-# Workflow: Spec Generate (Full Mode)
-
-Specification document chain producing a complete specification package (Product Brief, PRD, Architecture, Epics, Roadmap) through 7 sequential phases with multi-CLI analysis and interactive refinement. Pure documentation — no code generation.
-
-**Shared logic**: `@roadmap-common.md` (worktree guard, context loading, codebase exploration, external research, minimum-phase principle, roadmap write logic)
-
-## Pipeline Position
-
-```
-brainstorm (optional) → init (REQUIRED) → spec-generate → plan → execute → verify
-Alternative light path: init → roadmap (light mode) → plan (skip spec-generate)
-```
-
-> **Relation to blueprint**: `spec-generate` is the full-pipeline superset of `blueprint` (adds P7 roadmap stage on top of P0–P6 spec chain). Use `blueprint` when only specs are needed; use `spec-generate` when downstream `roadmap → plan` execution is intended.
-
-## Architecture
-
-```
-P0: Spec Study → P1: Discovery → P1.5: Req Expansion → P2: Product Brief → P3: PRD → P4: Architecture → P5: Epics → P6: Readiness Check → P7: Roadmap
-
-P6 gate: Pass (>=80%) → P7 | Review (60-79%) → P7 w/caveats | Fail (<60%) → P6.5 Auto-Fix (max 2 iter) → re-check
-```
-
-## Arguments

-```
-$ARGUMENTS: "<idea or @file> [-y] [-c] [--from <source>]"

-## Process
-
-### Step 1: Prerequisite Loading (Phase 0)
-
-Load specification and template documents:
-
-| Document | Purpose | Priority |
-|----------|---------|----------|
-| Document standards | Format, frontmatter, naming conventions | P0 - must read |
-| Quality gates | Per-phase quality criteria and scoring | P0 - must read |
-| Templates | product-brief, requirements-prd, architecture-doc, epics-template | Read on-demand per phase |
-
-**Load project specs and history**: Follow roadmap-common.md "Load Project Context".
-
-Additional full-mode rules:
-- Features in `already_shipped` are EXCLUDED from spec generation scope
-- `lessons_learned` inform risk assessment in Phase 1 and architecture decisions in Phase 4
-- Pass assembled `project_context` to Phase 1 seed analysis and Phase 7 roadmap generation
-
-### Step 2: Discovery & Seed Analysis (Phase 1)
-
-Parse input, analyze the seed idea, optionally explore codebase, establish session.
-
-**Step 2.1: Input Parsing**
-- Parse $ARGUMENTS: extract idea/topic, flags (-y, -c, --from)
-- If `-c`: read spec-config.json, resume from first incomplete phase
-- If `--from <source>` (or `--from-brainstorm SESSION-ID` alias):
-  - Resolve source to `context-package.json`:
-    - `brainstorm:ID` → `state.json.artifacts[type=brainstorm, id=ID].context_package`
-    - `@file` → create import session → delegate extraction → context-package.json
-    - `path/` → load `path/context-package.json`
-    - `--from-brainstorm SESSION-ID` → alias for `--from brainstorm:{resolve(SESSION-ID)}`
-  - Load context-package.json as enriched seed:
-    - `requirements[]` → Phase 3 PRD seed requirements (skip Phase 1.5)
-    - `constraints[]` → Phase 4 Architecture ADR seed
-    - `domain.terminology[]` → Phase 2 Glossary seed
-    - `domain.problem_statement` → Phase 2 Product Brief context
-    - `non_goals[]` → Phase 2 Product Brief exclusions
-    - `insights[]` → Phase 4 Architecture decisions context
-    - `references[]` → available for deep-read when needed
-  - Set `input_type: "context-package"` — skip Phase 1.5
-- If `@file`: read file content as seed
-- If text: use directly as seed
-- Missing input → error E001
-
-**Step 2.2: Session Initialization**
-```
-Session ID: SPEC-{slug}-{YYYY-MM-DD}
-Output dir: .workflow/.spec/{session_id}/
-```
-
-**Step 2.3: Seed Analysis via CLI**
-- Spawn CLI analysis to extract: problem_statement, target_users, domain, constraints, dimensions (3-5)
-- Assess complexity: simple (1-2 components) / moderate (3-5) / complex (6+)
-- For context-package input: enrich with feature decomposition data
-
-**Step 2.4: Codebase Exploration** — follow roadmap-common.md
-- Output: `discovery-context.json` with relevant_files, patterns, tech_stack
-
-**Step 2.5: External Research** — follow roadmap-common.md
-
-`apiResearchContext` is passed into:
-- Step 4 (Product Brief): technology feasibility assessment
-- Step 5 (Requirements): API-aware requirement writing with concrete constraints
-- Step 6 (Architecture): informed ADR decisions with version-specific details
-- Step 7 (Epics): realistic story sizing based on API complexity
-
-**Step 2.6: Spec Type Selection**
-- Interactive (AskUserQuestion): Service / API / Library / Platform
-- `--yes`: default to "service"
-- Each type loads a profile template for domain-specific sections
-
-**Step 2.7: User Confirmation (interactive)**
-- Confirm problem statement, select depth (Light/Standard/Comprehensive), select focus areas
-- `--yes`: accept all defaults
-
-**Output**: `spec-config.json`, `discovery-context.json` (optional), `apiResearchContext` (in-memory, optional)
-
-### Step 3: Requirement Expansion & Clarification (Phase 1.5)
-
-Skip if `--from` (requirements already in context-package.json).
