# Gofer Specify

## Token And Cost Policy
<!-- gofer:token-cost-policy:start -->

Before spawning agents, calling tools, or loading large files:

1. Treat `.specify/memory/gofer-model-policy.yaml` as the repo-owned source of truth for simple, medium, hard, and arbiter model routing. If it is missing, run `/gofer:bootstrap-workspace` before continuing.
2. Use the cheapest capable model first.
   - Claude: Haiku for scouting/extraction; Sonnet for normal implementation, synthesis, validation, and security; Opus for high-risk arbitration or release-critical failures.
   - Codex/OpenAI: GPT mini for simple coding; GPT nano only for locate/classify/summarize/mechanical work; GPT-5.3-Codex or flagship GPT for tool-heavy coding, architecture, and release-critical validation.
   - Gemini: Flash-Lite for cheap large-context scan/summarize; Flash for default research synthesis; Pro for large-context architecture or high-risk arbitration.
   - Copilot: prefer Auto for simple and default work; ask the user before choosing a paid/high-tier picker model for hard security, architecture, or release gates.
3. Keep raw tool output out of the main conversation context. Save stable findings to `.specify/specs/{feature}/context-bundle.md`, then work from summaries.
4. Use provider prompt/context caching only for stable, non-secret prefixes: Gofer scaffold, AGENTS/CLAUDE/Copilot instructions, constitution, repo map, stage contracts, and validation rubric.
5. Before continuing after large research, planning, implementation, or validation bursts, checkpoint the durable artifacts and compact/clear/resume context when the host supports it.
6. Escalate model tier only when a cheaper pass is low-confidence, contradictory, security-sensitive, or blocking release quality.
<!-- gofer:token-cost-policy:end -->

## User Input

```text
$ARGUMENTS
```

You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

## Execution Profile And Artifact Churn

Carry forward the `fast` / `standard` / `full` / `dynamic` profile chosen in
research. Keep labels generic: `docs-only`, `single-repo-code`, `cross-repo`,
`api-contract`, `auth-security`, `data-model`, `infra-config`,
`release-critical`, `broad-fanout`, `unknown-blast-radius`, `unknown`.

Also read `execution-profile.md` when present. Keep the same
`effectiveProfile` unless new evidence changes the risk labels; if that
happens, update the file and explain the new `profileFloor`,
`effectiveProfile`, and reason in `traceability.md`.

- **fast** specs should be short and scoped, with no new optional artifact set
  unless research found implementation risk.
- **standard** specs should include normal user stories, acceptance criteria,
  test expectations, and protected boundaries.
- **full** specs must explicitly capture contract, security, data, infra,
  rollout, and validation obligations with evidence references.
- **dynamic** specs must capture decomposition boundaries, shard ownership,
  unresolved blast-radius questions, reducer evidence expectations, and
  confirmation gates.

Do not rediscover context already summarized in `research.md` or
`proposal-review.md`; consume it, cite it, and only reopen files when a claim is
ambiguous.

## Prerequisites

This command expects:

- Feature directory already created at `.specify/specs/{feature}/`
- `research.md` completed from `/1_gofer_research`
- `goal-ledger.json` seeded from `/1_gofer_research`
- `proposal-review.md` if research created supporting review context

If these don't exist, prompt user to run `/1_gofer_research` first.

---

## Outline

1. Context health check
2. Validate any supporting proposal review context and load existing findings
3. Dispatch specification agents (sub-agents handle heavy generation)
4. Review agent output, handle clarifications
5. Optional multi-perspective review
6. Output: `.specify/specs/{feature}/spec.md`
7. EnterpriseAI profile output: `.specify/specs/{feature}/contract-pack.md`

---

## Step 0: Context Health Check

Before starting specification, assess context window health:

```bash
.specify/scripts/bash/check-context-health.sh
```

- If **< 50%**: Proceed normally
- If **50-70%**: Consider `/compact` before loading research.md
- If **> 70%**: Start new session with handoff summary

---

## Step 1: Load Context (Lightweight)

1. **Run setup script**:

   ```bash
   .specify/scripts/bash/check-prerequisites.sh --json --paths-only
   ```

   Parse JSON for FEATURE_DIR. Use `--paths-only` because specification runs
   before planning, so `plan.md` must NOT be required at this stage.

