10
+ - The unit's SPEC.md objective and why sections
11
+ - The project's architecture doc (if any)
12
+ - The project's domain docs referenced by the documentation map

+ - [ ] At least one source was inspected (repo evidence, external docs, or both)
26
+ - [ ] Uncertainties about the unit's domain are stated explicitly
27
+ - [ ] No design decision was made that contradicts the source evidence
28
+ - [ ] 2-3 reliable sources max for design questions; cite as URLs, not directives
29
+ - [ ] Partial results with visible gaps are a valid stop — record the gaps

35

6

+
8
+ ## Inputs
9
+
10
+ - The unit's Evidence section (reviewer re-runs it)
11
+ - The unit's Acceptance criteria (to compare AC section hash with triage time)
12
+ - The review-pack axes from the project's Workflow conventions

30
+ - [ ] Wording/cosmetic notes are report-notes, never a cycle restart reason
31
+ - [ ] Verdict uses only the closed set: PASS or FAIL
32

+ ## Allowed
34
+
35
+ - Report notes on wording, formatting, or cosmetic issues
36
+ - Observations about code quality that do not affect the ACs
37
+ - Suggestions for future improvements (not current unit scope)

- # Design Feature
16
-
17
- Product definition — the stage that turns an idea or a feature request into an
18
- exhaustive, checkable set of acceptance criteria, before any engineering
19
- planning happens. **Docs only — no code, no branch.**
20
-
21
- ## Turn contract
22
-
23
- Load and verify the **canonical** [Turn contract](.claude/skills/orchestration-envelope/references/TURN_CONTRACT.md) (11 boxes) before ending every turn. Design-specific closure boxes (product half, capability/role matrix, expectation sweep, upsert) live only in [INTERVIEW.md](references/INTERVIEW.md). Missing reference → STOP.
24
-
25
- ## When to use
26
-
27
- - A rough idea, no issue yet, and no SPEC: `design-feature "<idea>"`.
28
- - An existing feature slug whose SPEC is not yet marked `designed`:
29
- `design-feature <NN-slug>`.
30
- - Revising an already-designed feature's product definition:
31
- `design-feature <NN-slug> "<change>"` (instruction mode), or bare
32
- `design-feature <NN-slug>` for review mode (see *Interaction & upsert*).
33
- - `plan-feature` redirects here when it detects an undesigned feature or a
34
- product choice a `review-spec` `NEEDS-DESIGN` verdict returned to the human.
35
-
36
- ## Step 0 — Discover the project (always first)
37
-
38
- Per the agent guide's **Workflow conventions** + **documentation map**, then
39
- read what THIS skill needs: `docs/features/_TEMPLATE/SPEC.md` (the two-halves
40
- layout + `## Design status` marker), the roadmap (`docs/features/ROADMAP.md`),
41
- the **capability inventory** (`docs/CAPABILITIES.md` — the substrate the
42
- Integration closure walks; if the project has none, derive an ad-hoc inventory
43
- from the architecture doc + codebase during step 5 and offer to seed the file
44
- from the template), and — if the slug already has a folder — its existing
45
- `SPEC.md` and `decisions.md` in full (upsert never starts blind). Skim the
46
- architecture and domain docs relevant to the idea's area only far enough to
47
- ground capability closure in the project's real entities and roles — deep
48
- engineering research is the Engineering half's job, not this one.
49
-
50
- Consume the internal [evidence-grounding](<../evidence-grounding/SKILL.md>)
51
- capability for the ordered passes and the readiness preflight: inventory →
52
- evidence → draft → cut → readiness. Its outcomes (`READY-FOR-REVIEW |
53
- NEEDS-EVIDENCE | NEEDS-DESIGN | NEEDS-REPLAN`) are an authoring gate, never an
54
- approval: only `review-spec` can approve a Product half.
55
-
56
- ## Research gate (mandatory, fail-closed)
57
-
58
- Before the Product half is emitted, run the research gate in the evidence pass
59
- (step 2 of the ordered passes):
60
-
61
- - **Fetch the domain** — acquire **at least two externally fetched sources** on
62
- the capability's domain (fetch/WebFetch/browser): how the domain defines and
63
- solves this capability. Repo evidence alone cannot ground a design; the bias
64
- this gate closes is designing from what the repository already believes.
65
- Each fetched source becomes an evidence row (URL and access date).
66
- - **Cover the full definition** — the rows must state what the capability **is
67
- and what it is not**, and the **user's expectation of it** — accepted and
68
- rejected inputs, boundaries, semantics — not just the project's current
69
- framing of it.
70
- - **Decompose every enunciated expectation** — expand each expectation the
71
