context` | ||
| - commands from PROGRESS.md frontmatter `context` | ||
| - conventions from PROGRESS.md frontmatter `context` | ||
| - AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md content summary (if present) | ||
| - The subagent reads all files from disk independently. Do not pass file contents into the task prompt; pass only paths and instructions. | ||
| 11. Wait for the subagent to complete. The subagent must: | ||
| - mark the feature spec `[>]` in `PROGRESS.md` before starting code edits | ||
| - implement the feature spec fully | ||
| - verify and review per the worker instructions | ||
| - mark the feature spec `[x]` in `PROGRESS.md` on success | ||
| - clear `## Active Work` to point to the next eligible feature spec | ||
| - return a compact result to the orchestrator | ||
| 12. After the subagent returns, read `PROGRESS.md` and validate the handoff: | ||
| - If the feature spec is now `[x]`, the subagent succeeded. Proceed to the next eligible feature spec. | ||
| - If the feature spec is still `[>]`, the subagent failed to complete. Do not spawn another subagent for the same task. Report the blocker with the feature spec id and title. | ||
| - If the feature spec is `[~]`, it is blocked. Log the blocker and check whether any other feature spec is still eligible (all dependencies `[x]`). If so, dispatch a subagent for it. If not, proceed to Phase 3. | ||
| 13. If the subagent succeeded and another eligible feature spec remains, immediately spawn a subagent for it. Do not pause to ask the user to continue. | ||
| 14. Only one subagent must be active at a time. Never spawn a new subagent before the previous one has returned. | ||
| 15. Only one feature spec must be marked `[>]` at any time. If `PROGRESS.md` has more than one `[>]` after a subagent returns, stop and report the inconsistency. | ||
| - Read PROGRESS.md. Parse frontmatter context (key_files, patterns, commands, conventions). | ||
| - Read `.pspec/CONTEXT.md` when present. Treat it as the primary source of truth for project context. | ||
| - Read AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md if present (overrides conventions on conflict). | ||
| - Read PRD. Extract all AC-* and EC-* IDs. | ||
| - Refresh PROGRESS.md frontmatter context: overwrite `context` with current values from CONTEXT.md and AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md. This prevents stale context from propagating to workers. | ||
| ### Phase 3 - Close Out | ||
| Gate: PRD readable and has AC-*/EC-* IDs. If not, stop. | ||
| 16. After all feature specs are dispatched and completed (or blocked), run a final closeout audit: | ||
| - no `[ ]` remains in `PROGRESS.md` | ||
| - no `[>]` remains in `PROGRESS.md` | ||
| - every `AC-*` and `EC-*` in `## Coverage Map` is satisfied by one or more `[x]` feature specs | ||
| - no placeholder text like `<...>`, `TBD`, `TODO`, `FIXME`, `later`, or `to be decided` remains in `PROGRESS.md` or feature spec files unless explicitly allowed | ||
| 17. If any `[~]` entries remain, list them with their blocker reasons in the output. | ||
| 18. Do not return `done` while any `[ ]`, `[>]`, or `[~]` remains. | ||
| 19. Return a compact result: | ||
| - completed feature specs | ||
| - files changed (aggregated from subagent results) | ||
| - verification runs and status (aggregated from subagent results) | ||
| - open blockers | ||
| - completion summary keyed by `AC-*` and `EC-*` | ||
| ### S2 - Audit Registry | ||
| ## Worker Instructions | ||
| - Registry rows match real feature spec files (one-to-one on id, filename, title). | ||
| - Coverage table maps every AC-* and EC-* to existing specs. | ||
| - Active section matches sole `active` row in Registry (or is idle if none). | ||
| - At most one row has status `active`. | ||
| The orchestrator copies this entire section into each subagent task prompt. The subagent executes these instructions with fresh context, reading all files from disk independently. | ||
| Gate: zero mismatches. If any, stop and report the first one. | ||
| ### Worker Guardrail | ||
| ### S3 - Pick Next Spec | ||
| - Complete the entire feature spec in one run. Do not stop in the middle to hand back a TODO list, checkpoint, or "next steps" when you can still make progress. | ||
| - Never tell the orchestrator to re-run `/pspec.implement` to continue. If more work remains within this feature spec, keep going. | ||
| - If a check, test, or review step fails, diagnose all identified errors, fix them in a single batch, rerun the affected verification, and keep going. | ||
| - Only stop early when a required section is missing, an external dependency cannot be resolved, or an environment issue blocks verification. In that case, mark the feature spec `[~]` in `PROGRESS.md` with the exact blocker reason and return. | ||
| - Treat `PROGRESS.md` as the resumable write-ahead log. Persist the current phase and next resume step before code edits and after each major checkpoint. | ||
| - Do not leave unfinished implementation behind as `TODO`, `FIXME`, placeholder text, or follow-up markers unless the feature spec explicitly allows it. | ||
| - Before returning, you must update `PROGRESS.md`: mark the feature spec `[x]` on success, `[~]` with blocker reason on failure, and clear `## Active Work` to point to the next eligible feature spec. | ||
| - If a row has status `active`, resume that spec. | ||
| - If multiple rows are `active`, stop and report it. | ||
| - If none active, pick lowest-id `pending` spec whose depends_on are all `done`. | ||
| - If no eligible spec exists, go to S7. | ||
| ### Worker Phase W1 - Load Feature Spec | ||
| ### S4 - Dispatch Subagent | ||
| 1. Read `PROGRESS.md`. Parse its YAML frontmatter: | ||
| - use `context.key_files` as your exploration scope | ||
| - follow `context.patterns` for implementation style | ||
| - use `context.commands` for test, lint, and build invocations | ||
| - apply `context.conventions` for naming and export style | ||
| - read `## Active Work` as the resume checkpoint | ||
| 2. Read `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` if present. These override `context.conventions` when they conflict. | ||
