-# morph-spec
-
-> Spec-driven development framework for multi-stack projects. Turns feature requests into implementation-ready code through structured, AI-orchestrated phases.
-
-**Package:** `@polymorphism-tech/morph-spec`
-**Version:** 4.22.1  
-**Requires:** Node.js 18+, Claude Code
-
----
-
-## What it does
-
-morph-spec enforces a spec-first development workflow. When you ask for a feature, it does not write code immediately. It runs through structured phases (proposal, design, tasks) with approval gates before a single line of implementation is generated. Each phase produces traceable output files. Every decision is documented.
-
-It integrates natively with Claude Code: skills become slash commands, agents become native subagents, hooks inject state context automatically, and rules enforce standards based on file paths.
-
----
-
-## Requirements
-
-- [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) (latest)
-- Node.js 18+
-- npm 9+ or pnpm
-
----
-
-## Installation
-
-Install the CLI globally:
-
-```bash
-npm install -g @polymorphism-tech/morph-spec
-```
-
-Then initialize in your project:
-
-```bash
-morph-spec init
-```
-
-### Init options
-
-
-| Flag         | Description                           |
-| ------------ | ------------------------------------- |
-| `--force`    | Overwrite existing installation       |
-| `--skip-mcp` | Skip MCP configuration prompt         |
-| `--path`     | Target directory (default: cwd)       |
-
-
-After init, open the project in Claude Code. The framework activates automatically via `.claude/settings.local.json`.

-
-## Phase workflow
-
-Features move through structured phases. Some are optional depending on feature type.
-
-```
-proposal → [uiux] → design → plan → tasks → implement → [sync]
-```
-
-Phases in brackets are optional. `uiux` applies to UI-heavy features. `sync` is a post-implementation reconciliation step.
-
-### Phase outputs

-### Approval gates
-
-- **Design gate** — Spec must be approved before moving to Plan.
-- **Plan gate** — Plan must be approved before moving to Tasks.
-- **Tasks gate** — Task list must be approved before implementation starts.

-## Hooks
-
-10 Claude Code hooks are installed into `.claude/settings.local.json` across 8 event types:
-
-
-| Event                | Hook                       | Purpose                                                           |
-| -------------------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `SessionStart`       | `inject-morph-context.js`  | Injects active feature spec into context (configurable char max)  |
-| `UserPromptSubmit`   | `enrich-prompt.js`         | Context-aware prompt enrichment, wrong-phase warnings             |
-| `PreToolUse`         | Bash guard (prompt type)   | Detects destructive patterns inline via Claude's reasoning        |
-| `PreToolUse`         | `protect-spec-files.js`    | Blocks edits to spec files after approval gate                    |
-| `PreToolUse`         | `enforce-phase-writes.js`  | Ensures writes go to the correct phase directory                  |
-| `PostToolUse`        | `dispatch.js`              | Triggers auto-checkpoints on task completion                      |
-| `PostToolUseFailure` | `handle-tool-failure.js`   | Logs failures to `.morph/logs/tool-failures.log`                  |
-| `Stop`               | `validate-completion.js`   | Warns about incomplete tasks/missing outputs/pending gates        |
-| `PreCompact`         | `save-morph-context.js`    | Snapshots state to `.morph/memory/` before compaction             |
-
-
-Protected files (via `permissions.deny`):
-
-- `.morph/state.json` — never edited directly, CLI only
-- `.morph/framework/`** — read-only framework content
-
----
-
-## Rules
-
-Path-scoped rules are installed to `.claude/rules/` and activate automatically based on file patterns:
-
-
-| Rule file                     | Applies to                                               |
-| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `morph-workflow.md`           | Always active — spec-first mandate, phase commands       |
-| `csharp-standards.md`         | `**/*.cs`, `**/*.csproj`                                 |
-| `frontend-standards.md`       | `**/*.razor`, `**/*.css`, `**/*.scss`                    |
-| `nextjs-standards.md`         | `**/*.tsx`, `**/*.ts`                                    |
-| `testing-standards.md`        | `tests/`**, `**/*.test.*`, `**/*.spec.*`, `**/*Tests.cs` |
-| `infrastructure-standards.md` | `**/*.bicep`, `**/Dockerfile`, `**/pipelines/**`         |

