+## User Input

+```text
+$ARGUMENTS
+```
+
+You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
+
+## Pre-Execution Checks
+
+**Check for extension hooks (before implementation)**:
+- Check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+- If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.before_implement` key
+- If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally
+- Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.
+- For each remaining hook, do **not** attempt to interpret or evaluate hook `condition` expressions:
+  - If the hook has no `condition` field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
+  - If the hook defines a non-empty `condition`, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
+- For each executable hook, output the following based on its `optional` flag:
+  - **Optional hook** (`optional: true`):
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Optional Pre-Hook**: {extension}
+    Command: `/{command}`
+    Description: {description}
+
+    Prompt: {prompt}
+    To execute: `/{command}`
+    ```
+  - **Mandatory hook** (`optional: false`):
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Automatic Pre-Hook**: {extension}
+    Executing: `/{command}`
+    EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+    
+    Wait for the result of the hook command before proceeding to the Outline.
+    ```
+- If no hooks are registered or `.specify/extensions.yml` does not exist, skip silently
+
+## Outline
+
+1. Run `.specify/scripts/bash/check-prerequisites.sh --json --require-tasks --include-tasks` from repo root and parse FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS list. All paths must be absolute. For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
+
+2. **Check checklists status** (if FEATURE_DIR/checklists/ exists):
+   - Scan all checklist files in the checklists/ directory
+   - For each checklist, count:
+     - Total items: All lines matching `- [ ]` or `- [X]` or `- [x]`
+     - Completed items: Lines matching `- [X]` or `- [x]`
+     - Incomplete items: Lines matching `- [ ]`
+   - Create a status table:
+
+     ```text
+     | Checklist | Total | Completed | Incomplete | Status |
+     |-----------|-------|-----------|------------|--------|
+     | ux.md     | 12    | 12        | 0          | ✓ PASS |
+     | test.md   | 8     | 5         | 3          | ✗ FAIL |
+     | security.md | 6   | 6         | 0          | ✓ PASS |
+     ```
+
+   - Calculate overall status:
+     - **PASS**: All checklists have 0 incomplete items
+     - **FAIL**: One or more checklists have incomplete items
+
+   - **If any checklist is incomplete**:
+     - Display the table with incomplete item counts
+     - **STOP** and ask: "Some checklists are incomplete. Do you want to proceed with implementation anyway? (yes/no)"
+     - Wait for user response before continuing
+     - If user says "no" or "wait" or "stop", halt execution
+     - If user says "yes" or "proceed" or "continue", proceed to step 3
+
+   - **If all checklists are complete**:
+     - Display the table showing all checklists passed
+     - Automatically proceed to step 3
+
+3. Load and analyze the implementation context:
+   - **REQUIRED**: Read tasks.md for the complete task list and execution plan
+   - **REQUIRED**: Read plan.md for tech stack, architecture, and file structure
+   - **IF EXISTS**: Read data-model.md for entities and relationships
+   - **IF EXISTS**: Read contracts/ for API specifications and test requirements
+   - **IF EXISTS**: Read research.md for technical decisions and constraints
+   - **IF EXISTS**: Read quickstart.md for integration scenarios
+
+4. **Project Setup Verification**:
+   - **REQUIRED**: Create/verify ignore files based on actual project setup:
+
+   **Detection & Creation Logic**:
+   - Check if the following command succeeds to determine if the repository is a git repo (create/verify .gitignore if so):
+
+     ```sh
+     git rev-parse --git-dir 2>/dev/null
+     ```
+
+   - Check if Dockerfile* exists or Docker in plan.md → create/verify .dockerignore
+   - Check if .eslintrc* exists → create/verify .eslintignore
