+
+# 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
+
+- Not a replacement for `.ai/context/**` (external AI Code Review glossary) or `reference-features` (file-layout mirror).
+- Not Tessl / an external host as primary SoT.
+- No stack filesystem path recipes in this core body — path examples belong only in adapter **Stack notes**.
+
+## Related
+
+- `product-specs-authoring` — generation modes, contracts, self-check.
+- `reference-features` — code structure mirror (how to layout files), not product behavior.
+- Consumer `.ai/context/**` when present — review/domain glossary; cross-link, do not replace.
+
+
+## Stack notes
+
+- `routes`: HTTP paths. `ui` / `store`: usually `[]` (or handler labels). `e2e`: integration/contract test paths.
+- **Forbidden:** requiring `app/src/ui`, Playwright paths, or Next lint recipes.
+- Requestable / `docs/specs/**` globs — not always-on / session-start.

+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.

+**`page` required:** Overview; Entry / actors; Primary flows; States (loading / empty / error / success as applicable — mark N/A explicitly); Acceptance criteria (links or bullets to brief AC / product source).
+
+**`page` optional:** Analytics, Accessibility, Edge cases, Related specs.
+
+**`feature` required:** Overview; Shared behavior / constraints; Related pages (links).
+
+**`feature` optional:** Cross-cutting states, Analytics.

+Compliant = valid frontmatter + all required headings present (non-empty prose or explicit `N/A`) + INDEX row with resolvable `path`.
+
+## Templates & assets
+
+**Package SoT:** `packages/ai-rules/presets/_shared/assets/docs-specs/` (`INDEX.md` stub, `_templates/page.md`, `_templates/feature.md`; optional `schemas/frontmatter-v1.schema.json`).
+
+**CLI `init`:** when consumer `docs/specs/` is **absent**, copy INDEX stub + `_templates/*` (idempotent; **never overwrite** existing INDEX). When the tree already exists, skip seed entirely.
+
+**Skill fallback:** if consumer `_templates/` missing during author mode, copy from package/skill assets before authoring.
+
+## Author roles
+
+| Role | Responsibility |
+|------|----------------|
+| **task-analyst** | Primary author (Generate + Bootstrap); INDEX bootstrap; brief **Related specs** + **Spec gaps / generation requested**; loads this stem + skill `spec-authoring` |
+| **tech-writer** | Post-delivery sync where present; never invent product behavior without AC/code source |
+| **feature-developer** | Consumes approved specs as SoT; mechanical INDEX/frontmatter fixes only on renames |
+| **mcp-ts** | No tech-writer — author + post-sync via **task-analyst** only |
+
+## Self-check before handoff (soft block)
+
+Block handoff via `open_questions` until fixed:
+
+- [ ] Required frontmatter keys present; arrays always present (may be `[]`)
+- [ ] Required body headings present (or explicit `N/A`)
+- [ ] INDEX row added/updated with resolvable `path` in the **same change set**
+- [ ] Sources cited; invented product behavior absent (or labeled `draft` / `inferred`)
+- [ ] Conflict with brief AC reconciled or flagged
+
+## Related
+
+- `product-specs` — discovery / consume
+- Skill `spec-authoring` — procedural checklist
+- Optional consumer script `scripts/check-product-specs.sh` (WARN default; `--strict` FAIL)
+
+
+## Stack notes

+- `routes` = tool names; `ui`/`store` = `[]`; prefer `type: feature`.

+
+# 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
+
+- Not a replacement for `.ai/context/**` (external AI Code Review glossary) or `reference-features` (file-layout mirror).
+- Not Tessl / an external host as primary SoT.
+- No stack filesystem path recipes in this core body — path examples belong only in adapter **Stack notes**.
+
+## Related
+
+- `product-specs-authoring` — generation modes, contracts, self-check.
+- `reference-features` — code structure mirror (how to layout files), not product behavior.
+- Consumer `.ai/context/**` when present — review/domain glossary; cross-link, do not replace.
+
+
+## Stack notes
+
+- `routes`: MCP **tool names**. `ui` / `store`: `[]`. `api`: tools/handlers. `e2e`: contract/unit paths.
+- Prefer `type: feature`. **Forbidden:** requiring `app/src/ui`, Playwright paths, or Next lint recipes.
+- Requestable / `docs/specs/**` globs — not always-on / session-start.

+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Resolve mode** — Generate (tree exists) vs Bootstrap (create INDEX + templates + first spec). Refuse inventing INDEX without explicit intent/AC/`/spec-start`.
+2. **Ensure templates** — if consumer `docs/specs/_templates/` missing, copy from package SoT `presets/_shared/assets/docs-specs/_templates/` (or seeded init assets).
+3. **Fill frontmatter v1** — all array keys present (may be `[]`); prefer `type: feature` on backend/MCP; default `status: draft`.
+4. **Fill required body headings** — page: Overview, Entry/actors, Primary flows, States, Acceptance criteria; feature: Overview, Shared behavior/constraints, Related pages. Use `N/A` explicitly when needed.
+5. **Update INDEX** in the **same change set** (columns: id, type, domain, title, path, optional routes/aliases/status).
+6. **Self-check** against `product-specs-authoring` checklist; put blockers in `open_questions`.
+7. **Handoff** — list created/updated paths + INDEX diff for human gate (`after:task-analyst`). Approve before feature-developer.