2. **Scan research.md** from FEATURE_DIR (do NOT load full content into main
   context — agents will read it directly):
   - Note the feature name and description
   - Note whether discovery.md exists
   - Note whether proposal-review.md exists
   - Note whether goal-ledger.json exists and which goals, metrics, delivery
     states, and re-loop triggers it records

3. **Note template path**: `.specify/templates/spec-template.md`

4. **Check for discovery.md**:

   ```bash
   ls -la {FEATURE_DIR}/discovery.md 2>/dev/null
   ```

5. **Check for proposal-review.md**:
   ```bash
   ls -la {FEATURE_DIR}/proposal-review.md 2>/dev/null
   ```

---

## Step 1.25: Optional Proposal Review Context

`proposal-review.md` is optional supporting context between research and specification.

- If `proposal-review.md` is missing: continue using `research.md` as the
  source of truth.
- If `proposal-review.md` exists: capture any business-scenario guidance,
  architecture direction, selected option, and user overrides it records.
- If `proposal-review.md` records a clear user-approved direction: treat that as
  authoritative. Otherwise, treat it as advisory context.

---

## Step 1.5: Discovery and Proposal Context Reference

If discovery.md exists, pass this mapping to the spec writer agent:

### Discovery → Spec Mapping

| Discovery Section    | Spec Section             | How to Use                           |
| -------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
| Problem Statement    | Overview                 | Use pain point as feature motivation |
| Target Users         | User Stories             | Use persona as "As a [user type]"    |
| Value Proposition    | Success Criteria         | Convert to measurable metrics        |
| Success Metrics      | Success Criteria         | Use directly as targets              |
| Constraints          | Assumptions              | Include as spec assumptions          |
| Competitive Analysis | Overview or Out of Scope | Inform differentiation               |

**Note**: This mapping is included in the spec writer agent's prompt below. If
discovery.md doesn't exist, the agent generates spec content from research.md
and user input.

If proposal-review.md exists, also pass this mapping:

### Proposal Review → Spec Mapping

| Proposal Section              | Spec Section                  | How to Use                                         |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Recommended Business Scenario | Overview, Stories, Scope      | Use as the approved scope and user value lens      |
| Recommended Architecture      | Assumptions, Dependencies     | Carry forward the approved architecture direction  |
| Architecture Options          | Out of Scope, Assumptions     | Record rejected options and why they were deferred |
| Key Decisions and Why         | Requirements, NFRs            | Preserve decision rationale in business terms      |
| User Feedback and Overrides   | Requirements, Scope, Glossary | Apply approved user changes before finalizing spec |

---

## Step 2: Dispatch Specification Agents

**CRITICAL**: You **MUST** delegate document generation to sub-agents using the
Task tool. Do NOT perform this work inline in the main context. The main context
should only orchestrate and review agent outputs.