| 3. Read the PRD file referenced by `PROGRESS.md`. Extract every `AC-*` and `EC-*` ID from the PRD. | ||
| 4. Read the assigned feature spec file. Verify it has all required sections: | ||
| - YAML frontmatter with `id`, `title`, `tag`, `spec_ref`, and `depends_on` | ||
| - `# Goal` | ||
| - `## Requirement Coverage` | ||
| - `## Files` | ||
| - `## Data Model` | ||
| - `## API Contracts` | ||
| - `## UI States` | ||
| - `## User Interactions` | ||
| - `## Data Test IDs` | ||
| - `## Edge Cases` | ||
| - `## Approach` | ||
| - `## Verification` | ||
| - `## Definition Of Done` | ||
| 5. If a required section is missing or unclear, stop and report the first missing section. Do not guess. | ||
| 6. Mark the feature spec `[>]` in `PROGRESS.md`. Update `## Active Work` with the current feature spec filename, current phase (`W1 - Load`), and the next resume step. If more than one feature spec is already `[>]`, stop and report the inconsistency. | ||
| - Copy the entire Worker Protocol section below into the task prompt. | ||
| - Append spec-specific context: task dir, PROGRESS.md path, feature spec filename, PRD path, CONTEXT.md path, context from frontmatter. | ||
| - Pass paths only, not file contents. The subagent reads from disk. | ||
| ### Worker Phase W2 - Implement | ||
| ### S5 - Validate Handoff | ||
| 7. Before any code edits, read every file listed under `## Files > ### Reference` in the feature spec. | ||
| 8. Follow the `## Approach` steps in order. | ||
| 9. Create and modify all listed files, including tests and verification artifacts. After each major checkpoint, refresh `## Active Work` in `PROGRESS.md` before continuing: | ||
| - after implementation changes are in place | ||
| - after each verification block succeeds or fails | ||
| - after each review pass completes or finds issues | ||
| 10. Keep implementation aligned with the feature-spec contract: | ||
| - implement all items in `## Data Model` | ||
| - if `## API Contracts` is not `Not applicable`, implement the listed endpoints and request/response shapes | ||
| - if web sections are not `Not applicable`, implement the listed UI states, user interactions, and `data-testid` values exactly as planned | ||
| - Read PROGRESS.md from disk. | ||
| - If spec is `done`: subagent succeeded. Go to S3. | ||
| - If spec is still `active`: subagent failed. Report blocker. Stop. | ||
| - If spec is `blocked`: log blocker. Try S3 for next eligible spec. | ||
| - If more than one row is `active`: stop and report inconsistency. | ||
| ### Worker Phase W3 - Audit Planned Work | ||
| ### S6 - Loop | ||
| 11. Compare the implementation result against the feature spec before verification: | ||
| - every file under `### Create` exists | ||
| - every file under `### Modify` was updated as required | ||
| - every promised test file or verification artifact exists | ||
| - every `spec_ref` ID for the feature spec is addressed by the implemented change | ||
| - every item in `## Requirement Coverage` is reflected in code or tests | ||
| - every planned `data-testid` is present in the implementation and reused in tests when applicable | ||
| 12. If any planned file, artifact, API contract, UI state, interaction, or referenced requirement is missing, fix it before verification. | ||
| - Return to S3. | ||
| ### Worker Phase W4 - Verify And Review | ||
| ### S7 - Close Out | ||
| 13. Run every verification block in `## Verification`: | ||
| - Base case | ||
| - Unit tests | ||
| - Edge cases | ||
| - E2E | ||
| 14. Never claim a verification step passed unless you actually ran it and it succeeded. | ||
| 15. If a verification step fails with multiple errors, diagnose and fix all of them in a single batch, then rerun that step. | ||
| 16. If a verification step cannot run because of an external dependency or environment issue you cannot resolve, mark the feature spec `[~]` in `PROGRESS.md` with the exact reason, update `## Active Work` with the blocker context, and return the blocked status to the orchestrator. | ||
| 17. Do not mark `[x]` when a required verification step was skipped, failed, or could not run. | ||
| 18. Review pass rules: | ||
| - `TRIVIAL` -> 1 full review pass | ||
| - `CRITICAL` -> 2 full review passes | ||
| 19. Each review pass must check: | ||
| - the base case still works | ||
| - edge cases and failure modes are covered | ||
| - no implementation steps were skipped | ||
| - no `TODO`, `FIXME`, placeholder, or follow-up markers were left behind unless the feature spec explicitly allows them | ||
| - unit tests and end-to-end verification still match the implemented behavior | ||
| - implemented API endpoints still match the planned request/response shapes when applicable | ||
| - implemented UI states, interactions, and `data-testid` values still match the feature spec when applicable | ||
| 20. Check every bullet in `## Definition Of Done` one by one. Do not mark `[x]` unless each bullet can be supported by executed verification or direct file evidence. | ||
| 21. If a review pass or definition-of-done check finds issues, fix all identified issues in a single batch, rerun the affected verification, then repeat that review pass. | ||
| - Verify: zero rows with status `pending` or `active`. | ||
| - Verify: Coverage table — every requirement mapped to a `done` spec. | ||
| - Verify: no placeholder text in any feature spec file. | ||
| - If clean: return done. | ||
| - If blocked rows remain: return partial (some done) or blocked (none done) with blocker reasons. | ||
| ### Worker Phase W5 - Complete | ||
| ## Worker Protocol | ||
| 22. Mark the feature spec `[x]` in `PROGRESS.md` immediately after all required verification and review passes succeed. | ||
| 23. Clear `## Active Work` to `Current: None`, `Phase: idle`, and add a short note about the next ready feature spec. Only add a note when useful. | ||
| 24. Update the original PRD file (`.pspec/specs/<filename>.md`) to change the status of this feature in the `## Feature Breakdown` from `[PLANNED]` to `[IMPLEMENTED]`. | ||
| 25. Return a compact result to the orchestrator: | ||
| - Status: `done` or `blocked` | ||
| - Feature spec: id and title | ||
| - Files changed | ||
| - Verification: checks run and status | ||
| - Coverage: `AC-*` and `EC-*` addressed | ||
