+
+# Java Development
+
+## General Instructions
+
+- First, prompt the user if they want to integrate static analysis tools (SonarQube, PMD, Checkstyle) into their project setup.
+  - If yes, document a recommended static-analysis setup. 
+    - Prefer SonarQube/SonarCloud (SonarLint in IDE + `sonar-scanner` in CI).
+    - Create a Sonar project key.
+    - Store the scanner token in CI secrets.
+    - Provide a sample CI job that runs the scanner.
+    - If the team declines Sonar, note this in the project README and continue.
+  - If Sonar is bound to the project:
+    - Use Sonar as the primary source of actionable issues.
+    - Reference Sonar rule keys in remediation guidance.
+  - If Sonar is unavailable:
+    - Perform up to 3 troubleshooting checks:
+      1. Verify project binding and token.
+      2. Ensure SonarScanner runs in CI.
+      3. Confirm SonarLint is installed and configured.
+    - If still failing after 3 attempts:
+      - Enable SpotBugs, PMD, or Checkstyle as CI fallbacks.
+      - Open a short tracker issue documenting the blocker and next steps.
+- If the user declines static analysis tools or wants to proceed without them, continue with implementing the Best practices, bug patterns and code smell prevention guidelines outlined below.
+- Address code smells proactively during development rather than accumulating technical debt.
+- Focus on readability, maintainability, and performance when refactoring identified issues.
+- Use IDE / Code editor reported warnings and suggestions to catch common patterns early in development.
+
+## Best practices
+
+- **Records**: For classes primarily intended to store data (e.g., DTOs, immutable data structures), **Java Records should be used instead of traditional classes**.
+- **Pattern Matching**: Utilize pattern matching for `instanceof` and `switch` expression to simplify conditional logic and type casting.
+- **Type Inference**: Use `var` for local variable declarations to improve readability, but only when the type is explicitly clear from the right-hand side of the expression.
+- **Immutability**: Favor immutable objects. Make classes and fields `final` where possible. Use collections from `List.of()`/`Map.of()` for fixed data. Use `Stream.toList()` to create immutable lists.
+- **Streams and Lambdas**: Use the Streams API and lambda expressions for collection processing. Employ method references (e.g., `stream.map(Foo::toBar)`).
+- **Null Handling**: Avoid returning or accepting `null`. Use `Optional<T>` for possibly-absent values and `Objects` utility methods like `equals()` and `requireNonNull()`.
+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+- Follow Google's Java style guide:
+  - `UpperCamelCase` for class and interface names.
+  - `lowerCamelCase` for method and variable names.
+  - `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` for constants.
+  - `lowercase` for package names.
+- Use nouns for classes (`UserService`) and verbs for methods (`getUserById`).
+- Avoid abbreviations and Hungarian notation.
+
+### Common Bug Patterns
+
+Below are concise, human-readable rules you can apply regardless of which static analysis tool you use. If you run Sonar/SonarLint, the IDE will show the matching rule and location — direct Sonar connections are preferred and should override this ruleset.
+
+- Resource management — Always close resources (files, sockets, streams). Use try-with-resources where possible so resources are closed automatically.
+- Equality checks — Compare object equality with `.equals()` or `Objects.equals(...)` rather than `==` for non-primitives; this avoids reference-equality bugs.
+- Redundant casts — Remove unnecessary casts; prefer correct generic typing and let the compiler infer types where possible.
+- Reachable conditions — Avoid conditional expressions that are always true or false; they indicate bugs or dead code and should be corrected.
+
+For contributors who *do* use Sonar or SonarLint: the IDE/scan will show the specific rule key (for example, S2095 for resource leaks) and the affected file/line. Use that information to navigate to the exact location, then apply the recommended remediation.
+
+### Common Code Smells
+
+These patterns are phrased for humans; they map cleanly to checks in Sonar, SpotBugs, PMD, or Checkstyle but do not require those tools to be useful.
+
+- Parameter count — Keep method parameter lists short. If a method needs many params, consider grouping into a value object or using the builder pattern.
+- Method size — Keep methods focused and small. Extract helper methods to improve readability and testability.