### Agent 1: Specification Writer

```
Task: subagent_type="general-purpose", model="sonnet"
Prompt: "Generate a complete feature specification for [FEATURE_NAME].

Feature directory: {FEATURE_DIR}

Read these files for full context:
- {FEATURE_DIR}/research.md — Codebase analysis, integration points, patterns, constraints
- {FEATURE_DIR}/goal-ledger.json — machine-readable goals, metrics, delivery states, and re-loop triggers
- {FEATURE_DIR}/proposal-review.md — Supporting business scenario, architecture direction, options, overrides (read if exists, skip if not)
- .specify/templates/spec-template.md — Template structure to follow
- {FEATURE_DIR}/discovery.md — Business discovery findings (read if exists, skip if not)
- {FEATURE_DIR}/journeys/base-journey.md — AI-augmented four-step application journey (read if exists, skip if not)
- {FEATURE_DIR}/ui-preview-brief.md — UI-first preview brief for app delivery (read if exists, skip if not)
- {FEATURE_DIR}/service-fit-matrix.md — approved or draft service-fit evidence (read if exists, skip if not)
- {FEATURE_DIR}/context-bundle.md — Compact EnterpriseAI context (read if exists, skip if not)
- {FEATURE_DIR}/reuse-scan.md — Reuse-before-create evidence (read if exists, skip if not)

Generate the COMPLETE spec.md following this structure:

1. YAML frontmatter: id, title, status: draft, created (ISO date), updated, author: Claude
2. Overview — High-level description of what this feature does and why it matters
3. User Stories — Prioritized P1/P2/P3 with 'As a [user] I want to [action] So that [benefit]'
   - Each story MUST have checkable acceptance criteria (- [ ] format)
4. Functional Requirements — Each must be testable, reference codebase patterns from research
5. Non-Functional Requirements — Performance, security, compatibility
6. Success Criteria — Measurable, technology-agnostic outcomes in table format
7. Assumptions — From research findings
8. Dependencies — From research integration points
9. Out of Scope — Clear boundaries
10. Glossary — Key terms
11. Research Traceability — Matrix mapping each research finding to a spec section
12. Goal Ledger Alignment — Goal IDs, outcomes, metrics/targets, linked stories, linked requirements
13. AI-Augmented 4-Step Journey — required for app delivery, not applicable for explicit non-app work
14. UI Preview And Approval Gate — required for app delivery, not applicable for explicit non-app work
15. EAI Platform/Azure App Stack Policy — required for app delivery, not applicable for explicit non-app work
16. EnterpriseAI Service Fit — required for app delivery, not applicable for explicit non-app work
17. EnterpriseAI Contract Pack Summary — actors, object types, workflows, permissions, APIs/events, runtime assumptions, acceptance tests

If discovery.md exists, use it to:
- Use Problem Statement for Overview motivation
- Use Target Users persona for 'As a [user type]' in stories
- Use Success Metrics as targets in Success Criteria
- Use Value Proposition for primary value framing
- Keep goal-ledger.json aligned with the measurable outcomes and scope decisions
- Use Application Classification to decide whether the app journey is mandatory

If journeys/base-journey.md exists and is classified as app delivery, use it to:
- Keep the user-facing scope to four steps or fewer unless the user explicitly
  accepted extra complexity
- Convert each step goal into functional requirements and acceptance criteria
- Preserve the AI assistance mode for each step: chat/voice/accessibility/
  translation, contextual prefill, recommendation, validation, completion
  checks, human review, audit trail, or escalation
- Add explicit requirements for user control, evidence display, confidence,
  editability, and accessibility at each AI-assisted step

If ui-preview-brief.md exists, use it to:
- Require the first MVP preview to stay inside the approved EAI App Template
  blocks before any create-new UI concept is proposed
- Require the specification to preserve the selected external/internal/hybrid
  profile choice, package lane, coupling status, public-readiness target, and
  block-porting decision for each UI block
- Require every proposed UI building block to cite an `eai blocks describe`
  result by stable ID; ambiguous display names are not acceptable
- Require any unknown UI component to be recorded as a custom-block exception
  with manifest shape, component owner, data/resource binding, and approval path
- Require Storybook story IDs and theme override points for every reusable or
  ported block; if no story exists, make story creation or an approved exception
  part of the requirements
- Require source-platform-coupled blocks to define the decoupling boundary through
  `eai resources schema`, an adapter, or an explicit restricted-source exception
- Carry forward branding/logo requirements as explicit scope, not as implied
  polish
- Require preview self-review evidence such as screenshot, local render proof,
  or Playwright-style checks before stakeholder presentation
- Require a versioned `ui-review-log.md` and explicit `ui-approval.md` before
  downstream planning/tasks are treated as complete

If service-fit-matrix.md exists, use it to:
- Separate desired platform capabilities into accessible now, purchasable but
  unavailable now, and unsupported without new platform work
- Bind each chosen capability back to user-facing workflow needs rather than
  generic platform availability
- Keep non-selected or blocked capabilities in Out of Scope, Assumptions, or
  Risks as appropriate

If proposal-review.md exists, use it to:
- Treat explicitly user-approved directions as authoritative scope for the spec
- Reflect the strongest architecture direction in Assumptions, Dependencies, and NFR framing
- Carry forward any user overrides before finalizing requirements
- Place non-selected options in Out of Scope or Assumptions where appropriate

Rules:
- Focus on WHAT and WHY, never HOW to implement
- Written for business stakeholders, not developers
- Maximum 3 [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers for genuinely ambiguous items
- Acknowledge ALL constraints from research.md in Assumptions or NFRs
- Reference ALL integration points from research.md in Dependencies
- Prefer explicit user-approved directions in proposal-review.md when present; otherwise treat it as advisory context
- Each functional requirement must include Validation and Integration references
- Explicit non-app work MUST keep the shared numbered stages but MUST NOT be
  forced to create app-only preview, approval, branding, or service-fit
  sections beyond marking them "Not applicable"

Write the complete specification to {FEATURE_DIR}/spec.md.
When `workflowProfile` is explicitly `enterpriseai`, also write
{FEATURE_DIR}/contract-pack.md using the contract pack requirements below.

Return a structured summary:
- User story count and priorities
- Functional requirement count
- Success criteria count
- [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] items (if any)
- Research coverage: integration points addressed / total
- Research coverage: constraints addressed / total"
```