- user enunciates into the implicit case decomposition it implies **before**
72
- the Product half is cut: valid and invalid values and limits, interaction
73
- states, degraded mode, backend validation/filtering/parsing, alternate user
74
- paths. The canonical case: a "phone number input" is not a field — it is the
75
- whole case vector (prefixes/suffixes, lengths, non-text rejection, focus,
76
- no-JS/JS behavior, backend filtering/validation/parsing) that the product
77
- owner's one-liner hides.
78
- - **Fail closed** — offline, or a material question the fetches do not answer,
79
- returns `NEEDS-EVIDENCE` with the named owner and next fetch: never a guess,
80
- never an invented citation.
81
- - **Research before encode** — platform semantics a test will encode are
82
- verified against authoritative documentation before the test exists (the
83
- prevention half of `verification-contract`'s test-immutability contract).
84
-
85
- ## Progressive loading — resolve status before product detail
86
-
87
- The reference allowlist is exactly the paths linked below. Never invent or read
88
- another `references/` path; in the DEFER column, bare names live in the same
89
- directory as the links.
90
-
91
- **Hard stop for an incomplete raw-idea interview:** LOAD exactly
92
- `references/INTERVIEW.md` and no other reference. Present its ONE compact
93
- form-turn — the ≤ 6 fixed rubric slots plus the identity rows, each carrying a
94
- recommended default the user can accept with one word — then return
95
- `NEEDS_INPUT` and end the turn when slots remain unresolved; genuine ambiguity
96
- gets at most **2 follow-up turns**, never a third ask. `WRITE_AND_UPSERT.md` is
97
- forbidden until every mandatory interview slot is resolved; that resource then
98
- owns closure rows and writing.
99
-
100
- | Condition now | LOAD now | DEFER / SKIP now |
101
- |---|---|---|
102
- | Bare existing slug, no instruction | [interview](references/INTERVIEW.md) through its interaction rule; report status and stop | `WRITE_AND_UPSERT.md`, `UPSERT_EXAMPLE.md`, `REPAIR.md`, `PORTABILITY.md` |
103
- | Brand-new idea with any mandatory interview slot unresolved | [interview](references/INTERVIEW.md) only; present exactly one form-turn (≤ 6 slots + identity, each with a default) and stop | `WRITE_AND_UPSERT.md`, `UPSERT_EXAMPLE.md`, `REPAIR.md`, `PORTABILITY.md` |
104
- | New idea after every mandatory interview slot resolves | [interview](references/INTERVIEW.md), then [closure, write, and upsert](references/WRITE_AND_UPSERT.md) | `UPSERT_EXAMPLE.md` unless shape is ambiguous; `REPAIR.md`, `PORTABILITY.md` |
105
- | Existing slug plus instruction | interview, then closure/write/upsert | [upsert example](references/UPSERT_EXAMPLE.md) unless shape is ambiguous; `REPAIR.md`, `PORTABILITY.md` |
106
- | Existing slug whose `progress.md` carries `SPEC-REVIEW-FAIL` or `NEEDS-DESIGN` | [interview](references/INTERVIEW.md), then [review repair](references/REPAIR.md) | `UPSERT_EXAMPLE.md`, `PORTABILITY.md` |
107
- | A named platform primitive is absent | the selected row above plus [portability](references/PORTABILITY.md) | only unrelated rows |
108
-
109
- Do not load write/upsert while an interview slot is unresolved. A supported
110
- primitive is not absent merely because the current task does not use it.
111
-
112
- All resources are one hop from this file. Closure rows, role matrices,
113
- expectation counts, fixed status blocks, and Spec-lint are normative. A missing
114
- required resource or unresolved mandatory slot returns NEEDS_INPUT; never guess.
115
-
116
- ## Guardrails
117
-
118
- - **No review authority.** This skill authors and repairs the Product half; it
119
- never approves it. Neither `## Design status: designed` nor a readiness
120
- `READY-FOR-REVIEW` line is a review verdict: `review-spec` owns that, in a
121
- context that did not write these bytes. Never write or "sync" a
122
- `PreExecutionReviewReceipt` — the reviewer persists its own.
123
- - **Rotate the revision on every write.** Each write of the Product half is a new
124
- `artifactRevisionId`, a revert to previously published bytes included, and the
125
- closing handoff carries it. Skipping the rotation revives a stale PASS.
126
- - Docs only — no code, no branch (that is `execute-phase`), no engineering content
127
- (architecture, design, phases, testing — `plan-feature`'s Engineering half; do
128
- not pre-fill it even when the answer seems obvious).
129
- - Never stamp `## Design status: designed` with a blank Capability closure row,
130
- a skipped inventory subsystem, an incomplete role matrix, or an unresolved
131