| - Blocker reason (only if status is `blocked`) | ||
| The orchestrator copies this section into each subagent task prompt. | ||
| ### Worker Guardrails | ||
| - Complete the entire feature spec in one run. | ||
| - Never ask to rerun `/pspec.implement`. | ||
| - If a check or test fails, batch-fix all errors, rerun, keep going. | ||
| - Only stop early for: missing section, unresolvable dependency, environment issue. | ||
| - Update PROGRESS.md before code edits and after every major checkpoint. | ||
| ### Block Parsing | ||
| Each feature spec may contain fenced code blocks with language tags: `config`, `allowlist`, `state`, `action`, `decision`, `validate`. Parse these blocks before executing: | ||
| 1. Extract all blocks by language tag. | ||
| 2. Validate: | ||
| - config block exists with name and version | ||
| - all action.ids are unique | ||
| - all decision.ids are unique | ||
| - all validate.ids are unique | ||
| - all depends_on reference existing action ids | ||
| - all tool values exist in config.tools | ||
| - no cycles in the depends_on graph | ||
| ### Allowlist Enforcement | ||
| Before executing any `action` block: | ||
| 1. Find all allowlist entries where `tool` matches `action.tool`. | ||
| 2. If allowlist entries exist for this tool: | ||
| - For `run_command`: check that `args.command` matches at least one pattern | ||
| - For `write_file`: check that `args.path` matches at least one pattern | ||
| - For `read_file`: check that `args.path` matches at least one pattern | ||
| 3. If `args` does not match any pattern: block the action, report the violation, and set spec to `blocked`. | ||
| 4. If no allowlist entries exist for this tool: allow the action. | ||
| ### Decision Resolution | ||
| For each `decision` block in document order: | ||
| 1. Check `state.decisions[decision.id]`. If already set, skip. | ||
| 2. Check `condition`. If set and evaluates to false, skip. | ||
| 3. Use the `ask_user` tool to present the question: | ||
| - Show all `options` with label and value | ||
| - If `allow_other` is true, include `other_label` as an additional option | ||
| - If `multi_select` is true, allow multiple selections | ||
| 4. Process the response: | ||
| - If `selected` is a predefined value: store in `state.decisions[decision.id]` | ||
| - If `selected` is `"other"`: | ||
| a. Extract `custom_value`, trim whitespace | ||
| b. If empty: inform user, re-ask (max 3 attempts) | ||
| c. Apply `other_validation`: | ||
| - `regex`: match `custom_value` against `pattern`. Reject with `message`. | ||
| - `enum`: check `custom_value` is in `values`. Reject with `message`. | ||
| - `length`: check `min <= len(custom_value) <= max`. Reject with `message`. | ||
| d. If validation fails: inform user, re-ask (max 3 total attempts, then abort spec) | ||
| e. Apply `other_normalize`: | ||
| - `slug`: lowercase, replace non-[a-z0-9] with hyphens, strip leading/trailing hyphens, collapse consecutive hyphens | ||
| - `lower`: lowercase only | ||
| - `raw`: no transformation | ||
| f. Store normalized value in `state.decisions[decision.id]` | ||
| 5. Write the updated state block back to the feature spec file. | ||
| ### W1 - Load | ||
| 1. Read PROGRESS.md. Parse frontmatter and Active section. | ||
| 2. Read `.pspec/CONTEXT.md` when present for project context and conventions. | ||
| 3. Read AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md if present. | ||
| 3. Read PRD. Extract all AC-*/EC-* IDs. | ||
| 4. Read assigned feature spec. Verify sections: Goal, Contracts, Files, Actions, Validates, Done. | ||
| 5. Parse all fenced code blocks (config, allowlist, state, action, decision, validate). | ||
| 6. If a section or block is missing, stop and report the first missing item. | ||
| 7. Mark spec `active` in Registry. Update Active section with filename, phase `W1`, resume note, timestamp. | ||
| 8. If another spec is already `active`, stop and report it. | ||
| Gate: all sections present, all blocks valid, spec marked active, no other active spec. | ||
| ### W2 - Resolve Decisions | ||
| 9. For each `decision` block, resolve using the process above. | ||
| 10. Write the updated state block after each decision. | ||
| 11. After all decisions are resolved, write the final state. | ||
| ### W3 - Execute Actions | ||
| 12. Topologically sort actions by `depends_on` (preserve document order for ties). | ||
| 13. For each action in order: | ||
| a. If `condition` is set, evaluate it. If false, add id to `state.completed` and skip. | ||
| b. If any `depends_on` action is in `state.failed`, add this action to `state.failed` with `error: "dependency failed"`, `retries: 0`. If `on_failure == abort`, set state to `failed`, stop. | ||
| c. Check allowlist (see above). If blocked, stop and report. | ||
| d. Resolve template variables in `args`: | ||
| - Replace `{{decisions.KEY}}` with resolved decision values | ||
| - Replace `{{artifacts.ID}}` with file paths from completed actions | ||
| - Warn if any `{{...}}` pattern remains unresolved | ||
| e. Execute `action.tool` with resolved args. | ||
| f. On success: add id to `state.completed`, store output files in `state.artifacts[id]`, clear `state.current_action`, write state to file. | ||
| g. On failure: retry up to `action.retry` (default from `config.defaults.retry`) times. | ||
| - If all retries exhausted: add `{id, error, retries}` to `state.failed`. | ||
| - If `on_failure == abort`: set state status to `failed`, write state, stop. | ||
| - If `on_failure == skip`: continue to next action. | ||
| - Default: continue to next action. | ||
| 14. Update Active (phase `W3`, current step, timestamp) after each major action. | ||
| Gate: all actions executed or skipped, no abort-level failures. | ||
| ### W4 - Audit Implemented Work | ||
| 15. Compare implementation against spec: | ||
| - every `create` file exists | ||
| - every `modify` file was updated | ||
| - every verification artifact exists | ||
| - every spec_ref ID is addressed | ||
| - every API/UI contract matches the Contracts section | ||
| - every data-testid is present in code | ||
| 16. If anything is missing, fix it before proceeding. | ||
| Gate: all planned files and contracts match spec. | ||