+- Cognitive complexity — Reduce nested conditionals and heavy branching by extracting methods, using polymorphism, or applying the Strategy pattern.
+- Duplicated literals — Extract repeated strings and numbers into named constants or enums to reduce errors and ease changes.
+- Dead code — Remove unused variables and assignments. They confuse readers and can hide bugs.
+- Magic numbers — Replace numeric literals with named constants that explain intent (e.g., MAX_RETRIES).
+
+If you run a static analyzer like Sonar or SonarLint — direct Sonar connections are preferred and should override this ruleset. Sonar rule keys are useful for automation and suppression, but they are not required in day-to-day developer guidance.
+
+## Build and Verification
+
+- After adding or modifying code, verify the project continues to build successfully.
+- If the project uses Maven, run `mvn clean install`.
+- If the project uses Gradle, run `./gradlew build` (or `gradlew.bat build` on Windows).
+- Ensure all tests pass as part of the build.

+description: Universal operating rules for all Vesper subagents — codebase query protocol, terminal discipline, tool usage patterns, and response standards. Use when any subagent needs to search code, run terminal commands, perform file operations, or produce output. This is the baseline skill every Vesper subagent should follow.
+---
+
+# Vesper Agent Fundamentals
+
+Universal operating rules for every subagent in the Vesper ecosystem. These are non-negotiable behaviors — not guidelines.
+
+## Codebase Query Protocol
+
+**PRIMARY**: `vesper-indexing` MCP tools are the first-choice codebase exploration method.
+
+| Tool                                  | Purpose                                               |
+| ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| `mcp__vesper-indexing__vesper_search`  | Full-text code search → returns snippets + file paths |
+| `mcp__vesper-indexing__vesper_symbols` | Find functions, classes, exports by name + location   |
+| `mcp__vesper-indexing__vesper_status`  | Check index health before querying                    |
+| `mcp__vesper-indexing__vesper_reindex` | Rebuild index if stale or empty                       |
+
+- Results include actual source code — skip `Read` unless you need wider surrounding context.
+- If the index is empty or MCP unavailable → **STOP and report**. Do NOT silently fall back to directory traversals or `find` commands.
+- For broader exploration beyond indexed content: `Grep`, `Glob` are acceptable secondary tools.
+- **Archives are off-limits in normal pipelines**: never read, grep, or search `.vesper/history-archive/` or `.vesper/.tracking/archive/` during ordinary work — they are index-excluded and reachable only via `/revalidate-knowledge`. See [codebase-query.md](references/codebase-query.md).
+
+## Terminal Discipline
+
+See [terminal-discipline.md](references/terminal-discipline.md) for expanded rules and examples.
+
+| Rule                       | Requirement                                                            |
+| --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Timeout**                | Every command gets one. Quick=15s, build=120s, test=300s. Default=30s. |
+| **No foreground blockers** | `tail -f`, `watch`, dev servers → always run with `run_in_background: true`. |
+| **Output cap**             | `\| head -30` if output may exceed 50 lines.                           |
+| **Stderr capture**         | `2>&1 \| head -N` for both stdout and stderr.                          |
+| **No `cd &&` chaining**    | Use `pushd path && command && popd` instead.                           |
+| **Runtime version guard**  | Node commands → check `.nvmrc`/`.node-version`, chain `nvm use` in the same call. Ignore if unavailable. |
+| **Tools-first**            | Never use `Bash` for tasks built-in tools handle.                     |
+
+## Tool Usage Hierarchy
+
+See [tool-usage-patterns.md](references/tool-usage-patterns.md) for comprehensive patterns and anti-patterns.