+   - Check if eslint.config.* exists → ensure the config's `ignores` entries cover required patterns
+   - Check if .prettierrc* exists → create/verify .prettierignore
+   - Check if .npmrc or package.json exists → create/verify .npmignore (if publishing)
+   - Check if terraform files (*.tf) exist → create/verify .terraformignore
+   - Check if .helmignore needed (helm charts present) → create/verify .helmignore
+
+   **If ignore file already exists**: Verify it contains essential patterns, append missing critical patterns only
+   **If ignore file missing**: Create with full pattern set for detected technology
+
+   **Common Patterns by Technology** (from plan.md tech stack):
+   - **Node.js/JavaScript/TypeScript**: `node_modules/`, `dist/`, `build/`, `*.log`, `.env*`
+   - **Python**: `__pycache__/`, `*.pyc`, `.venv/`, `venv/`, `dist/`, `*.egg-info/`
+   - **Java**: `target/`, `*.class`, `*.jar`, `.gradle/`, `build/`
+   - **C#/.NET**: `bin/`, `obj/`, `*.user`, `*.suo`, `packages/`
+   - **Go**: `*.exe`, `*.test`, `vendor/`, `*.out`
+   - **Ruby**: `.bundle/`, `log/`, `tmp/`, `*.gem`, `vendor/bundle/`
+   - **PHP**: `vendor/`, `*.log`, `*.cache`, `*.env`
+   - **Rust**: `target/`, `debug/`, `release/`, `*.rs.bk`, `*.rlib`, `*.prof*`, `.idea/`, `*.log`, `.env*`
+   - **Kotlin**: `build/`, `out/`, `.gradle/`, `.idea/`, `*.class`, `*.jar`, `*.iml`, `*.log`, `.env*`
+   - **C++**: `build/`, `bin/`, `obj/`, `out/`, `*.o`, `*.so`, `*.a`, `*.exe`, `*.dll`, `.idea/`, `*.log`, `.env*`
+   - **C**: `build/`, `bin/`, `obj/`, `out/`, `*.o`, `*.a`, `*.so`, `*.exe`, `*.dll`, `autom4te.cache/`, `config.status`, `config.log`, `.idea/`, `*.log`, `.env*`
+   - **Swift**: `.build/`, `DerivedData/`, `*.swiftpm/`, `Packages/`
+   - **R**: `.Rproj.user/`, `.Rhistory`, `.RData`, `.Ruserdata`, `*.Rproj`, `packrat/`, `renv/`
+   - **Universal**: `.DS_Store`, `Thumbs.db`, `*.tmp`, `*.swp`, `.vscode/`, `.idea/`
+
+   **Tool-Specific Patterns**:
+   - **Docker**: `node_modules/`, `.git/`, `Dockerfile*`, `.dockerignore`, `*.log*`, `.env*`, `coverage/`
+   - **ESLint**: `node_modules/`, `dist/`, `build/`, `coverage/`, `*.min.js`
+   - **Prettier**: `node_modules/`, `dist/`, `build/`, `coverage/`, `package-lock.json`, `yarn.lock`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`
+   - **Terraform**: `.terraform/`, `*.tfstate*`, `*.tfvars`, `.terraform.lock.hcl`
+   - **Kubernetes/k8s**: `*.secret.yaml`, `secrets/`, `.kube/`, `kubeconfig*`, `*.key`, `*.crt`
+
+5. Parse tasks.md structure and extract:
+   - **Task phases**: Setup, Tests, Core, Integration, Polish
+   - **Task dependencies**: Sequential vs parallel execution rules
+   - **Task details**: ID, description, file paths, parallel markers [P]
+   - **Execution flow**: Order and dependency requirements
+
+6. Execute implementation following the task plan:
+   - **Phase-by-phase execution**: Complete each phase before moving to the next
+   - **Respect dependencies**: Run sequential tasks in order, parallel tasks [P] can run together  
+   - **Follow TDD approach**: Execute test tasks before their corresponding implementation tasks
+   - **File-based coordination**: Tasks affecting the same files must run sequentially
+   - **Validation checkpoints**: Verify each phase completion before proceeding
+
+7. Implementation execution rules:
+   - **Setup first**: Initialize project structure, dependencies, configuration
+   - **Tests before code**: If you need to write tests for contracts, entities, and integration scenarios
+   - **Core development**: Implement models, services, CLI commands, endpoints
+   - **Integration work**: Database connections, middleware, logging, external services
+   - **Polish and validation**: Unit tests, performance optimization, documentation
+
+8. Progress tracking and error handling:
+   - Report progress after each completed task
+   - Halt execution if any non-parallel task fails
+   - For parallel tasks [P], continue with successful tasks, report failed ones
+   - Provide clear error messages with context for debugging
+   - Suggest next steps if implementation cannot proceed
+   - **IMPORTANT** For completed tasks, make sure to mark the task off as [X] in the tasks file.