| ### W5 - Run Validates | ||
| 17. For each `validate` block (grouped by type: base → edges → e2e): | ||
| a. Check `depends_on`: if any action is in `state.failed`, skip with warning. | ||
| b. Resolve `args` template variables. | ||
| c. Execute `validate.tool` with args. | ||
| d. If result matches `expect`: pass. | ||
| e. If result does not match: | ||
| - Retry up to `validate.retry` times. | ||
| - If all retries exhausted and `on_failure == abort`: set state to `failed`, write state, stop. | ||
| - If `on_failure == skip`: mark as failed, continue. | ||
| - Default: mark as failed, continue. | ||
| 18. Never claim a validate passed unless you ran it and it succeeded. | ||
| Review passes: | ||
| - TRIVIAL: 1 full pass | ||
| - CRITICAL: 2 full passes | ||
| - Each pass checks: base case, edges, no skipped steps, no TODO/FIXME, contracts match, testids match. | ||
| Gate: all validates pass, all review passes complete. | ||
| ### W6 - Complete | ||
| 19. Check every Done checkbox with evidence. Mark [x] only with proof. | ||
| 20. If review finds issues, batch-fix, rerun affected validates, repeat that review pass. | ||
| 21. Mark spec `done` in Registry. | ||
| 22. Update Active to: Spec `None`, Phase `idle`, note about next spec. | ||
| 23. Update PRD `## Features`: this feature's status → [IMPLEMENTED]. | ||
| 24. Update state block: `status: done`, `finished_at: <ISO timestamp>`, `current_action: null`. | ||
| 25. Return compact result: status, spec id/title, files changed, verification summary, coverage addressed. | ||
| ## Constraints | ||
| - The orchestrator coordinates subagents; it does not implement feature specs directly | ||
| - Only one subagent is active at a time; wait for each subagent to return before spawning the next | ||
| - The subagent reads all files from disk independently; the orchestrator passes paths, not file contents | ||
| - `PROGRESS.md` is the handoff contract: the subagent must update it before returning | ||
| - The orchestrator validates `PROGRESS.md` state after each subagent returns | ||
| - Process one feature spec per subagent. Do not batch feature specs | ||
| - Resume the existing `[>]` feature spec before any new `[ ]` item | ||
| - Treat `PROGRESS.md` as the resumable source of truth; persist the current phase and next resume step whenever state changes | ||
| - Execute feature specs in `id` order, respecting `depends_on` | ||
| - Do not mark a feature spec complete until functional behavior, unit coverage, edge-case coverage, and end-to-end verification all pass | ||
| - Orchestrator coordinates subagents; it does not implement feature specs directly | ||
| - Only one subagent active at a time; wait for return before spawning the next | ||
| - Subagent reads all files from disk independently; orchestrator passes paths only | ||
| - PROGRESS.md is the handoff contract; subagent must update it before returning | ||
| - Orchestrator validates PROGRESS.md state after each subagent returns | ||
| - Process one feature spec per subagent; do not batch | ||
| - Resume the existing `active` spec before any new `pending` item | ||
| - Execute in id order, respecting depends_on | ||
| - Do not mark `done` until functional behavior, unit tests, edges, and E2E all pass | ||
| - Never claim success for a check you did not run | ||
| - Stop on the first feature-spec registry, coverage-map, or missing-section mismatch | ||
| - Match naming and export conventions exactly | ||
| - Prefer existing helpers over new abstractions | ||
| - Batch fixes for multiple failing tests or errors together instead of fixing them one by one | ||
| - Stop on first registry, coverage, or missing-section mismatch | ||
| - Batch fixes for multiple failing tests together | ||
| - Never pause between feature specs or ask for confirmation mid-run | ||
| - Never ask the user to rerun `/pspec.implement` to continue remaining runnable work | ||
| - Never tell the user to rerun `/pspec.implement` | ||
| - Never commit changes unless explicitly asked | ||
| - Never leave a subagent running after it has returned its result; delete it and proceed | ||
| - Never leave a subagent running after it has returned | ||
| ## Subagent Lifecycle Guardrail | ||
| - The orchestrator must spawn one subagent, wait for it to return, validate the result, then spawn the next subagent. This is a strict sequential loop. | ||
| - After a subagent returns, the orchestrator must read `PROGRESS.md` from disk to verify the expected state change (`[>]` to `[x]` or `[~]`) before proceeding. | ||
| - If the orchestrator cannot confirm the state change in `PROGRESS.md` after a subagent returns (e.g., file is unchanged or corrupted), the orchestrator must stop and report the inconsistency. Do not spawn another subagent for the same task or skip ahead. | ||
| - The orchestrator must never have more than one active subagent at a time. | ||
| - If a subagent returns without updating `PROGRESS.md` (no state change from `[>]`), treat it as a failure. Do not spawn another subagent for the same task. Report the blocker. | ||
| - The orchestrator must not carry stale context between subagent dispatches. Read `PROGRESS.md` fresh from disk before each spawn decision. | ||
| ## Output | ||
| - Status: [done|partial|blocked] | ||
| - Use `done` only when the final closeout audit passes and no `[ ]`, `[>]`, or `[~]` remains. | ||
| - Use `partial` only when at least one feature spec completed in this run but another feature spec is `[~]` blocked. | ||
| - Use `blocked` only when no feature spec could complete because every eligible feature spec hit an explicit blocker. | ||
| - Do not use `partial` or `blocked` for a voluntary mid-run handoff. | ||
| - Work: [implemented behavior] | ||
| - Files: [file path summary] | ||
| - Verification: [checks run and status] | ||
| - Coverage: [AC-* and EC-* completion summary] | ||
| - Status: done | partial | blocked | ||
| - `done`: closeout audit passes, no pending/active/blocked rows | ||
| - `partial`: >= 1 spec completed, >= 1 blocked | ||
| - `blocked`: zero specs completed, all eligible blocked | ||
| - Never use partial/blocked for voluntary handoff | ||
| - Work: implemented behavior summary | ||
