File contents

Position in workflow: spec-phase → discuss-phase → plan-phase → execute-phase → verify

How it works:

Load phase context (PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, ROADMAP.md, STATE.md)
Scout the codebase — understand current state before asking questions
Run Socratic interview loop (up to 6 rounds, rotating perspectives)
Score ambiguity across 4 weighted dimensions after each round
Gate: ambiguity ≤ 0.20 AND all dimensions meet minimums → write SPEC.md
Commit SPEC.md — discuss-phase picks it up automatically on next run

Output: {phase_dir}/{padded_phase}-SPEC.md — falsifiable requirements that lock "what/why" before discuss-phase handles "how"

Flags:

--auto — Skip interactive questions; Claude selects recommended defaults and writes SPEC.md
--text — Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for /rc remote sessions)

Context files are resolved in-workflow using init phase-op.

MANDATORY: Read the workflow file BEFORE taking any action. The workflow contains the complete step-by-step process including the Socratic interview loop, ambiguity scoring gate, and SPEC.md generation. Do not improvise from the objective summary above.