+
+9. Completion validation:
+   - Verify all required tasks are completed
+   - Check that implemented features match the original specification
+   - Validate that tests pass and coverage meets requirements
+   - Confirm the implementation follows the technical plan
+   - Report final status with summary of completed work
+
+Note: This command assumes a complete task breakdown exists in tasks.md. If tasks are incomplete or missing, suggest running `/speckit.tasks` first to regenerate the task list.
+
+10. **Check for extension hooks**: After completion validation, check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+    - If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.after_implement` key
+    - If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally
+    - Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.
+    - For each remaining hook, do **not** attempt to interpret or evaluate hook `condition` expressions:
+      - If the hook has no `condition` field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
+      - If the hook defines a non-empty `condition`, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
+    - For each executable hook, output the following based on its `optional` flag:
+      - **Optional hook** (`optional: true`):
+        ```
+        ## Extension Hooks
+
+        **Optional Hook**: {extension}
+        Command: `/{command}`
+        Description: {description}
+
+        Prompt: {prompt}
+        To execute: `/{command}`

+        **Automatic Hook**: {extension}
+        Executing: `/{command}`
+        EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+        ```
+    - If no hooks are registered or `.specify/extensions.yml` does not exist, skip silently

+
+## Outline
+
+1. **Setup**: Run `.specify/scripts/bash/setup-plan.sh --json` from repo root and parse JSON for FEATURE_SPEC, IMPL_PLAN, SPECS_DIR, BRANCH. For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
+
+2. **Load context**: Read FEATURE_SPEC and `.specify/memory/constitution.md`. Load IMPL_PLAN template (already copied).
+
+3. **Execute plan workflow**: Follow the structure in IMPL_PLAN template to:
+   - Fill Technical Context (mark unknowns as "NEEDS CLARIFICATION")
+   - Fill Constitution Check section from constitution
+   - Evaluate gates (ERROR if violations unjustified)
+   - Phase 0: Generate research.md (resolve all NEEDS CLARIFICATION)
+   - Phase 1: Generate data-model.md, contracts/, quickstart.md
+   - Phase 1: Update agent context by running the agent script
+   - Re-evaluate Constitution Check post-design
+
+4. **Stop and report**: Command ends after Phase 2 planning. Report branch, IMPL_PLAN path, and generated artifacts.
+
+5. **Check for extension hooks**: After reporting, check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+   - If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.after_plan` key
+   - If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally
+   - Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.
+   - For each remaining hook, do **not** attempt to interpret or evaluate hook `condition` expressions:
+     - If the hook has no `condition` field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
+     - If the hook defines a non-empty `condition`, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
+   - For each executable hook, output the following based on its `optional` flag:
+     - **Optional hook** (`optional: true`):
+       ```

+       EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+       ```
+   - If no hooks are registered or `.specify/extensions.yml` does not exist, skip silently
+
+## Phases
+
+### Phase 0: Outline & Research
+
+1. **Extract unknowns from Technical Context** above:
+   - For each NEEDS CLARIFICATION → research task
+   - For each dependency → best practices task
+   - For each integration → patterns task
+
+2. **Generate and dispatch research agents**:
+
+   ```text
+   For each unknown in Technical Context:
+     Task: "Research {unknown} for {feature context}"
+   For each technology choice:
+     Task: "Find best practices for {tech} in {domain}"
+   ```
+
+3. **Consolidate findings** in `research.md` using format:
+   - Decision: [what was chosen]
+   - Rationale: [why chosen]
+   - Alternatives considered: [what else evaluated]
+
+**Output**: research.md with all NEEDS CLARIFICATION resolved
+
+### Phase 1: Design & Contracts
+
+**Prerequisites:** `research.md` complete
+
+1. **Extract entities from feature spec** → `data-model.md`:
+   - Entity name, fields, relationships
+   - Validation rules from requirements
+   - State transitions if applicable
+
+2. **Define interface contracts** (if project has external interfaces) → `/contracts/`:
+   - Identify what interfaces the project exposes to users or other systems
+   - Document the contract format appropriate for the project type
+   - Examples: public APIs for libraries, command schemas for CLI tools, endpoints for web services, grammars for parsers, UI contracts for applications
+   - Skip if project is purely internal (build scripts, one-off tools, etc.)