+
+**Always prefer built-in tools over `Bash` equivalents:**
+
+| Task          | ✅ Correct Tool          | ❌ Never Do This                             |
+| -------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| Read a file   | `Read`                    | `cat`, `less`, `node -e "fs.readFileSync()"` |
+| Search code   | `Grep`, `mcp__vesper-indexing__vesper_search` | `grep -r`, `find . -exec grep` |
+| Find files    | `Glob`                    | `find .`, `ls -R`, `tree`                    |
+| Create a file | `Write`                   | `echo > file`, `python -c "open().write()"`  |
+| Edit a file   | `Edit`                    | `sed -i`, `node -e "fs.writeFileSync()"`     |
+| Check errors  | `Bash` (the project's own lint/typecheck command) | Manual terminal compilation |
+
+## Secret & Credential Handling
+
+**NEVER write a secret to a file.** No token, API key, password, private key, or connection string carrying an embedded secret may be written into any file you `Write` or `Edit` — regardless of git host, language, or task.
+
+| Trigger                                                          | Required Action                                                                                                                                                        |
+| ---------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| A value about to be written looks like a token/credential/secret | **STOP** — do not write it. Require explicit user confirmation before proceeding.                                                                                      |
+| You are a subagent and cannot ask the user directly              | **Escalate, don't write** — surface the blocker and stop (same reflex as the Codebase Query Protocol's "STOP and report"), rather than silently writing the secret. Return `NEED_HELP` to the orchestrator so a human is asked before any write. |
+| The user explicitly approves writing the value                   | Proceed, then **record the approved exception** back into the project's instructions (`CLAUDE.md` or the relevant `.claude/vesper/*.md`) so the same value isn't re-flagged on a later pass. |
+
+- Detection is on the **value**, not the file: a secret-shaped string (a long random token, `ghp_…`/`glpat-…`-style prefixes, a PEM `-----BEGIN … PRIVATE KEY-----` block, a `user:password@host` connection URL) triggers the stop — even inside configs, tests, or docs.
+- Prefer a placeholder or environment-variable reference (`${MY_TOKEN}`) over the literal secret whenever a file genuinely needs the name.
+- When in doubt, halt and surface it — never silently work around it.
+
+## Direct Collaboration (Nested Delegation)
+
+If your toolset includes `Agent`, you may delegate directly to another specialist instead of returning `NEED_HELP` to the orchestrator. This is the preferred path for bounded assists — it saves a full round-trip through the orchestrator.
+
+**Protocol:**
+
+1. **Roster only**: Pick the collaborator from the Team Roster (`.claude/vesper/orchestration.md`) and use its **exact name** as the `subagent_type`. If it's not on the roster, it doesn't exist.
+2. **Depth accounting**: Your delegation prompt includes a `Nesting depth: N` marker (the orchestrator is depth 0; its direct delegates are depth 1). When you delegate, include `Nesting depth: N+1` in the prompt. If no marker was given, assume you are at depth 1.
+3. **Depth budget**: If your depth N ≥ 3, do NOT delegate — end with `Status: NEED_HELP` instead and describe what you need in `Next:`. (The platform maximum is 5; stopping at 3 leaves headroom for your collaborator to make one nested call of its own.)
+4. **Point assists only**: Nested delegation is for a bounded question, review, lookup, or gap-fill — never for executing a whole pipeline step that belongs on the orchestrator's todo list. If the work you need is a pipeline step, return `NEED_HELP`.
+5. **Self-contained prompts**: Same rules the orchestrator follows — include file paths, enough background to act, the expected output, the depth marker, and the requirement to end with the `Status:/Summary:/Next:` footer.
+6. **Fold results in**: Your collaborator's final message returns to YOU, not the orchestrator. Incorporate it into your own artifacts/output, and note the collaboration in your final `Summary:` so the orchestrator has the full picture.
+7. **Fallback is always available**: `Agent` tool missing from your toolset, the call fails, or the depth budget is spent → end with `Status: NEED_HELP` and what you need in `Next:`. The orchestrator will route it.
+
+## Response Standards
+
+- **Be direct**: State findings, don't narrate your process.
+- **Show evidence**: Back claims with file paths, line numbers, or code snippets.
+- **Report blockers immediately**: If MCP tools fail, index is empty, or permissions block you — say so. Don't silently work around it.
+- **No verbose preambles**: Skip "I'll now..." or "Let me..." — just do the work.
+- **Structured output**: Use Markdown tables, bullet lists, and code blocks. Walls of text = failure.