- Expectation sweep row — a skipped row silently un-does the entire point of
132
- this skill.
133
- - The Expectation sweep enumerates **domain conventions**, not new scope: it
134
- may only route each expectation to in-scope / out-of-scope / deferred — it
135
- never silently grows the feature beyond what the user confirms.
136
- - No market or competitive research — the mandatory research gate above is
137
- this skill's only external research; no global skill/MCP discovery
138
- sweep (`product-audit`'s job); no `--update` flag — upsert is always the
139
- default behavior, not an opt-in.
140
- - Don't build a separate `DESIGN.md` — one SPEC, two halves, always.
141
- - **Composition tier.** This skill is planning-class (judgment work — run it
142
- on your strongest model / highest effort). `plan-feature-from-issue`
143
- composing this skill in-turn for a thin issue is allowed only when it runs
144
- at ≥ this skill's tier; otherwise it must hand off (`run /design-feature
145
- <slug>`) rather than under-power it.
146
- - Otherwise per the project's **Workflow conventions** (docs-language).
147
-
148
- ## Normalized Repository State
149
-
150
- Consume frozen facts and decisions from `docs/workflow/REPOSITORY_STATE.md`.
151
- An absent fact may be inspected; a conflict becomes a resolver contradiction.
152
- Documentation and inference are never implementation evidence.
153
-
154
- ## Architectural invariants
155
-
156
- Discover the optional project invariant document declared in the documentation
157
- map (normally `docs/architecture/ARCHITECTURAL_INVARIANTS.md`) before defining a
158
- capability. If absent, record `n/a: no project invariants declared` in the SPEC
159
- and continue. For every applicable rule, cite its ID and repository evidence and
160
- classify the proposal as `preserves`, `violates`, `introduces`, or `changes`.
161
- Only `preserves` may proceed to capability closure. A violation, new rule, or
162
- changed rule stops design for an explicit architectural decision through the
163
- project's declared authority; never make a SPEC, implementation plan, or test
164
- retroactively authorize it. When NRS exists, consume its frozen facts first;
165
- the repository remains authoritative and a conflict routes to the resolver.
166
-
167
-
168
- ## Portability
169
-
170
- Do not read [portability](references/PORTABILITY.md) on a supported platform.
171
- Read it only after detecting that a named interaction primitive is absent. The
172
- interview, closure, upsert, and fixed output contracts stay identical.
173
-
174
- ## Relationship to other skills
175
-
176
- - `review-spec` is the gate this skill hands to: a designed half is reviewed
177
- independently before `plan-feature` may consume it. `plan-feature` fails closed
178
- without that current receipt, so handing off here — not to `plan-feature` — is
179
- what keeps the pipeline honest.
180
- - `plan-feature` **redirects here** (no bypass flag) when a feature's product
181
- half is not marked `designed` or has no current review; once `review-spec`
182
- passes, `plan-feature` fills the Engineering half and scaffolds the artifacts.
183
- - `plan-feature-from-issue` may compose this skill in-turn for a thin issue
184
- (only at ≥ tier — see *Guardrails*), or hand off to it directly. It stops at
185
- the Product half and `review-spec` — it no longer continues into engineering
186
- planning in the same turn.
187
- - `evidence-grounding` owns the passes and the readiness vocabulary this skill
188
- consumes; it never emits a review verdict either.
189
- - `triage-issue`'s `promote-to-feature` verdict routes through `plan-feature`,
190
- which redirects here if the promoted issue is still undesigned.
191
- - `execute-phase` never calls this skill — it only executes an already-planned
192
- SPEC's Engineering half.
193
-
194
- ## Done when
195
-
196
- - The Product half of the SPEC is filled and every Capability closure row is
197
- resolved (filled surface or explicit `n/a`).
198
- - `## Design status` accurately reflects the outcome (`designed` only when
199
- closure is complete).
200
- - The roadmap row exists (created at `idea` if this was a brand-new feature)
201
- and its status matches the outcome — `defined` when `designed`, left at
202
- `idea` on `NEEDS_INPUT`.
203
- - The readiness preflight ran and returned `READY-FOR-REVIEW`, or the turn ended
204
- with its exact blocking outcome.
205
- - The handoff states the current `artifactRevisionId`.
206
- - **The closing `→ Next:` block is printed:**
207
-
208
- ```
209
- → Next: /review-spec <slug> — product half designed and readiness-clean; it needs an
210