### Agent 2: Quality Checklist & Research Validator

```
Task: subagent_type="general-purpose", model="haiku"
Prompt: "Validate the specification at {FEATURE_DIR}/spec.md against research
findings and generate a quality checklist.

Read:
- {FEATURE_DIR}/spec.md — The specification to validate
- {FEATURE_DIR}/research.md — Research findings to cross-reference
- {FEATURE_DIR}/proposal-review.md — Supporting review decisions to cross-reference when present

Part 1: Research Integration Validation (GAP-04)
For EACH integration point in research.md, check if it's addressed in spec:
- In Dependencies, Functional Requirements, or Assumptions section
For EACH constraint from research.md, check if acknowledged in spec:
- In Assumptions or Non-Functional Requirements
For EACH technology decision, check if reflected in Dependencies.
For EACH decision or override captured in proposal-review.md, check if it is
represented in Overview, Requirements, Assumptions, Dependencies, or Out of Scope.

Build a coverage matrix:
| Research Finding | Type | Spec Section | Status (COVERED/MISSING) |

Part 2: Quality Checklist
Validate these dimensions against spec.md:
- Content Quality: No implementation details, user-focused, non-technical language
- Requirement Completeness: Testable, unambiguous, measurable success criteria
- Research Integration: All integration points, constraints, patterns addressed
- Acceptance Criteria: Every user story has checkable criteria

Write the checklist to {FEATURE_DIR}/checklists/requirements.md.

Return:
- Research coverage percentage
- Count of MISSING research items (if any)
- Specific gaps that need fixing
- Quality checklist pass/fail status"
```

**Run Agent 1 first**, then Agent 2 after spec.md is written.

---

## Step 3: Review Agent Output

After both agents complete:

1. **Review spec writer summary** — Verify:
   - All user stories have acceptance criteria
   - Success criteria are measurable and technology-agnostic
   - Dependencies reference correct codebase components from research
  - Scenario and architecture choices from proposal-review.md are reflected
   - Research traceability matrix is complete