+# Codebase Query Protocol
+
+How Vesper subagents should explore and understand any codebase.
+
+## Priority Order
+
+```
+1. vesper-indexing MCP tools       (PRIMARY — always try first)
+2. Grep                            (SECONDARY — when index lacks coverage)
+3. Glob + Read                     (TERTIARY — targeted file inspection)
+4. Bash                            (LAST RESORT — only for operations with no built-in equivalent)
+```
+
+## Archive Exclusion (normal pipelines)
+
+Archived knowledge directories — `.vesper/history-archive/`, `.vesper/.tracking/archive/`, and `.vesper/.tracking/stories/completed/archive/` — are **excluded from all normal-pipeline reads, greps, and searches**. They are also excluded from the `vesper-indexing` index (`DEFAULT_EXCLUDES`), so `vesper_search`/`vesper_symbols` never surface their contents. Do NOT `Grep`, `Read`, or otherwise crawl these paths during ordinary research, planning, implementation, or review work. They hold intentionally retired material (rotated history, archived tracking artifacts) and are reachable **only** through the explicit `/revalidate-knowledge` flow, which re-validates archived knowledge against current code. If you think you need something from an archive, that is a signal to surface `/revalidate-knowledge` to the user — not to read the archive directly.
+
+## vesper-indexing MCP Tools
+
+### mcp__vesper-indexing__vesper_search
+
+Full-text code search across the indexed workspace. Returns matching code snippets with file paths and line ranges.
+
+```
+Use for: Finding specific code patterns, function calls, variable usage,
+         string literals, error messages, configuration values
+```
+
+**Key behavior**: Results include actual source code. In most cases, you DO NOT need a follow-up `Read` unless you need wider context beyond the returned snippet.
+
+### mcp__vesper-indexing__vesper_symbols
+
+Find functions, classes, exports, and other symbols by name. Returns symbol type, location, and surrounding code.
+
+```
+Use for: Finding function definitions, class declarations, exported modules,
+         understanding module interfaces, locating entry points
+```
+
+### mcp__vesper-indexing__vesper_status
+
+Check the health and state of the search index.
+
+```
+Use for: Verifying the index is populated before querying,
+         checking if a reindex is needed after major file changes
+```
+
+### mcp__vesper-indexing__vesper_reindex
+
+Force a rebuild of the search index.
+
+```
+Use for: After bulk file operations, when vesper_status reports stale data,
+         when search results seem incomplete
+```
+
+## Index Failure Protocol
+
+If vesper-indexing tools fail or return empty results:
+
+1. **STOP** — do not silently fall back
+2. **Report** the failure to the user: "vesper-indexing MCP is unavailable/empty"
+3. **Fall back explicitly** to `Grep` with a note
+4. **Never** start crawling directories with `find`, `ls -R`, or `tree` as a hidden workaround
+
+## Secondary Tools
+
+### Grep
+
+Best for exact text matches, regex patterns, filtering by file type.
+
+```
+Use when:
+- You know the exact string or pattern
+- You need regex matching
+- You want to scope to specific files (glob filter)
+```
+
+### Glob
+
+Best for finding files by name or path pattern.
+
+```
+Use when:
+- You know the filename but not the location
+- You need all files matching a glob (e.g., **/*.test.ts)
+- You're looking for configuration files
+```
+
+## Exploration Efficiency
+
+- **Batch when possible**: Multiple `Grep` calls with regex alternation (`pattern1|pattern2`) instead of sequential single-pattern searches
+- **Read targeted ranges**: Use `Read` with a specific `offset`/`limit`, not the entire file
+- **Use subagents for deep exploration**: For complex multi-step searches, delegate to a specialist subagent (from the Team Roster) via the `Agent` tool instead of manually chaining 10+ search calls. Specialist agents own their own discovery — never invoke a subagent that bypasses the roster.

+# Terminal Discipline — Expanded Rules
+
+Non-negotiable rules for every `Bash` command a subagent executes.