| - Files: changed file paths | ||

| When asked to /pspec.plan, create a feature-spec directory from a PRD in 2 phases. | ||
| ## Prerequisite - Validate PRD Exists | ||
| ## Prerequisite | ||
| Before starting any phase, validate the input: | ||
| - If no spec name or path is provided as an argument, stop and report: "Usage: `/pspec.plan <spec-name>`. Provide a PRD name from `.pspec/specs/`." | ||
| - Verify the file exists at `.pspec/specs/<name>.md` (try both with and without `.md` extension). | ||
| - If the file does not exist, stop and report: "PRD not found: `.pspec/specs/<name>.md`. Run `/pspec.spec` first to create it." | ||
| - Do not proceed to Phase 1 or attempt to generate any content without a confirmed existing PRD file. | ||
| - If no spec path is given, stop: "Usage: `/pspec.plan <spec-path>`. Provide a PRD from `.pspec/specs/`." | ||
| - If the file does not exist, stop: "PRD not found: `.pspec/specs/<name>.md`. Run `/pspec.spec` first." | ||
| - Do not proceed without a confirmed PRD file. | ||
| ## Phase 1 - Question Phase | ||
| 1. Use the validated PRD path from the prerequisite step. | ||
| 2. Read `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` if present. Use project conventions found there when populating shared context. | ||
| 3. Read the PRD and any referenced files. Read additional reference files only when the PRD does not provide enough implementation context. | ||
| 4. Ask 5-10 numbered questions before writing the feature-spec directory. | ||
| 5. Use 5 questions for smaller work and more only when they add real value. Do not ask filler questions. | ||
| 6. Cover these categories. Skip a category only if the answer is already clear from the PRD or project context: | ||
| 1. Read `.pspec/CONTEXT.md` when present. Treat it as the primary source of truth for project context. | ||
| 2. Read the validated PRD, `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md`, and reference files. | ||
| 2. Ask 5-10 planning questions covering: | ||
| - feature boundaries and file layout | ||
| - data model involved | ||
| - API contracts and request/response shapes when API work exists | ||
| - web UI states, interactions, outcomes, and `data-testid` strategy when web work exists | ||
| - data model details | ||
| - API contracts (method, path, request, response) when API work exists | ||
| - UI states, interactions, data-testid strategy when web work exists | ||
| - unit test expectations | ||
| - end-to-end verification artifact | ||
| - rollout, dependency, or integration constraints | ||
| 7. Each question must: | ||
| - have a short title | ||
| - provide 2-5 prefilled options when possible | ||
| - include a final `Custom` option | ||
| 8. In the first response, ask questions only. Do not write the feature-spec directory in the same response where you ask questions. | ||
| 9. Stop after asking the questions and wait for the user's answers. | ||
| - E2E verification artifact type | ||
| - rollout or integration constraints | ||
| 3. Each question: short title, 2-5 options, final `Custom` option. | ||
| 4. Ask questions only in the first response. Stop and wait. | ||
| ## Phase 2 - Feature Spec Phase | ||
| 10. Once the question phase is complete and the answers are sufficient, finish the full planning run in one pass. | ||
| 11. Do not stop in the middle of Phase 2 to hand back a partial directory, draft files, TODO list, checkpoint, or "next steps" when you can still complete the plan yourself. | ||
| 12. If review or self-audit finds a gap, mismatch, missing section, or placeholder in the planned directory, fix it and continue instead of returning an incomplete plan. | ||
| 13. Only stop Phase 2 early when a required planning input is still missing, the PRD is invalid, or this prompt explicitly tells you to ask 1 short follow-up question and wait. | ||
| 14. After the user answers, review the answers with this checklist: | ||
| - feature boundaries are clear | ||
| - edge cases and failure modes are represented, not only the base flow | ||
| - data model and API/UI contract expectations are concrete | ||
| - unit and end-to-end verification expectations are concrete | ||
| - dependencies and rollout constraints do not contradict the plan | ||
| 15. If one required category is still missing, ask 1 short follow-up question and wait again. Otherwise continue. | ||
| 16. Read the saved PRD and extract every `AC-*` and `EC-*` ID. If the PRD is missing these IDs, stop and report that the PRD must be fixed before planning. | ||
| 17. Read the `## Feature Breakdown` from the PRD. Your goal is to plan the features marked as `[INITIALIZED]`. | ||
| 18. Write the feature-spec directory at `.pspec/tasks/<spec-stem>/`. | ||
| 19. Create `PROGRESS.md` inside that directory. `PROGRESS.md` is the completion tracker, shared context source, and resume checkpoint for implementation. | ||
| 20. Create multiple feature spec files inside the same directory, named `<2-digit-id>-<slug>.md`, mapping directly to the `[INITIALIZED]` features from the PRD breakdown. | ||
| 21. A feature spec is a cohesive implementation outcome, not a single file. One feature spec file may touch multiple production, test, config, or script files when they belong to the same change. | ||
| 21. Break work into atomic feature specs that one model can implement and verify end-to-end. Group tightly coupled files together. Split feature specs only when sequencing or review clarity improves. | ||
| 22. Tag feature specs to guide implementation intensity: | ||
| - `TRIVIAL` = quick, low-risk work; implement with 1 review pass | ||
| - `CRITICAL` = risky or high-impact work; implement with 2 review passes | ||
| 23. Set `spec_ref` to exact requirement IDs from the PRD only. Each `spec_ref` item must be an `AC-*` or `EC-*` ID. Do not use free-form section names. | ||
| 24. Sequence feature specs to minimize blockers. Use setup -> core logic -> integration -> validation -> tests when that ordering fits. | ||
| 25. For every file listed under `### Create`, include corresponding tests or verification artifacts in the same feature spec when they are part of the same outcome. | ||
