+
+<guidelines>
+**Initial planning (v1.0):**
+- Phase count depends on granularity setting (coarse: 3-5, standard: 5-8, fine: 8-12)
+- Each phase delivers something coherent
+- Phases can have 1+ plans (split if >3 tasks or multiple subsystems)
+- Plans use naming: {phase}-{plan}-PLAN.md (e.g., 01-02-PLAN.md)
+- No time estimates (this isn't enterprise PM)
+- Progress table updated by execute workflow
+- Plan count can be "TBD" initially, refined during planning
+
+**Success criteria:**
+- 2-5 observable behaviors per phase (from user's perspective)
+- Cross-checked against requirements during roadmap creation
+- Flow downstream to `must_haves` in plan-phase
+- Verified by verify-phase after execution
+- Format: "User can [action]" or "[Thing] works/exists"
+
+**After milestones ship:**
+- Collapse completed milestones in `<details>` tags
+- Add new milestone sections for upcoming work
+- Keep continuous phase numbering (never restart at 01)
+</guidelines>
+
+<status_values>
+- `Not started` - Haven't begun
+- `In progress` - Currently working
+- `Complete` - Done (add completion date)
+- `Deferred` - Pushed to later (with reason)
+</status_values>

+# Phase Spec Template
+
+Template for `.planning/phases/XX-name/{phase_num}-SPEC.md` — locks requirements before discuss-phase.
+
+**Purpose:** Capture WHAT a phase delivers and WHY, with enough precision that requirements are falsifiable. discuss-phase reads this file and focuses on HOW to implement (skipping "what/why" questions already answered here).
+
+**Key principle:** Every requirement must be falsifiable — you can write a test or check that proves it was met or not. Vague requirements like "improve performance" are not allowed.
+
+**Downstream consumers:**
+- `discuss-phase` — reads SPEC.md at startup; treats Requirements, Boundaries, and Acceptance Criteria as locked; skips "what/why" questions
+- `gsd-planner` — reads locked requirements to constrain plan scope
+- `gsd-verifier` — uses acceptance criteria as explicit pass/fail checks

+# Phase [X]: [Name] — Specification
+
+**Created:** [date]
+**Ambiguity score:** [score] (gate: ≤ 0.20)
+**Requirements:** [N] locked
+
+## Goal
+
+[One precise sentence — specific and measurable. NOT "improve X" — instead "X changes from A to B".]
+
+## Background
+
+[Current state from codebase — what exists today, what's broken or missing, what triggers this work. Grounded in code reality, not abstract description.]
+
+## Requirements
+
+1. **[Short label]**: [Specific, testable statement.]
+   - Current: [what exists or does NOT exist today]
+   - Target: [what it should become after this phase]
+   - Acceptance: [concrete pass/fail check — how a verifier confirms this was met]
+
+2. **[Short label]**: [Specific, testable statement.]
+   - Current: [what exists or does NOT exist today]

+- [Each item is a concrete deliverable or behavior]
+
+**Out of scope:**
+- [Explicit list of what this phase does NOT do] — [brief reason why it's excluded]
+- [Adjacent problems excluded from this phase] — [brief reason]
+
+## Constraints
+
+[Performance, compatibility, data volume, dependency, or platform constraints.
+If none: "No additional constraints beyond standard project conventions."]
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] [Pass/fail criterion — unambiguous, verifiable]
+- [ ] [Pass/fail criterion]
+- [ ] [Pass/fail criterion]

