+name: spec-discovery
+description: Opt-in research-before-spec for task-analyst author mode. 11 named methods plus a mandatory claim ledger. Use when the user or AC asks discovery before generating docs/specs — not default /task consume.
+---
+
+# Spec discovery
+
+Requestable — **not** always-on. Load **only** in **task-analyst author mode** when the user or AC asks research-before-spec (including `/spec-start` with that intent). Never default consume `/task`. Not a pipeline step.
+
+Load **`product-specs`** (and **`product-specs-authoring`** after this skill if authoring follows). Do **not** invent product behavior. Do **not** create a second spec-file tree.
+
+## Load policy
+
+1. Pick a **subset** of methods that fit the task — not all 11 every time.
+2. **`claim-ledger` is mandatory** whenever this skill runs.
+3. Write chronological notes to `.claude/team/tasks/<slug>/.memlog.md` (append-only). Do **not** mutate `status.json` / `metrics.json`.
+4. Discovery output lives in memlog + `brief.md` sections. Then hand off to skill **`spec-authoring`** (or stop if `specMode: none`).
+
+Backend / MCP stacks: skip UI-only examples; prefer `analog-scan`, `code-archaeology`, `problem-define`, `assumption-audit`, `claim-ledger`.
+
+## Methods
+
+| Method | Produces | Skip when |
+|--------|----------|-----------|
+| **intake-capture** | Raw idea, origin, first unknowns → memlog + brief Research inputs | User prompt + AC already complete |
+| **index-locator** | Related INDEX rows + linked spec paths + gaps | `specMode: none` or INDEX absent without consume intent |
+| **code-archaeology** | Observed behavior labeled `inferred`/`draft` with path citations | Greenfield with no relevant code |
+| **research-pack-scan** | Claims from `team/tasks/<slug>/research/**` or user-supplied paths | No research paths cited |
+| **evidence-against** | Reasons the idea may fail | Internal spike with no product/external risk |
+| **problem-define** | Who hurts, goals, non-goals, cost of inaction → brief | Brief Goal + Out of scope already exhaustive |
+| **concept-shape** | 2–3 approach options + appetite (small/medium/large); no API design | `architecture.md` exists or one obvious path |
+| **working-backwards-check** | Headline + 5 customer objections + verdict `forged` / `needs-heat` / `cracked` | Consume mode with approved specs |
+| **assumption-audit** | Assumption register → brief Assumptions + `open_questions` | Never skip in author mode (keep lightweight) |
+| **analog-scan** | 2–3 repo analogs via `reference-features` / code search | No plausible analog |
+| **claim-ledger** | Markdown table `source → claim` for every product-behavior claim | **Never skip** when this skill is loaded |
+
+## Claim ledger (required)
+
+Block spec authoring until every product-behavior claim has a source:
+
+```markdown
+| Source | Claim |
+|--------|-------|
+| brief AC-3 | Checkout shows empty cart copy |
+| code-archaeology inferred | Empty state uses an illustration |
+```
+
+Sources: AC / user / UI copy / labeled code inference / research path. Unsourced claims → `open_questions`.
+
+## Memlog
+
+Path: `.claude/team/tasks/<slug>/.memlog.md`. Chronological `## YYYY-MM-DD` headings. Optional tags: `decision`, `assumption`, `override`, `event`, `claim`.
+
+## Forbidden

