 ## Unreleased
 
+### Product specs authoring (Phases A–E)
+
+- **Generation modes** (shared-core): **Consume** (default discovery, soft-fail on miss) · **Generate** (explicit intent / AC / `/spec-start` with existing tree) · **Bootstrap** (same triggers when `docs/specs/` absent). Greenfield policy: no INDEX/spec invention without explicit intent; conflict precedence human > brief AC > approved spec > code.
+- Split requestable stems: lean `architecture/product-specs.md` (Consume) + `architecture/product-specs-authoring.md` (Generate / Bootstrap, INDEX + frontmatter v1, body checklist). Both ×20 Cursor + Claude adapters (`alwaysApply: false` / Claude `paths: docs/specs/**/*`); Stack notes map `routes` / `ui` / `store` / `e2e` per stack class (mcp-ts: tool names; empty `ui`/`store`).
+- **Assets SoT:** `presets/_shared/assets/docs-specs/` — INDEX stub, `_templates/page.md` / `feature.md`, optional `schemas/frontmatter-v1.schema.json`.
+- **CLI seed policy:** on `init`, when consumer `docs/specs/` directory is **absent**, copy INDEX stub + `_templates/*` from assets (idempotent; **never overwrite** existing INDEX). If the directory already exists (even empty), seed is skipped — remove the folder or copy templates manually if you created an empty tree before first `init`.
+- **Author surface:** extend **task-analyst** (primary author; **mcp-ts analyst-only** — no tech-writer) + **tech-writer** post-delivery sync (9 stacks); requestable skill **`spec-authoring`**; **feature-developer** / **feature-delivery** treat approved specs as behavior SoT.
+- **Pipeline:** optional `/spec-start` (spec-gen → analyst author mode → human gate); task-router `spec-gen` / bootstrap signals; orchestrator passes spec paths + INDEX diff (no dedicated `spec-author` agent).
+- **Validation severity:** code-reviewer **WARN** code/spec drift, **FAIL** broken INDEX links or missing required frontmatter on touched `docs/specs/**`; build-verifier **FAIL** missing shared assets / broken twins / non-requestable stems; optional `scripts/check-product-specs.sh` (**WARN** default, **`--strict`** FAIL) — not mandatory consumer CI.
+- **Dogfood:** `dogfood/mcp-ts-sample/docs/specs/` (INDEX + `domains/echo/echo-tool.md`; sample spec human-promoted to `active`). Soft WARN in `check:preset-structure` + GitHub `preset-structure` workflow (`yarn check:product-specs:dogfood`, `continue-on-error`).
+- **Follow-ups:** dogfood `.cursor/` re-synced from next; removed ambiguous `**mcp-ts:**` footnote from non–mcp-ts `task-analyst` twins (mcp-ts analyst-only wording kept on mcp-ts only).
+- **Consumers:** after publish, re-run `npx @bonesofspring/ai-rules init cursor|claude --preset <stack>` to pick up new stems, `/spec-start`, and `spec-authoring` skill; preset files under `.cursor/` / `.claude/` are overwritten on init — existing consumer `docs/specs/` trees are **not** overwritten.
+
+### Product specs stem (`product-specs`)
+
+- New shared-core embed stem `architecture/product-specs.md`: stack-agnostic `docs/specs` INDEX discovery, soft-fail on miss, authoring/INDEX same-PR, non-goals vs `.ai/context` / `reference-features`.
+- Requestable Cursor + Claude adapters ×10 stacks (`product-specs.mdc` / `architecture/product-specs.md`) with frontend / mobile / backend Stack notes (no cross-stack UI-path leakage).
+- Agent one-liners: `task-analyst`, `feature-developer`, orchestrator adapters; `tech-writer` (stacks with tech-writer agent; mcp-ts excluded); `feature-delivery` skill early INDEX step; optional Related on `feature-delivery-workflow`.
+- Token budget: `alwaysApply: false` / Claude `paths: docs/specs/**` — not session-start.
+- Consumers: after publish, re-run `npx @bonesofspring/ai-rules init cursor|claude --preset <stack>` to pick up the stem.
+- Follow-up polish: android-kotlin Stack notes use `features/**` (not iOS `Features/**`); Claude next/nuxt/ios/android feature-delivery INDEX step numbering aligned with Cursor; next `code-reviewer` checks `docs/specs/**` drift via `product-specs`.
+
+
 ### Android Kotlin preset (`android-kotlin`)
 