-
-
-TypeScript strict mode is enforced by default. See `.morph/framework/standards/` for all coding standards.
-
----
-
-## Update
-
-To update the framework files in an existing project:
-
-```bash
-morph-spec update
-```
-
-This re-syncs `.morph/framework/`, `.claude/skills/`, `.claude/agents/`, `.claude/rules/`, and `CLAUDE.md` with the installed package version. Your `.morph/config/config.json`, `.morph/context/`, and feature outputs are not touched.
-
-After updating, run `morph-spec doctor` to confirm the installation is healthy.
-
----
-
-## Key rules
-
-**Never skip phases.** Every feature starts with a proposal. No code is written until the design is approved and a task list exists.
-
-**Never edit protected files directly:**
-
-- `.morph/state.json` — use `morph-spec state set`
-- `.morph/framework/`** — read-only, updated by `morph-spec update`
-
-**Always document decisions.** Each feature has a `2-design/decisions.md`. Architectural choices go there, not in commit messages.
-
-**Checkpoints every 3 tasks.** The framework auto-validates architecture compliance, package versions, and security after every third completed task.
-
----
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### `morph-spec: command not found`
-
-The installer automatically adds the npm global directory to your PowerShell `$PROFILE`. Open a **new terminal** after installing. If it still doesn't work, add it manually:
-
-```bash
-npm config get prefix
-# Add {prefix} to your PATH
-```
-
-### `morph-spec doctor` reports issues
-
-Run doctor to see all checks:
-
-```bash
-morph-spec doctor
-```
-
-Common fixes:
-
-- **Missing `.claude/agents/`** — run `morph-spec update` to reinstall agents
-- **Missing `.claude/rules/`** — run `morph-spec update` to reinstall rules
-- **State version mismatch** — state auto-migrates on next CLI command; if it fails, back up and re-init
-- **Hooks not firing** — confirm `.claude/settings.local.json` exists and contains the `hooks` key
-
-### EPERM on Windows global install
-
-Windows may block global npm installs without elevated permissions. Options:
-
-1. Run terminal as Administrator (not recommended long-term)
-2. Change npm global prefix to a user-writable directory:
-
-```bat
-mkdir %APPDATA%\npm-global
-npm config set prefix %APPDATA%\npm-global
-:: Add %APPDATA%\npm-global to your PATH
-npm install -g @polymorphism-tech/morph-spec
-```
-
-1. Open a new terminal (the installer adds npm to your PATH automatically)
-
-### Hook not triggering on SessionStart
-
-Ensure `.claude/settings.local.json` is not gitignored in your project. The file must be present for Claude Code to load hooks. If it is missing, re-run `morph-spec setup-infra` or `morph-spec init --force`.
-
----
-
-## Standards
-
-The framework ships 82 registered standards across 11 categories, stored in `.morph/framework/standards/STANDARDS.json`. Standards are enforced via path-scoped rules installed to `.claude/rules/` during `morph-spec init`.