+description: Behavioral UX synthesis and review for task-analyst. Modes synthesize|review. Standalone intent ux-design or embedded required-signal / advisory UI AC. No Figma MCP; no DESIGN.md.
+---
+
+# UX design
+
+Requestable procedure for **task-analyst** (not a pipeline agent). Checklist lives in rule `ux-design` — do not duplicate it here.
+
+**Not** a Figma workflow: do not call Figma MCP; do not write `DESIGN.md`. Visual/DS/viewport audit stays with `mockup-reviewer` / skill `mockup-review`.
+
+## When to run
+
+- Standalone `/task` intent `ux-design` (report-only; profile `light`; steps only `task-analyst`; modes `synthesize` | `review`; `humanGates: []`).
+- Embedded: `feature` / `refactor` / `spike` / `spec-gen` on a UI stack when required-signal or advisory UI AC fires — inside the analyst step (no new pipeline agent). Required-signal: user asked UX, or AC require flows/states, or spec-gen page/feature.
+
+## Modes
+
+- `synthesize` — elicit IA, named primary flows, empty/error/loading matrix from the brief/AC.
+- `review` — critique a brief/wireframe/description **without** Figma. A `figma.com` URL with review-not-implement language is intent `mockup-review`, not this skill.
+
+## Order
+
+UX synthesis **before** skill `spec-authoring` / author mode when both apply. Analyst remains the only INDEX writer. Map headings via the rule's Spec feed table; do not paste the whole UX file into `docs/specs`.
+
+## Forbidden Figma MCP
+
+Do not call `get_metadata`, `get_design_context`, `get_screenshot`, `search_design_system`, `get_variable_defs`, `use_figma`, `create_new_file`, `generate_*`. Only `mockup-reviewer` reads Figma.
+
+## Load the checklist
+
+Load requestable rule `ux-design` and follow its required-signal vs advisory rules, forbidden MCP list, verdicts, surface-closure, and report headings.
+
+## Output
+
+Write `.claude/team/tasks/<slug>/ux-design.md` and append that path to the **`analysis`** manifest entry (`authoritativePaths` / `evidencePaths`). Do **not** create a new producer row. Receipt stays on `analysis`: required `INCOMPLETE` (missing primary flows or empty/error/loading matrix) → DoR not met; advisory `INCOMPLETE` → notes only. Never copy the mockup FAIL-only hook.

-# Feature continue — resume after brief approval
+# Feature continue — legacy alias
 
-Legacy command to continue after a human gate. For new pipelines with `pipeline.json`, use the same rules as `/task-continue`.
+> **Prefer:** `/task-continue <slug>` — same behavior, respects `pipeline.json`.
 
-## Arguments
+Continue after a human gate. Full logic — in **`task-continue.md`**.
 
-`<slug>` — task id under `.claude/team/tasks/<slug>/`.
+## Short form
 
-## Preconditions
+1. Read `pipeline.json` (if present) and `status.json`.
+2. Clear `awaitingHumanGate`; determine the next step from `pipelineIndex`.
+3. Invoke the subagent for `currentAgent`.
+4. The hook continues the chain when `autoChain: true`.
 
-1. Read `.claude/team/tasks/<slug>/brief.md` and `decomposition.md`.
-2. If `pipeline.json` exists, delegate behavior to `/task-continue <slug>`.
-3. If there is no `pipeline.json`, read `status.json`. Continue only if:
-   - `phase` is `analysis` and `state` is `awaiting_approval` (user explicitly approved via this command), **or**
-   - `phase` is `development`/`review`/`testing` and work should resume.
+See `task-continue.md` for details and the handoff table.
 
-## Legacy algorithm without `pipeline.json`
+## Product specs (docs/specs)
 
-1. Update `status.json`:
-   ```json
-   {
-     "slug": "<slug>",
-     "phase": "development",
-     "state": "approved",
-     "updatedAt": "<ISO8601>"
-   }
-   ```
-   Then immediately set `"state": "in_progress"` before calling the developer.
-
-2. Write `.claude/team/active-task.json` → `{ "slug": "<slug>" }`.
-
-3. Call subagent **feature-developer** with context:
-   - paths to `brief.md`, `decomposition.md`, `status.json`;
-   - instruction to follow `rules/architecture/feature-delivery-workflow.md`.
-   - if `docs/specs/INDEX.md` exists: load **`product-specs`** and honor **Related specs** from `brief.md` (soft-fail on miss; never invent behavior).
-
-4. After the developer finishes, continue review → QA per `rules/tooling-and-review/agent-team-orchestrator.md`.
-
-## If review returned changes_requested
-
-- Set `phase` back to `development`, `state` to `in_progress`.
-- Call **feature-developer** again with the reviewer’s change list.
-
-## Do not
-
-- Skip the human gate without an explicit `/feature-continue`.
-- Combine developer and reviewer roles in one subagent call.
+When the next agent is **feature-developer** (or other implementer): if `docs/specs/INDEX.md` exists, instruct them to load **`product-specs`** and honor **Related specs** from `brief.md` (behavior SoT). Soft-fail on miss; never invent product behavior. No-op if INDEX is absent.