 - New installable preset **`android-kotlin`** (Cursor + Claude twins): Clean Architecture multimodule Android/Kotlin — Compose Material 3, MVI/UDF ViewModels, Dagger feature holders (no Hilt by default), `api`/`impl` modules, Gradle convention plugins / version catalog discovery, instrumentation UI-test agents.

+## Product specs (`docs/specs/`)
+
+Presets support **behavior specs** under `docs/specs/**` (INDEX, frontmatter v1, page/feature templates). Three modes:
+
+| Mode | Trigger | Agent behavior |
+|------|---------|----------------|
+| **Consume** | Default when working on listed routes/features | Discover via INDEX; soft-fail on miss; do not invent product behavior |
+| **Generate** | Brief AC, `/spec-start`, or router `spec-gen` with existing tree | **task-analyst** authors/updates specs + INDEX (skill **`spec-authoring`**) |
+| **Bootstrap** | Same triggers when `docs/specs/` absent | Create INDEX + templates + first domain spec |
+
+**First-time seed:** `init` copies INDEX stub + `_templates/*` from package assets when `<cwd>/docs/specs/` is **absent** (see table above). **Troubleshooting:** if you created an empty `docs/specs/` folder before `init`, seed is skipped — delete the folder and re-run `init`, or copy from `presets/_shared/assets/docs-specs/` manually.
+
+**After a package upgrade:** re-run `init` for your stack to refresh rules, `/spec-start`, and `spec-authoring` skill. Agent-generated specs default to `status: draft` until a human promotes them.
+
+**Optional validation** (from `packages/ai-rules/`): `yarn check:product-specs <repo-root>` (WARN) or `--strict` (FAIL). Monorepo dogfood example: `dogfood/mcp-ts-sample/docs/specs/`.
 
 The package ships presets including **`next`** (Next.js stack), **`nuxt`** (Nuxt 3 / Vue 3 / Pinia), **`svelte`** (SvelteKit / Svelte 5 / TypeScript / `store-svelte`), **`ios-swift`** (iOS apps on Swift / SwiftUI), **`android-kotlin`** (Android multimodule Kotlin / Compose / Gradle), **`go`** (Go backends with hexagonal architecture), **`java`** (Java / Spring Boot hexagonal backends), **`mcp-ts`** (TypeScript MCP servers with `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`), **`php-hexagonal`** (PHP / Composer hexagonal backends), and **`php-laravel`** (Laravel backend/API with Eloquent, Form Requests, Policies, Actions/Services).

+# Product specs authoring
+
+Load when **Generate** or **Bootstrap** is requested (`/spec-start`, router `spec-gen`, brief AC, or analyst author mode). Discovery-only work stays on **`product-specs`**.
+
+## Modes
+
+1. **Consume** — default; never invent INDEX/specs (see `product-specs`).
+2. **Generate** — create/update page/feature specs + INDEX rows from brief AC, user intent, Figma, or code archaeology. Inventing *product* behavior is forbidden without a stated source (AC / user / UI copy / code-observed behavior labeled `status: draft` or `inferred`).
+3. **Bootstrap** — create `INDEX.md` + `_templates/` copies + first domain spec under greenfield policy.
+
+## Greenfield policy
+
+Agents **may** create INDEX + first specs **only when** one of:
+
+1. User runs `/spec-start` or explicitly asks to bootstrap `docs/specs`.
+2. Brief/AC includes generation or bootstrap language.
+3. Router detects `spec-gen` intent.
+
+Otherwise: missing INDEX → optional tree; do **not** invent INDEX merely because discovery loaded.
+
+## Conflict precedence
+
+1. **Human gate** decision (approved brief/spec edits).
+2. **Current task `brief.md` AC** — if AC contradicts an existing spec, analyst must reconcile (update spec as `draft` or revise AC) before developer; no silent contradiction.
+3. **Approved `docs/specs/**`** — behavior SoT for feature-developer once gate passed.
+4. **Code / `.ai/context`** — discovery evidence only; never override approved spec without gate.
+
+Label inferred-from-code lines with `status: draft` until human promotes.