2. **Check research coverage** — From the validator agent:
   - If MISSING items found: Edit spec.md to add missing coverage
   - Add missing integration points to Dependencies section
   - Add missing constraints to Assumptions or NFR sections
   - Update the Research Traceability matrix

3. **Fix any gaps** — Make targeted edits to spec.md for coverage failures

4. **Handle clarifications** — If [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers exist (max 3):
   - Present questions with suggested answers to user
   - Wait for user response
   - Update spec.md with answers

---

## Step 3.7: Multi-Perspective Spec Review (Optional)

Before finalizing, optionally run multi-perspective strategies to stress-test
the specification. **Skip this step if the spec is simple or time-constrained.**

### Strategy #10: Spec Ambiguity Detector

Spawn 3 agents that independently interpret the spec and write pseudocode.
Compare their interpretations to find ambiguities:

```
Task: subagent_type="specify-ambiguity-detector", model="sonnet"
Prompt: "You are Agent [1/2/3]. Read spec.md at [FEATURE_DIR]/spec.md.
For each acceptance criterion, write pseudocode showing how you would implement it.
Document every assumption you make. Focus on literal interpretation."
```

Run all 3 agents in parallel, then synthesize with judge:

```
Task: subagent_type="multi-perspective-judge", model="opus"
Prompt: "Judge verdict type: ambiguity detection.
Compare these 3 independent spec interpretations. Identify criteria where agents
diverged — these are specification ambiguities that need clarification.
[paste all 3 agent outputs]"
```

If the judge identifies HIGH ambiguity (>30% criteria diverge), add
clarifications to the spec before proceeding.

### Strategy #19: User Journey Stress Tester

Spawn 4 persona agents to walk through user journeys and find gaps:

```
Task: subagent_type="specify-journey-stress-tester", model="haiku"
Prompt: "You are Persona [1/2/3/4]. Walk through the user journeys in spec.md at [FEATURE_DIR]/spec.md.
Persona 1: Power user — fast, keyboard-driven, expects batch operations
Persona 2: First-timer — needs onboarding, clear errors, discoverable features
Persona 3: Accessibility-dependent — screen reader, keyboard-only
Persona 4: Adversarial — tries to break things, unexpected inputs"
```

Run all 4 personas in parallel, then synthesize with judge:

```
Task: subagent_type="multi-perspective-judge", model="opus"
Prompt: "Judge verdict type: journey gap analysis.
Synthesize 4 persona journey reports. Flag gaps found by 2+ personas as HIGH priority.
[paste all 4 agent outputs]"
```

If HIGH priority gaps are found, add them to the spec before proceeding.

---

## Step 4: Validate Quality

The quality checklist was generated by Agent 2 at
`{FEATURE_DIR}/checklists/requirements.md`.

1. **Verify checklist exists** and all dimensions pass
2. **If items fail**: Update spec.md, re-validate (max 3 iterations)
3. **If [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain** (max 3):
   - Present questions with suggested answers
   - Wait for user response
   - Update spec with answers
   - Re-validate

---

## Step 5: Sequence Diagram Option Generation (Optional)

**If a base journey exists** at `{FEATURE_DIR}/journeys/base-journey.md`:

Generate 5 implementation options spanning the efficiency→innovation spectrum.

### Load Option Templates

Read `.specify/templates/sequence-diagrams/option-spectrum.yaml` for option
definitions:

- Option 1: Minimal (95% efficiency, 10% innovation)
- Option 2: Efficient (80% efficiency, 30% innovation)
- Option 3: Standard (60% efficiency, 50% innovation)
- Option 4: Enhanced (40% efficiency, 70% innovation)
- Option 5: Innovative (20% efficiency, 95% innovation)

### Generate 5 Options

For each option (1-5), create a sequence diagram file at:
`{FEATURE_DIR}/sequence-diagrams/option-{N}-{name}.md`