-
-**Step 3.1: CLI Gap Analysis**
-- Analyze seed for completeness (score 1-10), identify missing dimensions
-- Generate 3-5 clarification areas with questions and expansion suggestions
-- Dimensions checked: functional scope, user scenarios, NFRs, integrations, data model, error handling
-
-**Step 3.2: Interactive Discussion Loop (max 5 rounds)**
-- Round 1: present gap analysis + expansion suggestions via AskUserQuestion
-- Round N: CLI follow-up analysis based on user responses, refine requirements
-- User can: answer questions, accept suggestions, or skip to generation
-- `--yes`: CLI auto-expansion without interaction
-
-**Step 3.3: User Confirmation**
-- Present requirement summary, user confirms or requests adjustments
-- `--yes`: auto-confirm
-
-**Output**: `refined-requirements.json` (confirmed features, NFRs, boundaries, assumptions)
-
-### Step 4: Product Brief (Phase 2)
-
-Generate product brief through multi-perspective CLI analysis.
-
-**Step 4.1: Load Context**
-- Read refined-requirements.json (preferred) or seed_analysis fallback
-- Read discovery-context.json (if codebase detected)
-- For context-package input: read context-package.json domain and requirements sections
-
-**Step 4.2: Multi-CLI Parallel Analysis (3 perspectives)**
-
-| Perspective | Role | Focus |
-|-------------|------|-------|
-| Product | analyze | Vision, market fit, success criteria, scope boundaries |
-| Technical | review | Feasibility, constraints, integration complexity, tech recommendations |
-| User | explore | Personas, journey maps, pain points, UX criteria |
-
-**Step 4.3: Synthesis**
-- Extract convergent themes (all agree), conflicts (need resolution), unique insights
-- For context-package input: cross-reference with context-package insights and constraints
-- If `apiResearchContext` is set: inject API details into technical feasibility assessment
-
-**Step 4.4: Interactive Refinement**
-- Present synthesis, user adjusts scope/vision
-- `--yes`: accept synthesis as-is
-
-**Step 4.5: Generate Outputs**
-- `product-brief.md` from template (YAML frontmatter + filled content)
-- `glossary.json` — 5+ core terms extracted from product brief and CLI analysis
-  - Each term: canonical name, definition, aliases, category (core/technical/business)
-  - Injected into all subsequent phase CLI prompts for terminology consistency
-
-**Output**: `product-brief.md`, `glossary.json`
-
-### Step 5: Requirements / PRD (Phase 3)
-
-Generate detailed PRD with functional/non-functional requirements.
-
-**Step 5.1: Requirement Expansion via CLI**
-- For each product brief goal, generate 3-7 functional requirements
-- Each requirement: REQ-NNN ID, title, description, user story, 2-4 acceptance criteria
-- Generate non-functional requirements: performance, security, scalability, usability
-- Apply RFC 2119 keywords (MUST/SHOULD/MAY) to all behavioral constraints
-- Define core entity data models: fields, types, constraints, relationships
-- Inject glossary.json for terminology consistency
-
-**Step 5.2: MoSCoW Priority Sorting (interactive)**
-- Present requirements grouped by initial priority
-- User adjusts Must/Should/Could/Won't labels
-- Select MVP scope: Must-only / Must+key Should / Comprehensive
-- `--yes`: accept CLI-suggested priorities
-
-**Step 5.3: Generate Directory**
-- `requirements/_index.md` — summary table, MoSCoW breakdown, traceability matrix
-- `requirements/REQ-NNN-{slug}.md` — one per functional requirement
-- `requirements/NFR-{type}-NNN-{slug}.md` — one per non-functional requirement
-
-**Output**: `requirements/` directory (index + individual files)
-
-### Step 6: Architecture (Phase 4)
-
-Generate architecture decisions, component design, and technology selections.
