No remote mutation.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Side effect</td>\n<td>Creates or updates checked-in spec files within the project.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Done</td>\n<td>Specs exist, are behavioral, and stay current with what ships.</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h2>Inputs</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Feature brief (required): natural-language description of the feature to implement.</li>\n<li>Existing specs (optional): any spec files already present in the project. If absent, the skill treats the feature as greenfield.</li>\n<li>Scope anchor (required): the module, package, or directory boundary the feature affects.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Refusal</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Spec drift: implementation adds behavior not covered by any spec. Remove the undocumented behavior or add a covering spec before proceeding.</li>\n<li>Scope overrun: the feature brief names more surface than the scope anchor. Stop and report the overrun; do not widen scope without explicit human confirmation.</li>\n<li>Non-behavioral spec: a proposed spec line describes a solution rather than behavior. Reject it; replace with an observable criterion.</li>\n<li>Unreachable rollback: VCS commit already pushed. Authority is exhausted; surface the conflict and stop. Do not overwrite remote history.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Procedure</h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Bound the scope.</strong> From the feature brief and scope anchor, enumerate every file that will be created or modified. If the scope is ambiguous, stop and state the ambiguity rather than inferring a larger surface. Done when: the file set is enumerated or ambiguity is reported.</li>\n<li><strong>Audit existing specs.</strong> For each spec file already present in the affected scope, verify it is behavioral: each statement describes observable behavior or acceptance criteria, not implementation design. Discard or narrow any spec line that prescribes a solution path. Done when: every existing spec is verified behavioral.</li>\n<li><strong>Identify spec gaps.</strong> Map every feature-brief item to at least one behavioral statement. Mark any item that cannot be expressed as observable behavior as out of scope. Done when: every brief item maps to a behavioral statement or is marked out of scope.</li>\n<li><strong>Write or update spec files.</strong> For each gap, add a new spec section with a unique label, the behavioral statement, any preconditions and expected outcomes, and the pass/fail criterion that a test could verify. Place each spec in the file that most directly covers the affected surface. Done when: every gap has a spec section.</li>\n<li><strong>Verify spec-implementation alignment.</strong> Confirm that no spec file contradicts an existing implementation. If a conflict exists, surface it before writing. Done when: no spec contradicts existing implementation.</li>\n<li><strong>Write or confirm the implementation.</strong> Implement the feature to satisfy the spec. Do not add behavior not described by a spec. Done when: the implementation satisfies every spec.</li>\n<li><strong>Commit with a spec-referencing message.</strong> VCS-commit the spec and implementation files with a message that names the spec label(s) satisfied. Done when: one commit names the satisfied spec labels.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Output</h2>\n<p>Checked-in spec files covering all behavioral requirements of the feature, aligned with the implementation, and commit messages naming the spec labels satisfied.</p>\n","files":[{"path":"agents/openai.yaml","sizeBytes":203,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":3629,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