**Each option file should include:**

````markdown
---
id: {feature}-option-{N}
optionNumber: {N}
name: {Option Name}
efficiencyScore: {from template}
innovationScore: {from template}
complexityTarget: {from template}
estimatedEffort: {from template}
created: {ISO-timestamp}
---

```

### Present Options for Selection

After generating all 5 options, present them to the user via **AskUserQuestion**:

```

Question: "Which implementation option best fits your needs?" Header: "Option"
Options:

1. "Option 1: Minimal" - "Fast delivery, basic functionality, no AI features"
2. "Option 2: Efficient" - "Good balance of speed and quality, minimal AI"
3. "Option 3: Standard (Recommended)" - "Full features, moderate AI integration"
4. "Option 4: Enhanced" - "Rich features, significant AI assistance"
5. "Option 5: Innovative" - "Cutting-edge, heavy AI/ML, longer timeline"

````

### Save Selection

After user selects an option:

1. **Copy selected option** to `{FEATURE_DIR}/sequence-diagrams/selected-option.md`
2. **Add selection metadata** to the file header:
   ```yaml
   selected: true
   selectedAt: {ISO-timestamp}
   selectedBy: user
````

3. **Reference in spec.md** - Add section:

   ```markdown
   ## Selected Implementation Approach

   **Option {N}: {Name}** was selected as the implementation approach.

   - Efficiency Score: {score}%
   - Innovation Score: {score}%
   - Estimated Effort: {effort}

   See `sequence-diagrams/selected-option.md` for full details.
   ```

### Skip Conditions

Skip sequence diagram generation if:

1. No base journey exists (user skipped journey mapping)
2. Feature is purely technical infrastructure (no user-facing interactions)
3. Context window is at Warning level (>50%)
4. User explicitly opts out during journey confirmation

---

## Step 6: Report and Continue

After spec.md is complete:

```
✓ Specification complete: {FEATURE_DIR}/spec.md
✓ Goal ledger aligned: {FEATURE_DIR}/goal-ledger.json

Summary:
- [N] User Stories defined
- [N] Functional Requirements
- [N] Success Criteria

Checklist: {FEATURE_DIR}/checklists/requirements.md

{If sequence diagrams generated:}
Sequence Diagrams: {FEATURE_DIR}/sequence-diagrams/
Selected Option: Option {N} - {Name}
```

**AUTO-CHAIN (MANDATORY)**: You MUST immediately invoke the next pipeline stage
by calling the Skill tool with skill="/3_gofer_plan". Do NOT ask the user for
confirmation. Do NOT output "Ready for next stage". Just invoke the skill NOW.

---

## Guidelines

### Quick Guidelines

- Focus on **WHAT** users need and **WHY**
- Avoid HOW to implement (that's for /3_gofer_plan)
- Written for business stakeholders, not developers
- **Use research findings** to inform requirements

### Success Criteria Guidelines

Success criteria must be:

1. **Measurable**: Specific metrics (time, percentage, count)
2. **Technology-agnostic**: No frameworks, languages, databases
3. **User-focused**: Outcomes from user perspective
4. **Verifiable**: Can be tested without implementation details

### Research Integration

- Reference research.md for technical context
- Use identified integration points in dependencies
- Acknowledge constraints in assumptions
- Align with codebase patterns discovered

---

## EnterpriseAI Integration Map Requirements

The standard Gofer workflow is the public default. EnterpriseAI profile outputs
remain opt-in and migration-only.

When the workflow profile is `enterpriseai`, `spec.md` MUST include an explicit
**Integration Map** section that traces the flow from end-user interaction to
the deployed EnterpriseAI vertical application and back. The map must be
expressed as an ordered dependency chain following the pattern:

```
Vertical App -> EAI Services -> Deployment Target
```

At minimum the map must name:

1. **Vertical App**: the student-facing or business-facing vertical being
   delivered (maps to the `eai-app-template` reference).
2. **EAI Services**: the EnterpriseAI platform services the vertical consumes
   (maps to the current public platform documentation or explicitly provided
   project references).
3. **Deployment Target**: the deployment environment and pipeline that will host
   the running vertical (maps to the configured deployment documentation for the
   target project).