+
+## Hooks
+
+10 Claude Code hooks are installed into `.claude/settings.local.json` across 8 event types:
+
+
+| Event                | Hook                       | Purpose                                                           |
+| -------------------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `SessionStart`       | `inject-morph-context.js`  | Injects active feature spec into context (configurable char max)  |
+| `UserPromptSubmit`   | `enrich-prompt.js`         | Context-aware prompt enrichment, wrong-phase warnings             |
+| `PreToolUse`         | Bash guard (prompt type)   | Detects destructive patterns inline via Claude's reasoning        |
+| `PreToolUse`         | `protect-spec-files.js`    | Blocks edits to spec files after approval gate                    |
+| `PreToolUse`         | `enforce-phase-writes.js`  | Ensures writes go to the correct phase directory                  |
+| `PostToolUse`        | `dispatch.js`              | Triggers auto-checkpoints on task completion                      |
+| `PostToolUseFailure` | `handle-tool-failure.js`   | Logs failures to `.morph/logs/tool-failures.log`                  |
+| `Stop`               | `validate-completion.js`   | Warns about incomplete tasks/missing outputs/pending gates        |
+| `PreCompact`         | `save-morph-context.js`    | Snapshots state to `.morph/memory/` before compaction             |
+
+
+Protected files (via `permissions.deny`):
+
+- `.morph/state.json` — never edited directly, CLI only
+- `.morph/framework/`** — read-only framework content
+
+---
+
+## Rules
+
+Path-scoped rules are installed to `.claude/rules/` and activate automatically based on file patterns:
+
+
+| Rule file                     | Applies to                                               |
+| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `morph-workflow.md`           | Always active — spec-first mandate, phase commands       |
+| `csharp-standards.md`         | `**/*.cs`, `**/*.csproj`                                 |
+| `frontend-standards.md`       | `**/*.razor`, `**/*.css`, `**/*.scss`                    |
+| `nextjs-standards.md`         | `**/*.tsx`, `**/*.ts`                                    |
+| `testing-standards.md`        | `tests/`**, `**/*.test.*`, `**/*.spec.*`, `**/*Tests.cs` |
+| `infrastructure-standards.md` | `**/*.bicep`, `**/Dockerfile`, `**/pipelines/**`         |

+
+---
+
+## Update
+
+To update the framework files in an existing project:
+
+```bash
+morph-spec update
+```
+
+This re-syncs `.morph/framework/`, `.claude/skills/`, `.claude/agents/`, `.claude/rules/`, and `CLAUDE.md` with the installed package version. Your `.morph/config/config.json`, `.morph/context/`, and feature outputs are not touched.
+
+After updating, run `morph-spec doctor` to confirm the installation is healthy.
+
+---
+
+## Key rules
+
+**Never skip phases.** Every feature starts with a proposal. No code is written until the design is approved and a task list exists.
+
+**Never edit protected files directly:**
+
+- `.morph/state.json` — use `morph-spec state set`
+- `.morph/framework/`** — read-only, updated by `morph-spec update`
+
+**Always document decisions.** Each feature has a `2-design/decisions.md`. Architectural choices go there, not in commit messages.
+
+**Checkpoints every 3 tasks.** The framework auto-validates architecture compliance, package versions, and security after every third completed task.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `morph-spec: command not found`
+
+The installer automatically adds the npm global directory to your PowerShell `$PROFILE`. Open a **new terminal** after installing. If it still doesn't work, add it manually:
+
+```bash
+npm config get prefix
+# Add {prefix} to your PATH
+```
+
+### `morph-spec doctor` reports issues
+
+Run doctor to see all checks:
+
+```bash
+morph-spec doctor
+```
+
+Common fixes:
+
+- **Missing `.claude/agents/`** — run `morph-spec update` to reinstall agents
+- **Missing `.claude/rules/`** — run `morph-spec update` to reinstall rules
+- **State version mismatch** — state auto-migrates on next CLI command; if it fails, back up and re-init
+- **Hooks not firing** — confirm `.claude/settings.local.json` exists and contains the `hooks` key
+
+### EPERM on Windows global install
+
+Windows may block global npm installs without elevated permissions. Options:
+
+1. Run terminal as Administrator (not recommended long-term)
+2. Change npm global prefix to a user-writable directory:
+
+```bat
+mkdir %APPDATA%\npm-global
+npm config set prefix %APPDATA%\npm-global
+:: Add %APPDATA%\npm-global to your PATH
+npm install -g @polymorphism-tech/morph-spec
+```
+
+1. Open a new terminal (the installer adds npm to your PATH automatically)
+
+### Hook not triggering on SessionStart
+
+Ensure `.claude/settings.local.json` is not gitignored in your project. The file must be present for Claude Code to load hooks. If it is missing, re-run `morph-spec setup-infra` or `morph-spec init --force`.
+
+---
+
+## Standards
+
+The framework ships 82 registered standards across 11 categories, stored in `.morph/framework/standards/STANDARDS.json`. Standards are enforced via path-scoped rules installed to `.claude/rules/` during `morph-spec init`.
