+
+## When
+
+Any bug, test failure, build failure, or unexpected behavior — **before** proposing a fix.
+
+## Phases (in order)
+
+1. **Evidence** — reproduce, or collect the closest evidence (error output, failing test, logs, user steps).
+2. **Isolate** — expected vs actual in one sentence; smallest relevant slice of the codebase.
+3. **Root cause** — name the cause before editing. One hypothesis at a time; do not stack speculative fixes.
+4. **Minimal fix + verify** — smallest change that preserves architecture and public contracts. Add a regression test when the behavior is user-facing or likely to recur. Re-run the **failing** check first, then the relevant lint/type/test slice.
+
+## 3-fix architecture gate
+
+If **three** fix attempts fail, or the same symptom returns after two supposed fixes: **STOP**. Do not attempt fix #4. Escalate — the design is likely wrong (human partner or `solution-architect`). Chasing symptoms is the failure mode.

+- Fix only where the error surfaces if invalid data originates elsewhere.
+- Claim `fixApplied: true` without re-running the failing check (see `quality/verification-before-completion.md`).

+## Stack notes
+
+### Stack process
 
 1. Reproduce with unit/contract fixtures before changing code.
 2. Check schema validation vs handler logic vs registration wiring.
 3. Prefer repository tests over ad-hoc Inspector-only claims.
 4. Load `anti-sycophancy-discipline` — report what was verified.

 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 a Sentry/Datadog (or similar) MCP is ready and the task is a production error, event, or trace, use it. Do not invent telemetry.