-
-**Step 6.1: Architecture Analysis via CLI (role: review)**
-- System architecture style with justification
-- Core components and responsibilities
-- Component interaction diagram (Mermaid graph TD)
-- Technology stack: languages, frameworks, databases, infrastructure
-- 2-4 Architecture Decision Records (ADRs): context, decision, alternatives, consequences
-- Data model: entities and relationships (Mermaid erDiagram)
-- Security architecture: auth, authorization, data protection
-- **State machine**: ASCII diagram + transition table for lifecycle entities (service/platform type)
-- **Configuration model**: all configurable fields with type, default, constraint
-- **Error handling strategy**: per-component classification (transient/permanent/degraded), recovery mechanisms
-- **Observability**: key metrics (5+), structured log events, health checks
-- Spec type profile injection for domain-specific depth
-- Glossary injection for terminology consistency
-- If `apiResearchContext` is set: inject as "External API Research" context
-
-**Step 6.2: Architecture Review via CLI (role: review)**
-- Challenge each ADR, identify scalability bottlenecks
-- Assess security gaps, evaluate technology choices
-- Rate overall quality 1-5
-
-**Step 6.3: Interactive ADR Decisions**
-- Present ADRs with review feedback, user decides: accept / incorporate feedback / simplify
-- `--yes`: auto-accept
-
-**Step 6.4: Codebase Integration Mapping (conditional)**
-- Map new components to existing code modules
-
-**Step 6.5: Generate Directory**
-- `architecture/_index.md` — overview, component diagram, tech stack, data model, security
-- `architecture/ADR-NNN-{slug}.md` — one per Architecture Decision Record
-
-**Output**: `architecture/` directory (index + individual ADR files)
-
-### Step 7: Epics & Stories (Phase 5)
-
-Decompose specification into executable Epics and Stories.
-
-**Step 7.1: Epic Decomposition via CLI**
-- Group requirements into logical Epics (EPIC-NNN IDs). Epic count is unconstrained — Phase 7 will merge Epics into minimal phases via the minimum-phase principle.
-- Tag MVP subset
-- For each Epic: 2-5 Stories in "As a...I want...So that..." format
-- Each Story: 2-4 testable acceptance criteria, relative size (S/M/L/XL), trace to REQ-NNN
-- Cross-Epic dependency map (Mermaid graph LR)
-- Recommended execution order with rationale
-- MVP definition of done (3-5 criteria)
-
-**Epic sizing awareness** (informs Phase 7 roadmap generation):
-- Epics that are too small (1-2 Stories, all size S) should be flagged for merge in Phase 7
-- Each Epic should carry enough substance to become part of a phase with 5+ tasks
-- Prefer fewer, larger Epics over many tiny ones
-
-**Step 7.2: Interactive Validation**
-- Present Epic overview, user adjusts: merge/split epics, adjust MVP scope
-- `--yes`: accept as-is
-
-**Step 7.3: Generate Directory**
-- `epics/_index.md` — overview table, dependency map, MVP scope, execution order, traceability
-- `epics/EPIC-NNN-{slug}.md` — one per Epic with embedded Stories
-
-**Output**: `epics/` directory (index + individual Epic files)
-
-### Step 8: Readiness Check & Handoff (Phase 6)
-
-Validate specification package and provide execution handoff.
-
-**Step 8.1: Cross-Document Validation via CLI**
-Score on 4 dimensions (25% each):
-1. **Completeness**: all required sections present with substantive content
-2. **Consistency**: terminology uniform (glossary compliance), scope containment, non-goals respected
-3. **Traceability**: goals → requirements → architecture → epics (matrix generated)
-4. **Depth**: acceptance criteria testable, ADRs justified, stories estimable
-
-Gate decision: Pass (>=80) / Review (60-79) / Fail (<60)
-
-**Step 8.2: Generate Reports**
-- `readiness-report.md` — quality scores, issue list (Error/Warning/Info), traceability matrix
-- `spec-summary.md` — one-page executive summary
-
-**Step 8.3: Update Document Status**
-- All document frontmatter updated to `status: complete`
-
-**Step 8.4: Gate Routing**
-
-| Gate Result | Action |
-|-------------|--------|
-| Pass (>=80%) | Proceed to Step 11 (Phase 7: Roadmap) |
-| Review (60-79%) | Proceed to Step 11 with caveats logged |
-| Fail (<60%) | Trigger Step 9 (Auto-Fix), then re-run Step 8 |
-
-### Step 9: Auto-Fix (Phase 6.5, conditional)
-
-Triggered when Phase 6 score < 60%.