- independent review before any engineering planning
211
- · more to design → re-run /design-feature <slug> "<instruction>" (upsert, destroys nothing,
212
- rotates the artifact revision)
213
- · recurring gap in this project's capability closure → /product-audit (a systemic pattern,
214
- not a one-off design fix)
215
- ```
216
-
217
- When ending `NEEDS_INPUT` instead:
218
-
219
- ```
220
- → Next: answer the pending question, then re-run /design-feature <slug>
221
- · unsure how to scope it → propose the smallest version and confirm
222
- ```
223
-
224
- When readiness returned `NEEDS-EVIDENCE` or `NEEDS-REPLAN`:
225
-
226
- ```
227
- → Next: /design-feature <slug> "<the missing evidence>" — readiness returned
228
- NEEDS-EVIDENCE for <rows>; do not invoke /review-spec on an artifact that is
229
- not readiness-clean
230

- ## Process
2
-
3
- 1. **Resolve the slug.** A raw idea with no existing folder → propose a number
4
- (next free roadmap slot) and a kebab-case slug; confirm before writing. An
5
- existing `NN-slug` → that folder's `SPEC.md` (create the folder + copy the
6
- template if the roadmap has the row but no folder yet).
7
- 2. **Interaction rule (fixed — no interpretation):**
8
- - **Bare `design-feature <slug>`** (existing SPEC/decisions found): print a
9
- summary of what the feature currently does (or would do, from a fresh
10
- idea) → ask what to add / remove / change. This doubles as review mode.
11
- - **`design-feature <slug> <instruction>`**: apply the instruction
12
- directly, no questions — touch only what the instruction implies. Still
13
- re-reads the existing SPEC/decisions first (upsert, never blind).
14
- - **Nothing exists yet** (brand-new idea, no prior SPEC): go straight to
15
- step 3 (interview), since there is nothing to review or upsert.
16
- 3. **Raw-idea interview (folded in, only when starting from zero or the
17
- instruction leaves genuine gaps).** Fixed protocol — structural, not
18
- judgement:
19
- - **One form-turn, then at most 2 follow-up turns.** The first interview
20
- turn is ONE compact form covering every rubric slot below plus the
21
- identity slots, each row carrying a recommended default the user accepts
22
- with one word (or edits in place). Ask nothing the docs or the instruction
23
- already answer. Genuine ambiguity the form cannot resolve gets at most
24
- **2 follow-up turns** — never a third ask.
25
- - **Vagueness rubric (fixed slots — the form rows ARE this list).**
26
- Probe each slot until it is filled or explicitly `n/a: <reason>`:
27
- 1. **Affected users/roles** — who uses it; who must not.
28
- 2. **Error & edge states** — what happens on failure / empty / invalid.
29
- 3. **Data shape** — what is stored and shown, roughly.
30
- 4. **Boundaries & limits** — sizes, counts, rates, thresholds.
31
- 5. **Out of scope** — what this deliberately does NOT do.
32
- 6. **Success criteria** — how we verify it worked.
33
- - **Mandatory-question rule.** A stated requirement that has no verifiable
34
- acceptance criterion yet is automatically the next question — no
35
- requirement enters the SPEC without one.
36
- - **Reframe, don't interrogate.** Restate each vague requirement as
37
- measurable criteria ("fast" → "list renders < 200 ms at 1k rows") and
38
- ask: "are these the right targets?" — a yes converts directly into
39
- acceptance criteria.
40
- - **Deferred decisions.** An answer of "decide later" is recorded as a row
41
- in the SPEC's `### Deferred decisions` (with a decide-by trigger) —
42
- never dropped, never silently guessed.
43
- - **Escalation (structural).** If, after the interview, **≥ 3 rubric slots
44
- remain empty** (neither filled nor `n/a`), do not guess: end the turn
45
- `NEEDS_INPUT`, listing the empty slots verbatim as the pending
46
- questions — the feature is not designable yet. Ambiguity that survives the
47
- follow-up budget escalates the same way (`interview:ambiguity-cap`): the
48
- 2-turn cap never licenses a third ask.
49
- - The identity questions ride the same form-turn: problem & goal, business
50
- goals, size estimate (`XS/S/M/L` — XS/S stays SPEC-only, M/L gets the
51
- full artifact set), non-goals / future work, traceability (offer a
52
- tracking issue; if created, the eventual PR will `Closes #n`).
53
- 4. **Proportional research.** Capability closure (step 5) is cheap and comes
54
- first. Reach for external or domain research **only** when the feature
55
- touches a domain genuinely new to the project (a regulation, an unfamiliar
56
- integration, an industry convention with no precedent in the codebase) —
57
- never as a systematic per-feature step.