+
+## Timeout Requirements
+
+| Command Type       | Timeout  | Examples                                               |
+| -------------------- | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Quick              | 15s      | `ls`, `cat`, `echo`, `which`, `git status`             |
+| Package management | 60s      | `npm install`, `pip install`, `brew install`            |
+| Build              | 120s     | `npm run build`, `tsc`, `esbuild`, `webpack`           |
+| Test               | 300s     | `npm test`, `vitest run`, `pytest`, `playwright test`  |
+| Default            | 30s      | Anything not in the above categories                   |
+
+**Every command gets a timeout. No exceptions.**
+
+## Background Processes
+
+Commands that never terminate must be run with `run_in_background: true`:
+
+- Dev servers: `npm run dev`, `next dev`, `vite dev`
+- Watch modes: `tsc --watch`, `vitest --watch`, `nodemon`
+- Log tailing: `tail -f`, `docker logs -f`
+- Containers: `docker compose up`
+- Any long-running process the subagent doesn't need to wait for
+
+After starting a background process, check its output via the harness's background-task output mechanism rather than blocking on it.
+
+## Output Control
+
+```bash
+# Cap output to prevent context overflow
+command | head -30
+
+# Capture both stdout and stderr
+command 2>&1 | head -30
+
+# Count lines before displaying
+command | wc -l    # check size first, then decide head limit
+
+# Git: always limit
+git log --oneline -20
+git diff --stat
+
+# Grep: files-only when appropriate
+grep -rl "pattern" src/
+```
+
+**Never** let unbounded output flood the context window. If output might exceed 50 lines, pipe through `head`.
+
+## Directory Navigation
+
+```bash
+# ❌ WRONG — breaks permission-prompt matching (matching starts from `cd`)
+cd /some/path && npm run build
+
+# ✅ CORRECT — preserves working directory, approval matches `npm`
+pushd /some/path && npm run build && popd
+
+# ✅ ALSO CORRECT — if already in the right directory
+npm run build
+```
+
+The `cd && command` pattern breaks command-matching for permission prompts because matching starts from `cd`, not the actual command. Always use `pushd`/`popd` for temporary directory changes.
+
+## Runtime Version Guard (Node/nvm)
+
+Projects that pin a Node version via nvm expect every command to run under that version — running under whatever `node` happens to be on PATH can produce misleading build/test failures or silently wrong behavior.
+
+Before running any Node-based command (`npm`, `npx`, `yarn`, `pnpm`, `node`, or project scripts that wrap them):
+
+1. Check the project root for `.nvmrc` or `.node-version`.
+2. If found, chain `nvm use` into the **same** `Bash` call as the actual command — shell state (including nvm's shell function) does not persist between separate tool calls:
+   ```bash
+   nvm use > /dev/null 2>&1; npm test
+   ```
+3. If `nvm` isn't installed, no version file exists, or the switch fails — proceed anyway with whatever `node` is on PATH. **Never block the task on this.**
+
+Do not run `nvm use` as its own command and expect it to carry over to the next one — it won't.
+
+## curl Rules
+
+- Always set `--max-time 5` to prevent hanging on unresponsive hosts
+- Localhost health checks only without explicit user approval
+- Never curl external URLs without user awareness
+
+## Timeout Recovery
+
+When a command times out:
+
+1. **Diagnose first** — `ps aux | grep <process>` to check if it's still running
+2. **Report to user** — Explain what happened and why
+3. **Don't blindly retry** — The same command will likely time out again
+4. **Suggest alternatives** — Smaller scope, different approach, or user intervention

+# Tool Usage Patterns
+
+Comprehensive guide for when to use which tools. Built-in tools trump `Bash` in every case where they're available.