| 26. Sequence feature specs so `depends_on` always references lower feature-spec IDs. Use both the feature-spec ID and title in `depends_on` entries to avoid misreferences. | ||
| 27. In `PROGRESS.md`, `## Feature Specs` must list every feature spec file exactly once in numeric order. | ||
| 28. The filename and title in `## Feature Specs` must exactly match the real feature spec file and its frontmatter. Do not create orphan feature spec files and do not omit any feature spec file from `PROGRESS.md`. | ||
| 29. Add `## Active Work` to `PROGRESS.md`. Initialize it with `Current: None`, `Phase: idle`, and a short resume note that no feature spec is in progress yet. | ||
| 30. Add `## Coverage Map` to `PROGRESS.md`. Map every `AC-*` and `EC-*` from the PRD to one or more feature spec files. | ||
| 31. Do not finish the plan while any `AC-*` or `EC-*` ID has no mapped feature spec. | ||
| 32. Each feature spec file must use this exact section order: | ||
| - `# Goal` | ||
| - `## Requirement Coverage` | ||
| - `## Files` | ||
| - `## Data Model` | ||
| - `## API Contracts` | ||
| - `## UI States` | ||
| - `## User Interactions` | ||
| - `## Data Test IDs` | ||
| - `## Edge Cases` | ||
| - `## Approach` | ||
| - `## Verification` | ||
| - `## Definition Of Done` | ||
| 33. In `## Files`, use these exact subsections: | ||
| - `### Create` | ||
| - `### Modify` | ||
| - `### Reference` | ||
| 34. In `## Verification`, include these exact blocks: | ||
| - `Base case` | ||
| - `Unit tests` | ||
| - `Edge cases` | ||
| - `E2E` | ||
| 35. `## Data Model` must list all data entities, types, fields, and relationships involved in the feature spec. | ||
| 36. If the feature spec includes API work, `## API Contracts` must list all API endpoints involved with request and response shapes. | ||
| 37. If the feature spec includes web work, include all of these: | ||
| - `## UI States` with loading, empty, error, and success states when applicable | ||
| - `## User Interactions` with each user action and expected outcome | ||
| - `## Data Test IDs` with the `data-testid` values that must be defined up front and reused in code and tests | ||
| 38. If a section does not apply, write `Not applicable` instead of omitting it. | ||
| 39. Definition of done for every feature spec must require: | ||
| - functional behavior finished | ||
| - unit tests added or updated | ||
| - edge cases implemented and verified | ||
| - an end-to-end verification artifact | ||
| 40. End-to-end verification rules: | ||
| - API work -> include an API call verification script | ||
| - Web work -> include a Playwright script | ||
| - Other work -> include the smallest runnable end-to-end verification artifact that exercises the real flow | ||
| 41. Do not save placeholder text like `<path>`, `<cmd>`, `<outcome>`, `TBD`, `TODO`, `FIXME`, `later`, or `to be decided` in `PROGRESS.md` or feature spec files. If a required value is unknown, ask a follow-up instead of writing files. | ||
| 42. Before returning, audit the saved directory and fix any mismatch between `PROGRESS.md`, feature spec files, frontmatter, filenames, or the coverage map. | ||
| 43. Update the original PRD file (`.pspec/specs/<filename>.md`) to change the status of the planned features in the `## Feature Breakdown` from `[INITIALIZED]` to `[PLANNED]`. | ||
| 44. Return: | ||
| - the saved feature-spec directory path | ||
| - the `PROGRESS.md` path | ||
| - the feature spec file list | ||
| - the full contents of `PROGRESS.md` and each feature spec file | ||
| - brief sequencing notes or key risks only when useful | ||
| 45. Offer the next step as a single copy-pasteable command using the exact `PROGRESS.md` path just written: `/pspec.implement .pspec/tasks/<spec-stem>/PROGRESS.md` | ||
| 5. After answers are sufficient, finish the full plan in one pass. | ||
| 6. Do not stop mid-plan for partial output, drafts, TODO lists, or checkpoints. | ||
| 7. Extract every AC-* and EC-* from the PRD. If missing, stop and report it. | ||
| 8. Read `## Features` from the PRD. Plan features marked [INITIALIZED]. | ||
| 9. Create directory: `.pspec/tasks/<stem>/` | ||
| 10. Merge `.pspec/CONTEXT.md` content (when present) into the PROGRESS.md frontmatter `context` block. Include key_files, patterns, commands, and conventions from CONTEXT.md. | ||

| ### Modify | ||
| - `<path>` - <desc> | ||
| At least one `ref` row must exist. | ||
| ### Reference | ||
| - `<path>` - <reason> | ||
| ## Actions | ||
| ## Data Model | ||
| - <entity/type/field> | ||
| Write one `action` block per implementation step. Each action has: | ||
| - `id`: unique kebab-case identifier | ||
| - `tool`: one of `run_command`, `write_file`, `read_file` | ||
| - `args`: arguments for the tool (use `{{decisions.KEY}}` for decision references) | ||
| - `depends_on`: list of action ids that must complete first | ||
| - `condition`: optional expression referencing `decisions.KEY` or `completed` | ||
| - `retry`: number of retries (default from config) | ||
| - `on_failure`: `retry` | `skip` | `abort` | ||
| ## API Contracts | ||
| - Endpoint: `<method> <path>` | ||
| - Request: <shape> | ||
| - Response: <shape> | ||
| Example: | ||
| ## UI States | ||
| - Loading: <state> | ||
| - Empty: <state> | ||
| - Error: <state> | ||
| - Success: <state> | ||
| ```action | ||
| id: setup-schema | ||
| description: Create the auth database schema | ||
| tool: run_command | ||
| args: | ||
| command: "npm run db:migrate -- --name add-auth-tables" | ||
| depends_on: [] | ||
| retry: 1 | ||
| on_failure: abort | ||
| ``` | ||
| ## User Interactions | ||
| - Action: <interaction> | ||
| - Outcome: <result> | ||
| List actions in dependency order. Use `condition` for optional steps. | ||
| ## Data Test IDs | ||
| - `<data-testid>` - <element or usage> | ||
| ## Decisions | ||
| ## Edge Cases | ||
| - <case> | ||
| Write one `decision` block per choice point. Each decision has: | ||
| - `id`: unique kebab-case identifier | ||
| - `question`: the question to present | ||
| - `options`: at least 2 `{label, value}` objects | ||
| - `allow_other`: boolean (default false) | ||
| - `other_label`: label for Other option (default "Other (specify)") | ||
| - `other_validation`: `{type, pattern/message}` or `{type, min, max, message}` or `{type, values, message}` | ||
