Dev Spec

Dev Spec

dev-spec is a compatibility alias for dev-grill-docs --spec-only.

Use it when the user explicitly asks for dev-spec, wants old dev-spec compatibility, or explicitly asks for spec-only output without CONTEXT.md / ADR writes. For ordinary requirement alignment, prefer dev-grill-docs. Do not run a separate interview protocol from this file.

Trigger routing

Trigger phrases include:

• dev-spec
• 旧 dev-spec 流程
• dev-spec --spec-only
• 只要 spec
• spec-only

Do not capture these generic requirement-intake phrases here; route them to dev-grill-docs:

• spec 一下
• 设计文档
• 帮我设计
• 写个方案
• 这个需求要怎么做
• design this
• scope this out

Behavior:

1. Load ../dev-grill-docs/SKILL.md.
2. Follow the dev-grill-docs workflow with --spec-only.
3. Produce .claude/artifacts/designs/<feature>.md.
4. Do not update CONTEXT.md or docs/adr/ unless the user explicitly asks to update persistent docs too.

Output goes to .claude/artifacts/designs/<feature>.md.

Optional arguments are forwarded:

• --quick
• --deep
• default mid-depth mode

Compatibility contract

Existing downstream tools may still refer to dev-spec. Keep these semantics stable:

• The artifact path remains .claude/artifacts/designs/<feature>.md.
• The artifact status remains DRAFT | ALIGNED | IMPLEMENTED | STUCK.
• STUCK still means open questions block dev-plan.
• Acceptance criteria remain the source consumed by dev-plan, dev-tdd, dev-verify, and dev-code-review.
• dev-auto, old docs, and old prompts may continue to say dev-spec; treat that as dev-grill-docs --spec-only.

Hard rules

• Do not copy or fork the grill/spec workflow here.
• Do not update CONTEXT.md / ADR from this alias unless explicitly requested.
• Do not write code.
• Do not route bugs here; use dev-fix.

Multi-Agent Note

dev-spec remains main-agent-first because it negotiates scope with the user, but the actual workflow lives in dev-grill-docs.

Explorers may gather bounded read-only context. Apply ../../docs/multi-agent-policy.md for delegation boundaries.

SDD Contract

dev-spec remains a stable compatibility name for the feature intent contract.

When invoked, the contract is produced by dev-grill-docs --spec-only and has the same downstream anchors:

• In scope
• Out of scope
• Assumptions
• Open questions
• Acceptance criteria