+
+<good_examples>
+
+**Example 1: Feature addition (Post Feed)**
+
+```markdown
+# Phase 3: Post Feed — Specification
+
+**Created:** 2025-01-20
+**Ambiguity score:** 0.12
+**Requirements:** 4 locked
+
+## Goal
+
+Users can scroll through posts from accounts they follow, with new posts available after pull-to-refresh.
+
+## Background
+
+The database has a `posts` table and `follows` table. No feed query or feed UI exists today. The home screen shows a placeholder "Your feed will appear here." This phase builds the feed query, API endpoint, and the feed list component.
+
+## Requirements
+
+1. **Feed query**: Returns posts from followed accounts ordered by creation time, descending.
+   - Current: No feed query exists — `posts` table is queried directly only from profile pages
+   - Target: `GET /api/feed` returns paginated posts from followed accounts, newest first, max 20 per page
+   - Acceptance: Query returns correct posts for a user who follows 3 accounts with known post counts; cursor-based pagination advances correctly
+
+2. **Feed display**: Posts display in a scrollable card list.
+   - Current: Home screen shows static placeholder text
+   - Target: Home screen renders feed cards with author, timestamp, post content, and reaction count
+   - Acceptance: Feed renders without error for 0 posts (empty state shown), 1 post, and 20+ posts
+
+3. **Pull-to-refresh**: User can refresh the feed manually.
+   - Current: No refresh mechanism exists
+   - Target: Pull-down gesture triggers refetch; new posts appear at top of list
+   - Acceptance: After a new post is created in test, pull-to-refresh shows the new post without full app restart
+
+4. **New posts indicator**: When new posts arrive, a banner appears instead of auto-scrolling.
+   - Current: No such mechanism
+   - Target: "3 new posts" banner appears when refetch returns posts newer than the oldest visible post; tapping banner scrolls to top and shows new posts
+   - Acceptance: Banner appears for ≥1 new post, does not appear when no new posts, tap navigates to top
+
+## Boundaries
+
+**In scope:**
+- Feed query (backend) — posts from followed accounts, paginated
+- Feed list UI (frontend) — post cards with author, timestamp, content, reaction counts
+- Pull-to-refresh gesture
+- New posts indicator banner
+- Empty state when user follows no one or no posts exist
+
+**Out of scope:**
+- Creating posts — that is Phase 4
+- Reacting to posts — that is Phase 5
+- Following/unfollowing accounts — that is Phase 2 (already done)
+- Push notifications for new posts — separate backlog item
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Feed query must use cursor-based pagination (not offset) — the database has 500K+ posts and offset pagination is unacceptably slow beyond page 3
+- The feed card component must reuse the existing `<AvatarImage>` component from Phase 2
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] `GET /api/feed` returns posts only from followed accounts (not all posts)
+- [ ] `GET /api/feed` supports `cursor` parameter for pagination
+- [ ] Feed renders correctly at 0, 1, and 20+ posts
+- [ ] Pull-to-refresh triggers refetch
+- [ ] New posts indicator appears when posts newer than current view exist
+- [ ] Empty state renders when user follows no one

+
+**Example 2: CLI tool (Database backup)**
+
+```markdown
+# Phase 2: Backup Command — Specification
+
+**Created:** 2025-01-20
+**Ambiguity score:** 0.15
+**Requirements:** 3 locked
+
+## Goal
+
+A `gsd backup` CLI command creates a reproducible database snapshot that can be restored by `gsd restore` (a separate phase).
+
+## Background
+
+No backup tooling exists. The project uses PostgreSQL. Developers currently use `pg_dump` manually — there is no standardized process, no output naming convention, and no CI integration. Three incidents in the last quarter involved restoring from wrong or corrupt dumps.
+
+## Requirements
+
+1. **Backup creation**: CLI command executes a full database backup.
+   - Current: No `backup` subcommand exists in the CLI
+   - Target: `gsd backup` connects to the database (via `DATABASE_URL` env or `--db` flag), runs pg_dump, writes output to `./backups/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.dump`
+   - Acceptance: Running `gsd backup` on a test database creates a `.dump` file; running `pg_restore` on that file recreates the database without error
+
+2. **Network retry**: Transient network failures are retried automatically.
+   - Current: pg_dump fails immediately on network error
+   - Target: Backup retries up to 3 times with 5-second delay; 4th failure exits with code 1 and a message to stderr
+   - Acceptance: Simulating 2 sequential network failures causes 2 retries then success; simulating 4 failures causes exit code 1 and stderr message
+
+3. **Partial cleanup**: Failed backups do not leave corrupt files.
+   - Current: Manual pg_dump leaves partial files on failure
+   - Target: If backup fails after starting, the partial `.dump` file is deleted before exit
+   - Acceptance: After a simulated failure mid-dump, no `.dump` file exists in `./backups/`
+
+## Boundaries
+
+**In scope:**
+- `gsd backup` subcommand (full dump only)
+- Output to `./backups/` directory (created if missing)
+- Network retry (3 attempts)
+- Partial file cleanup on failure
+
+**Out of scope:**
+- `gsd restore` — that is Phase 3
+- Incremental backups — separate backlog item (full dump only for now)
+- S3 or remote storage — separate backlog item
+- Encryption — separate backlog item
+- Scheduled/cron backups — separate backlog item
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Must use `pg_dump` (not a custom query) — ensures compatibility with standard `pg_restore`
+- `--no-retry` flag must be available for CI use (fail fast, no retries)
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] `gsd backup` creates a `.dump` file in `./backups/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.dump` format
+- [ ] `gsd backup` uses `DATABASE_URL` env var or `--db` flag for connection
+- [ ] 3 retries on network failure, then exit code 1 with stderr message
+- [ ] `--no-retry` flag skips retries and fails immediately on first error
+- [ ] No partial `.dump` file left after a failed backup