| - `other_normalize`: `{to: "slug"}` or `{to: "lower"}` or `{to: "raw"}` | ||
| - `condition`: optional expression; skip decision if false | ||
| ## Approach | ||
| 1. <step> | ||
| Example: | ||
| ## Verification | ||
| - Base case: | ||
| - Command: `<cmd>` | ||
| - Expected: `<outcome>` | ||
| - Unit tests: | ||
| - Command: `<cmd>` | ||
| - Expected: `<outcome>` | ||
| - Edge cases: | ||
| - Command: `<cmd>` | ||
| - Expected: `<outcome>` | ||
| - E2E: | ||
| - Type: `api-script|playwright|other` | ||
| - Path: `<path>` | ||
| - Command: `<cmd>` | ||
| - Expected: `<outcome>` | ||
| ```decision | ||
| id: auth-strategy | ||
| question: "Which authentication strategy?" | ||
| options: | ||
| - label: "Session-based" | ||
| value: session | ||
| - label: "JWT" | ||
| value: jwt | ||
| allow_other: true | ||
| other_validation: | ||
| type: regex | ||
| pattern: "^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$" | ||
| message: "Must be lowercase kebab-case" | ||
| other_normalize: | ||
| to: slug | ||
| ``` | ||
| ## Definition Of Done | ||
| - <criterion> | ||
| ## Validates | ||
| Write one `validate` block per verification check. Each validate has: | ||
| - `id`: unique kebab-case identifier | ||
| - `name`: human-readable name | ||
| - `tool`: typically `run_command` | ||
| - `args`: arguments for the tool | ||
| - `expect`: expected outcome description | ||
| - `depends_on`: action ids that must complete first | ||
| - `type`: `base` | `edges` | `e2e` | ||
| - `retry`: number of retries on failure (default 0) | ||
| - `on_failure`: `retry` | `skip` | `abort` | ||
| Example: | ||
| ```validate | ||
| id: check-base | ||
| name: Base case — successful login | ||
| tool: run_command | ||
| args: | ||
| command: "npm test -- auth/service.test.ts" | ||
| depends_on: [create-model] | ||
| expect: "all tests pass" | ||
| type: base | ||
| ``` | ||
| Every feature spec must have all sections. Use `Not applicable` only for `## API Contracts`, `## UI States`, `## User Interactions`, or `## Data Test IDs` when they truly do not apply. `## Approach` steps must be specific enough to start coding without further investigation. `### Reference` must point to at least one existing file. `## Definition Of Done` must be independently checkable. Final saved files must not contain placeholders. | ||
| ## Allowlists | ||
| Write one `allowlist` block constraining tool calls. Each entry: | ||
| - Top-level key: PascalCase name | ||
| - `tool`: which tool this constrains | ||
| - `allow`: list of glob patterns for permitted arguments | ||
| Example: | ||
| ```allowlist | ||
| safe-commands: | ||
| tool: run_command | ||
| allow: | ||
| - "npm test*" | ||
| - "npm run build*" | ||
| - "npm run lint*" | ||
| - "bash scripts/*" | ||
| src-paths: | ||
| tool: write_file | ||
| allow: | ||
| - "src/**" | ||
| - "test/**" | ||
| - "scripts/*" | ||
| ``` | ||
| Deny-by-default: if an allowlist entry exists for a tool, actions must match at least one pattern. | ||
| ## Done | ||
| - [ ] Functional behavior works | ||
| - [ ] Unit tests pass (base + edges) | ||
| - [ ] All spec_ref IDs addressed in code | ||
| - [ ] E2E artifact runs successfully | ||
| ``` | ||
| Every feature spec MUST include a `config` block, a `state` block (initial status: idle), and at least one `action` block. Feature specs that have choice points MUST include `decision` blocks. All feature specs MUST include `validate` blocks and an `allowlist` block. | ||
| ### Planning Rules | ||
| 10. One feature spec = one cohesive outcome. May touch multiple files. | ||
| 11. Tag: TRIVIAL = 1 review pass, CRITICAL = 2 review passes. | ||
| 12. Sequence actions: setup → core → integration → validation. | ||
| 13. depends_on must reference lower IDs only. | ||
| 14. Every AC-* and EC-* must appear in Coverage table. | ||
| 15. Registry rows must match real files exactly (id, filename, title). | ||
| 16. Update PRD `## Features` from [INITIALIZED] to [PLANNED]. | ||
| ### Save-Time Checklist | ||
| Before returning, verify ALL: | ||
| - [ ] PROGRESS.md has Registry table with one row per feature spec file | ||
| - [ ] Every Registry row matches a real feature spec file (name, id, title) | ||
| - [ ] Coverage table maps every AC-* and EC-* from the PRD | ||
| - [ ] No AC-* or EC-* is unmapped | ||
| - [ ] Every feature spec has: Goal, Contracts, Files, Actions, Validates, Done | ||
| - [ ] Every feature spec has: config block, state block, allowlist block | ||
| - [ ] Every action has a unique id, a tool, and args | ||
| - [ ] Every validate has a unique id, a tool, args, and expect | ||
| - [ ] Every decision has a unique id, a question, and at least 2 options | ||
| - [ ] Every API row has all 5 columns | ||
| - [ ] Every Files row has action|path|description | ||
| - [ ] Done section has >= 4 checkboxes | ||
| - [ ] No placeholder text anywhere | ||
| ## Question Format | ||
| - `Q1. <short title>` | ||
| - `A. <option>` / `B. <option>` / `C. Custom` | ||

| - the answers do not contradict each other | ||
| - acceptance criteria and verification expectations are concrete enough to implement | ||
| 15. If one required category is still missing, ask 1 short follow-up question and wait again. Otherwise continue. | ||
| 16. Write the PRD directly to `.pspec/specs/` as a flat file named `<epoch-ms>-<slug>.md`. | ||
| 17. Use epoch milliseconds for the prefix, for example `1742451234567-add-login.md`. | ||
| 18. The PRD must cover: | ||
| - product goal and context | ||
| - user problem and success outcome | ||
| - base flow | ||
| - edge cases and failure modes | ||
| - data model, interfaces, or contracts | ||
| - dependencies and operational constraints | ||
| - acceptance criteria | ||
| - feature breakdown with initial statuses | ||
| - definition of done expectations for functional completion, unit coverage, edge-case coverage, and end-to-end verification | ||
| 19. In the saved PRD, use stable requirement IDs: | ||
| - acceptance criteria -> `AC-01`, `AC-02`, `AC-03`, ... | ||
| - edge cases and failure modes -> `EC-01`, `EC-02`, `EC-03`, ... | ||
| 20. Include an `## Acceptance Criteria` section that uses `AC-*` IDs and an `## Edge Cases` section that uses `EC-*` IDs. | ||
