Dev Spec
Treat dev-spec as dev-grill-docs --spec-only, forwarding --quick or --deep. Read references/dev-baseline.md.
When dev-grill-docs is available in the installed skill catalog, load it and apply its spec-only mode. Do not assume a sibling directory exists. When it is unavailable, use the compact compatibility contract below; no other skill is required to produce the artifact.
Standalone compatibility contract
- Read the user's request and relevant existing docs, code, terminology, and tests before asking questions.
- Ask only about material unresolved behavior, scope, or acceptance. Preserve prior decisions; a clear request needs no mandatory interview. Record consequential evidence-backed assumptions and keep high-impact unresolved decisions explicit.
- Produce
.claude/artifacts/designs/<feature>.md in the user's project unless the user specifies another path or chat-only output. Reuse an identifiable existing slug; otherwise choose a descriptive one without a routine confirmation turn.
- Include
Background, In scope, Out of scope, Solution, and observable Acceptance criteria with stable AC-1 identifiers. Include Assumptions, Edge cases & risks, Open questions, and core entities where relevant. The solution is a behavior sketch, not an implementation task list.
- Record source and update date. Preserve status vocabulary:
DRAFT for proposed or unaligned intent, ALIGNED for materially resolved requirements supported by user direction or an accepted source, STUCK for concrete blocking questions, and IMPLEMENTED only when actual implementation evidence supports it. Changed requirements invalidate implementation status for the affected scope.
- A
STUCK contract identifies the blocking decision, affected scope, and needed evidence or owner. Do not advance dependent implementation or planning by treating file existence as readiness.
- Report the artifact and unresolved issues. Respect intake-only or analysis-only scope. If broader implementation is already authorized, continue through the available workflow when requirements are sufficient.
Boundaries
This alias writes no CONTEXT.md or docs/adr/ unless the user explicitly adds those outputs. It does not implement code or diagnose bugs. Analysis-only and no-file instructions take precedence over the default artifact path. See examples.md for compatibility cases.
SDD Contract
Preserve In scope, Out of scope, Assumptions, Open questions, and stable Acceptance criteria for downstream planning, implementation, verification, and review. Existing calls to dev-spec keep the same artifact path and lifecycle vocabulary as dev-grill-docs --spec-only.
Multi-Agent Note
Main-agent-first. If delegation is available and authorized, explorers may gather bounded facts and independent reviewers may evaluate a substantial contract; one agent owns questions and writes. In the source repository, docs/multi-agent-policy.md provides optional guidance, not a dependency for standalone use.
1---2name: dev-spec3description: Compatibility alias for dev-grill-docs spec-only mode.