Each link in the chain must reference the internal API contract that carries the
integration payload (for example `IAP-001` → `IAP-002` → `IAP-003`) so the plan
stage can bind implementation tasks directly to specification clauses.

---

## EnterpriseAI Contract Pack Requirements

When `workflowProfile` is explicitly `enterpriseai`, generate
`{FEATURE_DIR}/contract-pack.md` with these required sections:

| Section | Required Content |
| ------- | ---------------- |
| Actors | Business users, administrators, approvers, external systems, support roles |
| Object Types | Reused, extended, and newly proposed EnterpriseAI object types with owners |
| Workflows and Journeys | External user journeys and internal orchestration flows as separate views; app delivery must include the four-step-or-fewer AI-augmented journey |
| UI Preview and Approval | For app delivery: preview brief, EAI App Template constraints, branding inputs, preview validation evidence expectations, review-log requirements, approval gate rules; for non-app work: mark not applicable |
| EAI App Delivery Preflight | For EAI app delivery: CLI version/install state, account/login state, tenant role, template initialization readiness, app enrollment readiness, block catalog readiness, and blocked/deferred decisions |
| EAI Platform/Azure Stack Policy | For app delivery: EAI Platform as primary app substrate, Azure as preferred cloud/supporting substrate, custom code constrained to the EAI template, and non-EAI stacks only as approved exceptions |
| AI Assistance Contract | Step goal, assistance mode, context used, generated output, user controls, confidence/evidence, audit trail, completion signal, and escalation for each app step |
| EnterpriseAI Service Fit | For app delivery: desired capabilities, evidence source, accessible now vs purchasable vs unavailable classification, selected direction, and blocked-capability handling |
| Public Platform Boundary | Public docs/help/CLI/PublicAPI behavior the builder may rely on; private platform details intentionally excluded; upgrade/operator-required paths expressed as product-safe user actions |
| Permissions and Tenant Boundaries | Identity, authorization, policy, isolation, and tenant assumptions |
| APIs and Events | ResourceAPI surfaces, events, payload ownership, and contract-test hooks |
| Deployment and Runtime | Environment, config, observability, rollback, and operating assumptions |
| Acceptance Tests | Business, security, data, architecture, operational, and regression checks |

The contract pack must link every new object type/API/workflow back to
`reuse-scan.md` and must flag any "create new" decision that lacks evidence.
For EnterpriseAI public-facing work, the contract pack must also separate:

- **Public builder knowledge**: EAI CLI commands, PublicAPI responses, template
  configuration, support documentation, and user-safe statuses such as
  `available`, `operator_required`, `upgrade_required`, and `not_ready`.
- **Private platform knowledge**: internal service topology, direct downstream
  credentials, private provisioning paths, and any bypass around plan limits or
  AuthZ. These may inform internal implementation tasks, but must not be copied
  into public docs, generated help, templates, or vertical guidance.

---

## Observability Logging

At stage completion, log metrics:

```bash
.specify/scripts/bash/log-stage.sh 2_specify --complete --tokens [N] --compactions [N]
```

Logs to: `.specify/logs/pipeline.jsonl`

---

## Optional Helpers: Vocabulary Extraction and Spec Summary

- If the operator explicitly requests the `vocabulary` selector after `spec.md`
  is stabilized, run `gofer:vocabulary` inline and write
  `.specify/specs/{feature}/glossary.md` using the same artifact contract as the
  standalone helper.
- If the operator explicitly requests the `spec-summary` selector after `spec.md`
  is stabilized, run `gofer:spec-summary` inline and write
  `.specify/specs/{feature}/spec-summary.md` using the same artifact contract as