+
+## File Reading
+
+| Scenario                       | Tool             | Notes                                      |
+| --------------------------------- | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
+| Read known file                | `Read`            | Specify `offset`/`limit` to limit token usage |
+| Read file overview             | `Grep`            | Search for key patterns in the file        |
+| Read file existence            | `Glob`            | Glob pattern matching                      |
+| Read directory listing         | `Glob`/`Bash` (`ls`) | Lists immediate children                |
+
+**Anti-patterns:**
+- `cat file.txt` — use `Read`
+- `less file.txt` — blocks terminal, use `Read`
+- `head -n 50 file.txt` — use `Read` with a line range
+- `node -e "console.log(fs.readFileSync(...))"` — never
+
+## Code Search
+
+| Scenario                        | Tool                                          | Notes                                                |
+| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
+| Primary codebase search         | `mcp__vesper-indexing__vesper_search`          | Full-text, returns snippets with paths + line ranges |
+| Find symbols (functions/classes)| `mcp__vesper-indexing__vesper_symbols`         | Name-based lookup with locations                     |
+| Exact text / regex match        | `Grep`                                          | Fast, supports regex, glob filters                   |
+| Find files by name/glob         | `Glob`                                          | Filename/path patterns only                          |
+
+**Anti-patterns:**
+- `grep -r "pattern" .` — use `Grep`
+- `find . -name "*.ts" -exec grep` — use `Glob` + `Grep`
+- `rg "pattern"` — use `Grep`
+- `tree` / `ls -R` — use `Glob`

+## File Writing
+
+| Scenario                   | Tool                     | Notes                                 |
+| ----------------------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| Create new file            | `Write`                   | Creates parent directories            |
+| Edit existing file         | `Edit`                    | Include enough surrounding context to make the match unique |
+| Multiple identical edits   | `Edit` with `replace_all` | Batch identical replacements in one call |
+| Rename / move file         | `Bash` + `mv`             | Only case where terminal is correct   |
+
+**Anti-patterns:**
+- `echo "content" > file.txt` — use `Write`
+- `python -c "open('f','w').write('...')"` — never
+- `node -e "fs.writeFileSync(...)"` — never
+- `sed -i 's/old/new/g' file` — use `Edit`
+- `perl -pi -e 's/old/new/'` — use `Edit`
+
+## Error Checking
+
+| Scenario              | Tool          | Notes                                      |
+| ------------------------ | --------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
+| Compile/lint errors   | `Bash` (project's own lint/typecheck script) | No dedicated "get errors" tool — run what CI runs |
+| Test failures         | `Bash`        | For test execution                          |
+
+## When Terminal (`Bash`) IS Correct
+
+Terminal is the right tool for:
+- Running tests (`npm test`, `vitest run`, `pytest`)
+- Package management (`npm install`, `pip install`)
+- Build commands (`npm run build`)
+- Git operations (`git status`, `git diff`)
+- Starting dev servers (with `run_in_background: true`)
+- Moving/renaming files (`mv`)
+- Operations that have no built-in tool equivalent

+name: create-specification
+description: Create a new specification file optimized for Generative AI consumption. Use when asked to write, author, or draft a specification, spec, or requirements document for a solution component, feature, or system. Produces a clear, unambiguous, machine-readable Markdown spec covering purpose, definitions, requirements/constraints/guidelines, interfaces and data contracts, acceptance criteria, test-automation strategy, rationale, dependencies, examples/edge cases, and validation criteria — saved under `.vesper/.tracking/specs/`.
+---
+
+# Create Specification
+
+Author a specification file that defines the requirements, constraints, and interfaces for a solution component in a way that is clear, unambiguous, and structured for effective use by Generative AIs. Follow established documentation standards and keep the content machine-readable and self-contained.
+
+## When to Use
+
+Invoke this skill when the user asks to create, write, draft, or author a specification (spec) for a purpose they provide — a feature, a component, an integration, a process, or a system.
+
+## Best Practices for AI-Ready Specifications
+
+- Use precise, explicit, and unambiguous language.
+- Clearly distinguish between requirements, constraints, and recommendations.
+- Use structured formatting (headings, lists, tables) for easy parsing.
+- Avoid idioms, metaphors, or context-dependent references.
+- Define all acronyms and domain-specific terms.
+- Include examples and edge cases where applicable.
+- Ensure the document is self-contained and does not rely on external context.
+
+## Output Location and Naming
+
+Save the specification in the `.vesper/.tracking/specs/` directory, named by the convention `YYYYMMDD-task-description-specification.md`. Write well-formed Markdown.