+
+3. **Agent context update**:
+   - Update the plan reference between the `<!-- SPECKIT START -->` and `<!-- SPECKIT END -->` markers in `AGENTS.md` to point to the plan file created in step 1 (the IMPL_PLAN path)
+
+**Output**: data-model.md, /contracts/*, quickstart.md, updated agent context file
+
+## Key rules
+
+- Use absolute paths for filesystem operations; use project-relative paths for references in documentation and agent context files
+- ERROR on gate failures or unresolved clarifications

+
+## Outline
+
+The text the user typed after `/speckit.specify` in the triggering message **is** the feature description. Assume you always have it available in this conversation even if `$ARGUMENTS` appears literally below. Do not ask the user to repeat it unless they provided an empty command.
+
+Given that feature description, do this:
+
+1. **Generate a concise short name** (2-4 words) for the feature:
+   - Analyze the feature description and extract the most meaningful keywords
+   - Create a 2-4 word short name that captures the essence of the feature
+   - Use action-noun format when possible (e.g., "add-user-auth", "fix-payment-bug")
+   - Preserve technical terms and acronyms (OAuth2, API, JWT, etc.)
+   - Keep it concise but descriptive enough to understand the feature at a glance
+   - Examples:
+     - "I want to add user authentication" → "user-auth"
+     - "Implement OAuth2 integration for the API" → "oauth2-api-integration"
+     - "Create a dashboard for analytics" → "analytics-dashboard"
+     - "Fix payment processing timeout bug" → "fix-payment-timeout"
+
+2. **Branch creation** (optional, via hook):
+
+   If a `before_specify` hook ran successfully in the Pre-Execution Checks above, it will have created/switched to a git branch and output JSON containing `BRANCH_NAME` and `FEATURE_NUM`. Note these values for reference, but the branch name does **not** dictate the spec directory name.
+
+   If the user explicitly provided `GIT_BRANCH_NAME`, pass it through to the hook so the branch script uses the exact value as the branch name (bypassing all prefix/suffix generation).
+
+3. **Create the spec feature directory**:
+
+   Specs live under the default `specs/` directory unless the user explicitly provides `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY`.
+
+   **Resolution order for `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY`**:
+   1. If the user explicitly provided `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY` (e.g., via environment variable, argument, or configuration), use it as-is
+   2. Otherwise, auto-generate it under `specs/`:
+      - Check `.specify/init-options.json` for `branch_numbering`
+      - If `"timestamp"`: prefix is `YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS` (current timestamp)
+      - If `"sequential"` or absent: prefix is `NNN` (next available 3-digit number after scanning existing directories in `specs/`)
+      - Construct the directory name: `<prefix>-<short-name>` (e.g., `003-user-auth` or `20260319-143022-user-auth`)
+      - Set `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY` to `specs/<directory-name>`
+
+   **Create the directory and spec file**:
+   - `mkdir -p SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY`
+   - Copy `.specify/templates/spec-template.md` to `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY/spec.md` as the starting point
+   - Set `SPEC_FILE` to `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY/spec.md`
+   - Persist the resolved path to `.specify/feature.json`:
+     ```json
+     {
+       "feature_directory": "<resolved feature dir>"
+     }
+     ```
+     Write the actual resolved directory path value (for example, `specs/003-user-auth`), not the literal string `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY`.
+     This allows downstream commands (`/speckit.plan`, `/speckit.tasks`, etc.) to locate the feature directory without relying on git branch name conventions.
+
+   **IMPORTANT**:
+   - You must only create one feature per `/speckit.specify` invocation
+   - The spec directory name and the git branch name are independent — they may be the same but that is the user's choice
+   - The spec directory and file are always created by this command, never by the hook
+
+4. Load `.specify/templates/spec-template.md` to understand required sections.