+
+## When to load

+
+- Pipeline step `agent` is `openspec-author`.
+- Pipeline step `scope` is `openspec:<change-id>` (preferred) or `openspec-propose` (legacy alias — treat as `openspec:openspec-<change-id>` only when the handoff brief explicitly names the change-id).
+- Prompt includes `/opsx:propose`, `/opsx:apply`, `/opsx:archive`, `openspec/changes`, `openspec/specs`, `openspec/config.yaml`, or `openspec validate`.
+- Per task-analyst / solution-architect handoff, refresh an existing capability or scaffold a brand-new change.
+
+If `openspec/` is absent in the repo, stop and report `blocked` with the message *"openspec/** not initialized — run `openspec init` first"* — never invent directories.
+
+## Inputs
+
+1. `.cursor/team/tasks/<slug>/{brief.md, decomposition.md, architecture.md}` (Claude: `.claude/team/tasks/<slug>/`).
+2. `.cursor/team/tasks/<slug>/artifact-manifest.json` — read first, consume `artifactInputIds`.
+3. `openspec/config.yaml` — schema, context block, `rules.proposal | specs | design | tasks`. **Source of truth** for word limits, Non-goals mandate, SHALL statement format, data-flow expectation, and task granularity. Never fork.
+4. `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md` — surviving applied specs (the "as-is" target).
+5. `openspec/changes/archive/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<change-id>/` — prior decisions (D-1..) and open questions (OQ-1..) reusable across changes.
+6. Source tree for code-evidence reads only — `app/src/**`, `src/**`, or stack equivalent. **Never edit.** Cite path:line in requirements, scenarios, design notes.
+7. Pipeline step `scope` — must be `openspec:<change-id>` (e.g. `openspec:MEDCARD-11762-sync-offline-consultation-spec`).
+
+## Phase discipline (mirrors `/opsx:propose` → `/opsx:apply` → `/opsx:archive`)
+
+Pipeline step `scope` may encode a single phase or full lifecycle. Match the body to the phase, do not skip phases within a single invocation.
+
+### Phase 1 — Explore
+
+1. Read `openspec/config.yaml`. Confirm `schema:` and the four `rules.*` blocks.
+2. Read `openspec/specs/**/spec.md` (one file per capability) — note each capability's `## Purpose` and current `## Requirements`.
+3. Read `openspec/changes/archive/**/proposal.md` for prior decisions and OQ defaults that map to this change.
+4. Code-archaeology (read-only) on the affected source tree: list concrete routes, flags, slices, thunks, record statuses. Label every observation `code-evidence`.
+5. Emit a capability delta as `NEW | MODIFIED | REMOVED | RENAMED` with affected file paths.
+6. If a required source artefact is missing (e.g. `architecture.md` not produced), set `blocked` with the gap, do not invent.
+
+### Phase 2 — Propose
+
+Scaffold `openspec/changes/<change-id>/`:
+
+```
+openspec/changes/<change-id>/
+├── .openspec.yaml          # schema mirror, change-id, created date
+├── proposal.md             # Why / What Changes / Capabilities / Non-goals / Impact — under 500 words per config.rules.proposal
+├── design.md               # Context / Goals / Decisions (D-1..) / Data flow (mermaid) / Open questions (OQ-1..)
+├── tasks.md                # 1.1, 1.2, … — AC + verification checklists for future SDD
+└── specs/<capability>/
+    └── spec.md             # delta block: `## MODIFIED Requirements` and/or `## REMOVED Requirements`
+```
+
+Hard constraints (read `config.yaml rules.proposal` first — they win):
+
+- `proposal.md` ≤ 500 words.
+- `## Non-goals` section mandatory (omit → `blocked`).
+- `## What Changes` lists capability deltas **only**; no implementation steps.
+- `## Capabilities` table groups deltas by capability slug; cite spec paths.
+- Spec deltas use `## MODIFIED Requirements` heading (or `## REMOVED Requirements`); Each `### Requirement:` block carries `SHALL` statements and `#### Scenario:` Given/When/Then. Mirror existing capability voice.
+- `design.md` data-flow is mermaid or ascii (no proprietary XML). Document **current as-is** unless the change is explicitly redesign.
+- `tasks.md` 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 — each ≤ 5 acceptance bullets + verification note. **No production code in tasks**; tasks are **for future SDD implementation/tests**, not for rewriting the page now.
+
+### Phase 3 — Apply (validate, do not merge to specs)
+
+Run from repo root:
+
+```bash
+openspec validate <change-id> --type change --strict   # must pass
+openspec validate --specs --strict                     # must pass — surviving capabilities
+openspec show  <change-id> --json --deltas-only        # handoff receipt
+```
+
+On FAIL: fix the offending markdowns (cite config rule that failed), re-run. On second FAIL: stop, emit `blocked`, attach the validator output.
+
+Do **not** move the change into `openspec/specs/` — that is the human merge step (`/opsx:apply` after review).
+
+### Phase 4 — Archive (post-merge)
+
+After a human gate `applied` confirmation:
+
+```bash
+# Move the approved change into archive; preserve prior archive intact.
+mv openspec/changes/<change-id> openspec/changes/archive/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<change-id>
+```
+
+Update `openspec/changes/archive/INDEX.md` if present. Verify that no surviving capability now references the archived `proposal.md` accidentally.
+
+If `scope` carries multiple phases (e.g. `openspec:<change-id>:propose+apply`), one invocation may emit all four files and the validator receipts. If `scope` is single-phase, emit only the matching files.
+
+## Source discipline
+
+- **Never invent** product behavior. Cite `path:line` for every requirement that depends on code. Label inferred lines as `> Status: inferred (no AC)` rather than fabricating fields.
+- Reuse archive decisions: if `archive/.../proposal.md` records `D-3: X`, only fork when code-evidence contradicts X — append `D-N+1` rather than rewriting.
+- Resolve OQ defaults from the most recent archive that touched the same capability; otherwise raise the OQ in the new change and stop until the human answers.
+- Capability naming mirrors surviving `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md` slugs; new capabilities use the same domain vocabulary as `config.yaml context`.
+
+## Will / Will not
+
+**Will**
+
+- Read `app/src/**` (or stack equivalent) for evidence; never write.
+- Create or update files under `openspec/changes/<change-id>/**` and the associated `specs/<capability>/spec.md` delta.
+- Move an approved change into `openspec/changes/archive/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<change-id>/`.
+- Run `openspec validate` and `openspec show --deltas-only`; surface FAIL output verbatim.
+- Reference `openspec/config.yaml` rules in any deviation comment.
+
+**Will not**
+
+- Edit `app/**`, `app/src/**`, `src/**`, or any production-code tree.
+- Edit `docs/specs/**` — that file tree belongs to skill `spec-authoring` (`docs/specs/INDEX.md` + page/feature templates). Hand off via `open_questions` if a request conflates the two.
+- Edit `openspec/specs/**` directly (apply via the change, never in place).
+- Skip the `## Non-goals` section in `proposal.md` even when the user omits it.
+- Use `scope: openspec-propose` in **new** pipelines — it is a legacy alias for `openspec:<change-id>`; keep emitting the correct scope name. (Tech-writer still carries the legacy alias for in-flight replays.)
+- Invent routes, flags, status names, or DTO fields. Cite or raise OQ.
+
+## Artifact contract
+
+- **Authoritative inputs:** read `.cursor/team/tasks/<slug>/artifact-manifest.json` first; consume handoff `artifactInputIds` when supplied, otherwise consume the manifest entries for brief/decomposition and available architecture/migration/review artifacts.
+- **Owned outputs:** `openspec/changes/<change-id>/**` (proposal.md, design.md, tasks.md, .openspec.yaml, specs/<capability>/spec.md delta) plus the team slot `openspec-change.md` in `.cursor/team/tasks/<slug>/` when the orchestrator asks for a summary handoff. Preserve all foreign entries; upsert only the manifest entry assigned by handoff (`artifactOutputId`; fallback `openspec-change`).
+- **Terminal receipt:** cover applicable AC/task IDs, list authoritative evidence paths under `openspec/changes/<change-id>/**`, attach `openspec validate <change-id> --type change --strict` exit code + deltas-only summary, 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.
+
+## Output
+
+When invoked directly (no pipeline), write the spec handoff at `.cursor/team/tasks/<slug>/openspec-change.md`:

+## Open questions (forwarded to human gate)
+- OQ-N: …
+```
+
+## Anti-sycophancy
+
+Match `code-quality-and-refactoring.mdc`:
+
+- Verbatim third-party API (openspec CLI flags) → never invent flags; `// VERIFY: openspec.<flag> @ <version>` if uncertain; consult `npx openspec --help`.
+- Before "is this correct?" — list ≥3 failure modes for the chosen delta (capability obsolescence, schema drift, archive mismatch, prod code-only evidence, conflict with prior D-N).
+- Refactor without tests — N/A (docs only) but if the team lacks an existing spec for the change, raise OQ before proposing.
+- Comments — WHY only when non-obvious (e.g. when forking `config.yaml rules.proposal`); never narrate.
+- Urgency — name the trade-off (e.g. "Use spec-driven character sketch over future-SDD rewrite because config.rules.design forbids redesign") and comply.

+**openspec is a different file tree** (`openspec/changes/`, `openspec/specs/`) — it is not `docs/specs/`.

+The `openspec/**` file tree is owned by the dedicated agent **`openspec-author`**, not by this agent. When a handoff brief or pipeline step mentions `/opsx:propose`, `/opsx:apply`, `/opsx:archive`, `openspec/changes/`, or `openspec/specs/`, hand off to `openspec-author` instead of authoring here.