+# Product specs (docs/specs)
+
+Product page/feature **behavior** specs live under the consumer repo `docs/specs/**`. This stem covers **discovery and presence** — not layer implementation order (see `feature-delivery-workflow`) and not code-structure mirroring (see `reference-features`).
+
+**Authoring** (Generate / Bootstrap modes, INDEX/frontmatter v1, body checklist, greenfield, conflict precedence) → load **`product-specs-authoring`** when generation is requested (`/spec-start`, brief AC, or router `spec-gen`).
+
+## Modes (summary)
+
+| Mode | When | Behavior |
+|------|------|----------|
+| **Consume** (default) | INDEX exists or globs hit `docs/specs/**` without generate intent | Discover via INDEX; soft-fail on miss; **never invent** INDEX/specs |
+| **Generate** | Explicit generate intent / AC / `/spec-start` with existing tree | Create/update page/feature specs + INDEX from stated sources |
+| **Bootstrap** | Explicit bootstrap / `/spec-start` when tree absent | Create INDEX + templates + first domain spec |
+
+Greenfield: agents may create INDEX/specs **only** on explicit intent, AC, or `/spec-start`. Missing INDEX alone does **not** authorize inventing the tree.
+
+## Presence policy
+
+- If `docs/specs/INDEX.md` is **missing** → the tree is **optional** (greenfield OK for *consume*). Continue with code/brief discovery; do not invent an INDEX solely because this stem loaded.
+- If INDEX **exists** → it is the **required discovery path** for work that touches a listed page, feature, route, or alias.
+
+## Discovery algorithm
+
+1. Always start at `docs/specs/INDEX.md` when present.
+2. Resolve the entry by: route, stable `id`, PageName / alias, or domain folder.
+3. Read the linked page spec (and optional domain `feature.md` when the INDEX or page Related links it).
+
+## Miss policy (INDEX present, row or file missing)
+
+- Record the gap in `open_questions` / handoff gaps.
+- Fall back to code discovery and consumer `.ai/context/**` when present.
+- **Do not invent** product behavior, states, interactions, or contracts.
+- Hard-fail / block only when the task’s acceptance criteria explicitly require a named spec that is absent (human/gate decision).
+
+## Authoring pointer
+
+Same-changeset INDEX updates, frontmatter v1, required body headings, templates, and conflict precedence live in **`product-specs-authoring`**. Do not paste the full checklist here.
+
+## Non-goals

+Routes intent **`spec-gen`** (or bootstrap) → **task-analyst** in **author mode** → human gate (`after:task-analyst`) → stop, or continue to feature-developer if the user asked to implement after.
+
+## What to do
+
+1. Extract description from arguments after `/spec-start` (domain, page/feature ids, sources).
+2. Generate a **slug** (kebab-case, ≤48 chars), e.g. `spec-<domain>-<id>`.
+3. Ensure `.claude/team/tasks/<slug>/` exists (Write artifacts; not Shell mkdir).
+4. Write `.claude/team/active-task.json` → `{ "slug": "<slug>" }`.
+5. Write minimal `pipeline.json`: task-analyst → (optional stop) → feature-developer only if user asked implement-after. **No separate spec-author agent.**
+6. Invoke **task-analyst** with: author mode; load **`product-specs`** + **`product-specs-authoring`** + skill **`spec-authoring`**; Bootstrap if `docs/specs/` absent, else Generate.