+
+5. Follow this execution flow:
+    1. Parse user description from arguments
+       If empty: ERROR "No feature description provided"
+    2. Extract key concepts from description
+       Identify: actors, actions, data, constraints
+    3. For unclear aspects:
+       - Make informed guesses based on context and industry standards
+       - Only mark with [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: specific question] if:
+         - The choice significantly impacts feature scope or user experience
+         - Multiple reasonable interpretations exist with different implications
+         - No reasonable default exists
+       - **LIMIT: Maximum 3 [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers total**
+       - Prioritize clarifications by impact: scope > security/privacy > user experience > technical details
+    4. Fill User Scenarios & Testing section
+       If no clear user flow: ERROR "Cannot determine user scenarios"
+    5. Generate Functional Requirements
+       Each requirement must be testable
+       Use reasonable defaults for unspecified details (document assumptions in Assumptions section)
+    6. Define Success Criteria
+       Create measurable, technology-agnostic outcomes
+       Include both quantitative metrics (time, performance, volume) and qualitative measures (user satisfaction, task completion)
+       Each criterion must be verifiable without implementation details
+    7. Identify Key Entities (if data involved)
+    8. Return: SUCCESS (spec ready for planning)
+
+6. Write the specification to SPEC_FILE using the template structure, replacing placeholders with concrete details derived from the feature description (arguments) while preserving section order and headings.
+
+7. **Specification Quality Validation**: After writing the initial spec, validate it against quality criteria:
+
+   a. **Create Spec Quality Checklist**: Generate a checklist file at `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY/checklists/requirements.md` using the checklist template structure with these validation items:
+
+      ```markdown
+      # Specification Quality Checklist: [FEATURE NAME]
+      
+      **Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning
+      **Created**: [DATE]
+      **Feature**: [Link to spec.md]
+      
+      ## Content Quality
+      
+      - [ ] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
+      - [ ] Focused on user value and business needs
+      - [ ] Written for non-technical stakeholders
+      - [ ] All mandatory sections completed
+      
+      ## Requirement Completeness
+      
+      - [ ] No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
+      - [ ] Requirements are testable and unambiguous

+      
+      ## Notes
+      
+      - Items marked incomplete require spec updates before `/speckit.clarify` or `/speckit.plan`
+      ```
+
+   b. **Run Validation Check**: Review the spec against each checklist item:
+      - For each item, determine if it passes or fails
+      - Document specific issues found (quote relevant spec sections)
+
+   c. **Handle Validation Results**:
+
+      - **If all items pass**: Mark checklist complete and proceed to step 7
+
+      - **If items fail (excluding [NEEDS CLARIFICATION])**:
+        1. List the failing items and specific issues
+        2. Update the spec to address each issue
+        3. Re-run validation until all items pass (max 3 iterations)
+        4. If still failing after 3 iterations, document remaining issues in checklist notes and warn user
+
+      - **If [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain**:
+        1. Extract all [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: ...] markers from the spec
+        2. **LIMIT CHECK**: If more than 3 markers exist, keep only the 3 most critical (by scope/security/UX impact) and make informed guesses for the rest
+        3. For each clarification needed (max 3), present options to user in this format:
+
+           ```markdown
+           ## Question [N]: [Topic]
+           
+           **Context**: [Quote relevant spec section]
+           
+           **What we need to know**: [Specific question from NEEDS CLARIFICATION marker]
+           
+           **Suggested Answers**:
+           
+           | Option | Answer | Implications |
+           |--------|--------|--------------|
+           | A      | [First suggested answer] | [What this means for the feature] |
+           | B      | [Second suggested answer] | [What this means for the feature] |
+           | C      | [Third suggested answer] | [What this means for the feature] |
+           | Custom | Provide your own answer | [Explain how to provide custom input] |
+           
+           **Your choice**: _[Wait for user response]_
+           ```
+
+        4. **CRITICAL - Table Formatting**: Ensure markdown tables are properly formatted:
+           - Use consistent spacing with pipes aligned
+           - Each cell should have spaces around content: `| Content |` not `|Content|`
+           - Header separator must have at least 3 dashes: `|--------|`
+           - Test that the table renders correctly in markdown preview
+        5. Number questions sequentially (Q1, Q2, Q3 - max 3 total)
+        6. Present all questions together before waiting for responses
+        7. Wait for user to respond with their choices for all questions (e.g., "Q1: A, Q2: Custom - [details], Q3: B")
+        8. Update the spec by replacing each [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] marker with the user's selected or provided answer
+        9. Re-run validation after all clarifications are resolved
+
+   d. **Update Checklist**: After each validation iteration, update the checklist file with current pass/fail status
+
+8. **Report completion** to the user with:
+   - `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY` — the feature directory path
+   - `SPEC_FILE` — the spec file path
+   - Checklist results summary
+   - Readiness for the next phase (`/speckit.clarify` or `/speckit.plan`)
+
+9. **Check for extension hooks**: After reporting completion, check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+   - If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.after_specify` key
+   - If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally
+   - Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.