+
+## Required Structure
+
+Every specification must fill out all sections of the following template. Structure the front matter exactly as shown.
+
+````md
+---
+title: [Concise Title Describing the Specification's Focus]
+version: [Optional: e.g., 1.0, Date]
+date_created: [YYYY-MM-DD]
+last_updated: [Optional: YYYY-MM-DD]
+owner: [Optional: Team/Individual responsible for this spec]
+tags: [Optional: List of relevant tags or categories, e.g., `infrastructure`, `process`, `design`, `app` etc]
+---
+
+# Introduction
+
+[A short concise introduction to the specification and the goal it is intended to achieve.]
+
+## 1. Purpose & Scope
+
+[Provide a clear, concise description of the specification's purpose and the scope of its application. State the intended audience and any assumptions.]
+
+## 2. Definitions
+
+[List and define all acronyms, abbreviations, and domain-specific terms used in this specification.]
+
+## 3. Requirements, Constraints & Guidelines
+
+[Explicitly list all requirements, constraints, rules, and guidelines. Use bullet points or tables for clarity.]
+
+- **REQ-001**: Requirement 1
+- **SEC-001**: Security Requirement 1
+- **[3 LETTERS]-001**: Other Requirement 1
+- **CON-001**: Constraint 1
+- **GUD-001**: Guideline 1
+- **PAT-001**: Pattern to follow 1
+
+## 4. Interfaces & Data Contracts
+
+[Describe the interfaces, APIs, data contracts, or integration points. Use tables or code blocks for schemas and examples.]
+
+## 5. Acceptance Criteria
+
+[Define clear, testable acceptance criteria for each requirement using Given-When-Then format where appropriate.]
+
+- **AC-001**: Given [context], When [action], Then [expected outcome]
+- **AC-002**: The system shall [specific behavior] when [condition]
+- **AC-003**: [Additional acceptance criteria as needed]
+
+## 6. Test Automation Strategy
+
+[Define the testing approach, frameworks, and automation requirements.]
+
+- **Test Levels**: Unit, Integration, End-to-End
+- **Frameworks**: [test frameworks appropriate to the stack]
+- **Test Data Management**: [approach for test data creation and cleanup]
+- **CI/CD Integration**: [automated testing in the project's CI pipeline]
+- **Coverage Requirements**: [minimum code coverage thresholds]
+- **Performance Testing**: [approach for load and performance testing]
+
+## 7. Rationale & Context
+
+[Explain the reasoning behind the requirements, constraints, and guidelines. Provide context for design decisions.]
+
+## 8. Dependencies & External Integrations
+
+[Define the external systems, services, and architectural dependencies required for this specification. Focus on **what** is needed rather than **how** it's implemented. Avoid specific package or library versions unless they represent architectural constraints.]
+
+### External Systems
+
+- **EXT-001**: [External system name] - [Purpose and integration type]
+
+### Third-Party Services
+
+- **SVC-001**: [Service name] - [Required capabilities and SLA requirements]
+
+### Infrastructure Dependencies
+
+- **INF-001**: [Infrastructure component] - [Requirements and constraints]
+
+### Data Dependencies
+
+- **DAT-001**: [External data source] - [Format, frequency, and access requirements]
+
+### Technology Platform Dependencies
+
+- **PLT-001**: [Platform/runtime requirement] - [Version constraints and rationale]
+
+### Compliance Dependencies
+
+- **COM-001**: [Regulatory or compliance requirement] - [Impact on implementation]
+
+**Note**: This section should focus on architectural and business dependencies, not specific package implementations. For example, specify "OAuth 2.0 authentication library" rather than a specific vendor package and version.
+
+## 9. Examples & Edge Cases
+
+    ```code
+    // Code snippet or data example demonstrating the correct application of the guidelines, including edge cases
+    ```
+
+## 10. Validation Criteria
+
+[List the criteria or tests that must be satisfied for compliance with this specification.]
+
+## 11. Related Specifications / Further Reading
+
+[Link to related spec 1]
+[Link to relevant external documentation]
