+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 `.cursor/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`.

+## UX design (behavioral)
+
+Load requestable skill **`ux-design`** and rule **`ux-design`** when:
+- standalone router intent `ux-design`, or
+- **required-signal:** the user asked for UX, **or** AC explicitly require flows/states, **or** `spec-gen` / `/spec-start` for a **page/feature**, or
+- advisory UI AC on this UI stack (notes only; skip if no UI surface).
+
+**Order:** write `ux-design.md` **before** author mode / skill `spec-authoring` when both apply. You remain the only INDEX writer.
+
+Write `.cursor/team/tasks/<slug>/ux-design.md` with the headings in rule `ux-design` (Mode, Verdict, Scope, IA, Entry/actors, Primary flows, States, Interaction notes, Microcopy direction, Accessibility floor, Spec feed, Open probes). Modes: `synthesize` | `review`.
+
+**Required vs advisory:** required-signal + missing named primary flows **or** empty/error/loading matrix → DoR not met (`open_questions` / blocked analysis). Isolated missing microcopy never blocks. Advisory `INCOMPLETE` → notes only. Do **not** copy the mockup FAIL-only hook.
+
+**Forbidden:** Figma MCP tools (`get_metadata`, `get_design_context`, `get_screenshot`, `search_design_system`, `get_variable_defs`, `use_figma`, `create_new_file`, `generate_*`). When Figma is present and required-signal fires, emit a **thin** `ux-design.md` from AC only (no visual claims). Only `mockup-reviewer` reads Figma.
+
+When produced, append `ux-design.md` to this step's **`analysis`** `authoritativePaths` / `evidencePaths`. No new manifest producer row.
+
+
+## MCP usage
+
+Load requestable rule `mcp-usage` when verifying third-party library APIs (Context7) or when a local overlay MCP is present and the task fits. Discover tools at runtime; do not invent schemas. Overlay absence is not a blocker unless the user required that MCP as source of truth.
+
+If the prompt/brief has a tracker URL (Linear/Jira/Notion/…) and that MCP is ready, pull AC **read-only**. Task-folder artifacts remain SoT.
+

 ## Artifact contract
 
 - **Authoritative inputs:** read `.cursor/team/tasks/<slug>/artifact-manifest.json` first; consume `pipeline.json`, the manifest routing entry, user-approved decisions, and any authoritative architecture/approval entries.
-- **Owned outputs:** `brief.md` and `decomposition.md`; upsert only the manifest entry assigned by handoff (`artifactOutputId`; fallback `analysis`) and preserve all foreign entries.
+- **Owned outputs:** `brief.md` and `decomposition.md` (plus `ux-design.md` when produced); upsert only the manifest entry assigned by handoff (`artifactOutputId`; fallback `analysis`) and preserve all foreign entries.
 - **Terminal receipt:** cover applicable AC/task IDs, list authoritative evidence paths, and emit `completed` or `blocked`. Bind it to the supplied `attemptId` when present.
 - **Shared state:** never create or mutate `status.json` or `metrics.json`; the orchestration runtime/hook owns lifecycle, gates, retries, attempts, and timestamps.