| 21. Include a `## Feature Breakdown` section that splits the PRD into distinct implementation phases or features. | ||
| 22. Assign every item in the feature breakdown an explicit status of `[INITIALIZED]`. (Valid statuses are `[INITIALIZED]`, `[PLANNED]`, `[IMPLEMENTED]`). | ||
| 23. Every `AC-*` and `EC-*` ID must be unique, concrete, and implementation-checkable. | ||
| 22. Do not save placeholder text like `<...>`, `TBD`, `TODO`, `FIXME`, `later`, or `to be decided`. If a required value is unknown, ask a follow-up instead. | ||
| 23. Use Mermaid only when the flow is complex enough that a diagram adds clarity. | ||
| 24. Before returning, reread the saved PRD and fix any missing required section, duplicate `AC-*` or `EC-*` ID, contradiction, or placeholder text. | ||
| 25. Return the saved file path, exact `<epoch-ms>-<slug>` stem, and brief assumptions or notable decisions. | ||
| 26. Offer the next step as a single copy-pasteable command using the exact file path just written: `/pspec.plan .pspec/specs/<filename>.md` | ||
| 9. After answers are collected, finish the full PRD in one pass. | ||
| 10. Do not stop mid-draft to return a partial PRD, outline, TODO list, checkpoint, or next steps. | ||
| 11. If self-audit finds a gap or contradiction, fix it and continue. | ||
| 12. Only stop early to ask 1 follow-up question when a required input is still missing. | ||
| 13. Write the PRD to `.pspec/specs/<epoch-ms>-<slug>.md` using this exact structure: | ||

| ``` | ||
| 14. Use epoch milliseconds for the filename prefix (e.g. `1742451234567-add-login.md`). | ||
| 15. Every AC-* and EC-* must be unique. | ||
| 16. Every EC-* must use `→` to pair cause with expected behavior. | ||
| 17. Every F-* must map to one or more AC-* entries in the plan phase. | ||
| 18. Do not save placeholder text (<...>, TBD, TODO, FIXME, "to be decided"). | ||
| 19. Before returning, verify the save-time checklist: | ||
| - [ ] File has frontmatter with `kind: prd` | ||
| - [ ] Exactly one `## Intent` | ||
| - [ ] Exactly one `## Flow` with >= 1 numbered step | ||
| - [ ] `## Acceptance Criteria` has >= 1 unique AC-* entry | ||

| - [ ] `## Features` has >= 1 unique F-* entry | ||
| - [ ] `## Done` has >= 1 checkbox | ||
| - [ ] Zero instances of placeholder text | ||
| 20. Return: saved file path, stem, and brief assumptions. | ||
| 21. Offer next step: `/pspec.plan .pspec/specs/<filename>.md` | ||
| ## Question Format | ||
| - `Q1. <short title>` | ||
| - `A. <option>` | ||
| - `B. <option>` | ||
| - `C. Custom: <user writes>` | ||

| - For web work: all UI states, all user interactions and outcomes, and `data-testid` values to use in both code and tests | ||

| 1. Add the auth service and shared types. | ||
| 2. Implement success and failure paths. | ||
| 3. Add unit tests for the base case and listed edge cases. | ||
| 4. Hook the service into the verification artifact if needed. | ||

| pspec now favors serial, complete execution over orchestration features. | ||
| pspec uses step-indexed protocols for determinism and structured blocks for machine-parseable execution. | ||
| 1. `/pspec.spec` asks focused questions, collects answers, then completes the PRD draft in one pass once the answers are sufficient. | ||
| 2. `/pspec.plan` asks focused questions first, then completes the feature-spec directory in one pass with `PROGRESS.md`, one file per feature, and a coverage map for every `AC-*` and `EC-*` requirement. | ||
| 3. `/pspec.audit` audits and syncs the feature-spec directory against the PRD without changing product code. | ||
| 4. `/pspec.implement` reads `PROGRESS.md`, audits the feature-spec registry and coverage map, executes one feature spec file at a time, verifies the base case and edge cases, runs unit tests and the end-to-end artifact, checks API/UI contract fidelity, checks every definition-of-done bullet, keeps going until every runnable feature spec is complete or the run is explicitly blocked, and only then marks completion. | ||
| 5. `/pspec.debug` works through likely causes serially and keeps active task directories in sync. | ||
| 1. `/pspec.spec` asks focused questions, collects answers, then completes the PRD draft in one pass with a save-time checklist. | ||
| 2. `/pspec.plan` asks focused questions first, then completes the feature-spec directory in one pass with a Registry table, Coverage table, and save-time checklist. Feature specs include `config`, `allowlist`, `state`, `action`, `decision`, and `validate` blocks. | ||
| 3. `/pspec.audit` audits and syncs the feature-spec directory against the PRD without changing product code. Validates block structure in addition to parity checks. | ||
| 4. `/pspec.implement` follows an orchestrator protocol (S1-S7) that reads PROGRESS.md, refreshes frontmatter context from CONTEXT.md and AGENTS.md, audits the Registry and Coverage, dispatches one subagent per feature spec via the worker protocol (W1-W6). The worker reads CONTEXT.md fresh from disk, parses blocks, resolves decisions via `ask_user`, checks allowlists, executes actions in topological order, runs validates, and updates state. | ||
| 5. `/pspec.debug` works through likely causes serially and keeps Active in PROGRESS.md and the state block in sync. | ||
| This keeps the workflow explicit and reviewable without adding orchestration-specific structures to your project. | ||
| **Block execution order:** Parse → Validate structure → Check allowlists → Resolve decisions (ask_user) → Topological sort actions → Execute actions → Run validates (base → edges → e2e). | ||
| **Decision resolution:** Present options via `ask_user`. If "Other" is selected, validate with `other_validation` (regex/enum/length), normalize with `other_normalize` (slug/lower/raw), store in `state.decisions`. | ||
| **Allowlist enforcement:** Deny-by-default. If an allowlist entry exists for a tool, action args must match at least one pattern. | ||
| **Context freshness:** Every command reads `.pspec/CONTEXT.md` fresh from disk. The orchestrator refreshes PROGRESS.md frontmatter context at S1 before dispatching workers. Workers re-read CONTEXT.md and AGENTS.md at W1. Frontmatter context is advisory — workers must not rely on it as sole truth. | ||