+</good_examples>
+
+<guidelines>
+**Every requirement needs all three fields:**
+- Current: grounds the requirement in reality — what exists today?
+- Target: the concrete change — not "improve X" but "X becomes Y"
+- Acceptance: the falsifiable check — how does a verifier confirm this?
+
+**Ambiguity Report must reflect the actual interview.** If a dimension is below minimum, mark it ⚠ — the planner knows to treat it as an assumption rather than a locked requirement.
+
+**Interview Log is evidence of rigor.** Don't skip it. It shows that requirements came from discovery, not assumption.
+
+**Boundaries protect the phase from scope creep.** The out-of-scope list with reasoning is as important as the in-scope list. Future phases that touch adjacent areas can point to this SPEC.md to understand what was intentionally excluded.
+
+**SPEC.md is a one-way door for requirements.** discuss-phase will treat these as locked. If requirements change after SPEC.md is written, the user should update SPEC.md first, then re-run discuss-phase.
+
+**SPEC.md does NOT replace CONTEXT.md.** They serve different purposes:
+- SPEC.md: what the phase delivers (requirements, boundaries, acceptance criteria)
+- CONTEXT.md: how the phase will be implemented (decisions, patterns, tradeoffs)
+
+discuss-phase generates CONTEXT.md after reading SPEC.md.

+STATE.md is the project's short-term memory spanning all phases and sessions.
+
+**Problem it solves:** Information is captured in summaries, issues, and decisions but not systematically consumed. Sessions start without context.
+
+**Solution:** A single, small file that's:
+- Read first in every workflow
+- Updated after every significant action
+- Contains digest of accumulated context
+- Enables instant session restoration
+
+</purpose>
+
+<lifecycle>
+
+**Creation:** After ROADMAP.md is created (during init)
+- Reference PROJECT.md (read it for current context)
+- Initialize empty accumulated context sections
+- Set position to "Phase 1 ready to plan"

+**Reading:** First step of every workflow
+- progress: Present status to user
+- plan: Inform planning decisions
+- execute: Know current position
+- transition: Know what's complete
+
+**Writing:** After every significant action
+- execute: After SUMMARY.md created
+  - Update position (phase, plan, status)
+  - Note new decisions (detail in PROJECT.md)
+  - Add blockers/concerns
+- transition: After phase marked complete
+  - Update progress bar
+  - Clear resolved blockers
+  - Refresh Project Reference date

+
+### Project Reference
+Points to PROJECT.md for full context. Includes:
+- Core value (the ONE thing that matters)
+- Current focus (which phase)
+- Last update date (triggers re-read if stale)
+
+Claude reads PROJECT.md directly for requirements, constraints, and decisions.
+
+### Current Position
+Where we are right now:
+- Phase X of Y — which phase
+- Plan A of B — which plan within phase
+- Status — current state
+- Last activity — what happened most recently
+- Progress bar — visual indicator of overall completion
+
+Progress calculation: (completed plans) / (total plans across all phases) × 100%
+
+### Performance Metrics
+Track velocity to understand execution patterns:
+- Total plans completed
+- Average duration per plan
+- Per-phase breakdown
+- Recent trend (improving/stable/degrading)
+
+Updated after each plan completion.
+
+### Accumulated Context
+
+**Decisions:** Reference to PROJECT.md Key Decisions table, plus recent decisions summary for quick access. Full decision log lives in PROJECT.md.
+
+**Pending Todos:** Ideas captured via /gsd-add-todo
+- Count of pending todos
+- Reference to .planning/todos/pending/
+- Brief list if few, count if many (e.g., "5 pending todos — see /gsd:capture --list")
+
+**Blockers/Concerns:** From "Next Phase Readiness" sections
+- Issues that affect future work
+- Prefix with originating phase
+- Cleared when addressed
+
+### Session Continuity
+Enables instant resumption:
+- When was last session
+- What was last completed
+- Is there a .continue-here file to resume from

+
+<size_constraint>
+
+Keep STATE.md under 100 lines.
+
+It's a DIGEST, not an archive. If accumulated context grows too large:
+- Keep only 3-5 recent decisions in summary (full log in PROJECT.md)
+- Keep only active blockers, remove resolved ones
+
+The goal is "read once, know where we are" — if it's too long, that fails.