+   - For each remaining hook, do **not** attempt to interpret or evaluate hook `condition` expressions:
+     - If the hook has no `condition` field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
+     - If the hook defines a non-empty `condition`, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
+   - For each executable hook, output the following based on its `optional` flag:
+     - **Optional hook** (`optional: true`):
+       ```
+       ## Extension Hooks
+
+       **Optional Hook**: {extension}
+       Command: `/{command}`
+       Description: {description}
+
+       Prompt: {prompt}
+       To execute: `/{command}`
+       ```
+     - **Mandatory hook** (`optional: false`):
+       ```
+       ## Extension Hooks
+
+       **Automatic Hook**: {extension}
+       Executing: `/{command}`
+       EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+       ```
+   - If no hooks are registered or `.specify/extensions.yml` does not exist, skip silently
+
+**NOTE:** Branch creation is handled by the `before_specify` hook (git extension). Spec directory and file creation are always handled by this core command.
+
+## Quick Guidelines
+
+- Focus on **WHAT** users need and **WHY**.
+- Avoid HOW to implement (no tech stack, APIs, code structure).
+- Written for business stakeholders, not developers.
+- DO NOT create any checklists that are embedded in the spec. That will be a separate command.
+
+### Section Requirements
+
+- **Mandatory sections**: Must be completed for every feature
+- **Optional sections**: Include only when relevant to the feature
+- When a section doesn't apply, remove it entirely (don't leave as "N/A")
+
+### For AI Generation
+
+When creating this spec from a user prompt:
+
+1. **Make informed guesses**: Use context, industry standards, and common patterns to fill gaps
+2. **Document assumptions**: Record reasonable defaults in the Assumptions section
+3. **Limit clarifications**: Maximum 3 [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers - use only for critical decisions that:
+   - Significantly impact feature scope or user experience
+   - Have multiple reasonable interpretations with different implications
+   - Lack any reasonable default
+4. **Prioritize clarifications**: scope > security/privacy > user experience > technical details
+5. **Think like a tester**: Every vague requirement should fail the "testable and unambiguous" checklist item
+6. **Common areas needing clarification** (only if no reasonable default exists):
+   - Feature scope and boundaries (include/exclude specific use cases)
+   - User types and permissions (if multiple conflicting interpretations possible)
+   - Security/compliance requirements (when legally/financially significant)
+
+**Examples of reasonable defaults** (don't ask about these):
+
+- Data retention: Industry-standard practices for the domain
+- Performance targets: Standard web/mobile app expectations unless specified
+- Error handling: User-friendly messages with appropriate fallbacks
+- Authentication method: Standard session-based or OAuth2 for web apps
+- Integration patterns: Use project-appropriate patterns (REST/GraphQL for web services, function calls for libraries, CLI args for tools, etc.)
+
+### Success Criteria Guidelines
+
+Success criteria must be:
+
+1. **Measurable**: Include specific metrics (time, percentage, count, rate)
+2. **Technology-agnostic**: No mention of frameworks, languages, databases, or tools
+3. **User-focused**: Describe outcomes from user/business perspective, not system internals
+4. **Verifiable**: Can be tested/validated without knowing implementation details
+
+**Good examples**:
+
+- "Users can complete checkout in under 3 minutes"
+- "System supports 10,000 concurrent users"
+- "95% of searches return results in under 1 second"
+- "Task completion rate improves by 40%"
+
+**Bad examples** (implementation-focused):
+
+- "API response time is under 200ms" (too technical, use "Users see results instantly")
+- "Database can handle 1000 TPS" (implementation detail, use user-facing metric)
+- "React components render efficiently" (framework-specific)
+- "Redis cache hit rate above 80%" (technology-specific)