-
-**Step 9.1: Parse Readiness Report**
-- Extract Error and Warning items, group by originating phase (2-5), map to affected files
-
-**Step 9.2: Fix Affected Phases (sequential, Phase 2→3→4→5)**
-- Read current phase output
-- CLI re-generation with error context injected
-- Inject glossary for terminology consistency
-- Preserve unflagged content, only fix flagged issues
-- Increment document version
-
-**Step 9.3: Re-run Phase 6**
-- Generate new readiness-report.md
-- If still Fail and iteration_count < 2: loop back
-- If Pass or max iterations (2) reached: proceed to handoff
-
-**Output**: Updated Phase 2-5 documents, updated spec-config.json with iteration tracking
-
-### Step 11: Roadmap Generation (Phase 7)
-
-Convert Epics into an interactive roadmap with user confirmation.
-
-**Step 11.1: Epic→Phase Mapping**
-- Read `epics/_index.md` for Epic table, dependency map, MVP tags
-- Read individual `EPIC-NNN-{slug}.md` for Stories and acceptance criteria
-- Read `architecture/_index.md` for technical constraints (ADR decisions)
-
-Apply **Minimum-Phase Principle** from roadmap-common.md for Epic→Phase mapping:
-- Default: ALL Epics → 1 Phase (wave DAG orders tasks by Epic dependencies)
-- Only split if hard dependency conditions are all met
-- MVP-tagged Epics → Milestone 1, Post-MVP → Milestone 2+
-- Small Epics (1-2 Stories, all size S) MUST be merged
-- Epic dependencies → wave ordering within phase (not phase splits)
-- Stories within Epics → phase success criteria
-- ADR decisions → phase technical constraints
-
-**Step 11.2: Generate Draft Roadmap**
-Follow roadmap-common.md **Roadmap Template** format. For full mode, populate from product-brief.md vision and Epic→Stories acceptance criteria.
-
-**Step 11.3: Interactive Refinement (max 3 rounds)**
-- Present roadmap overview: phase count, milestone structure, dependency graph
-- **Before presenting**: validate minimum-phase principle. Auto-merge violations and inform user.
-- User feedback via AskUserQuestion:
-  - **Approve**: Run final sizing check before accepting
-  - **Adjust Scope**: Move Epics between milestones, merge phases
-  - **Reorder**: Change phase sequencing
-  - **Split/Merge**: Combine small phases (min 5 tasks enforced); splits require hard-dependency justification
-- `--yes`: auto-approve (minimum-phase principle still enforced automatically)
-
-**Step 11.4: Write Outputs**
-- Write `roadmap.md` to spec directory: `{spec_dir}/roadmap.md`
-- Write `.workflow/roadmap.md` — follow roadmap-common.md **Overwrite vs Edit Rules**
-- Update `spec-config.json`: add Phase 7 completion
-- Update `state.json` — follow roadmap-common.md **state.json Update Rules**
-
-**Step 11.5: Handoff Options (AskUserQuestion)**
-
-| Option | Action |
-|--------|--------|
-| Initialize project | Skill({ skill: "maestro-init" }) |
-| Plan first phase | Skill({ skill: "maestro-plan", args: "1" }) |
-| Create issues | Generate issues per phase via Skill({ skill: "manage-issue" }) |
-| Export only | Spec + roadmap complete, no further action |
-
-### Step 12: Final Report
-
-```
-== spec-generate complete ==
-Session: SPEC-{slug}-{date} | Quality: {score}% ({gate}) | Phases: {completed_count}/7
-Output: .workflow/.spec/{session_id}/
-  spec-config.json, product-brief.md, requirements/, architecture/, epics/,
-  readiness-report.md, spec-summary.md, roadmap.md
-
-Next: maestro-init (setup) | maestro-plan 1 (plan first phase)
-```

-
-## Key Design Principles
-
-1. **Document Chain**: Each phase builds on previous outputs with traceability
-2. **Multi-Perspective Analysis**: CLI tools provide product, technical, and user perspectives
-3. **Interactive by Default**: Each phase offers user confirmation; `-y` enables auto mode
-4. **Resumable Sessions**: spec-config.json tracks phases; `-c` resumes from checkpoint
-5. **Template-Driven**: All documents from standardized templates with YAML frontmatter
-6. **Spec Type Specialization**: Templates adapt to service/api/library/platform via profiles
-7. **Terminology Consistency**: glossary.json from Phase 2 injected into all subsequent phases
-8. **Iterative Quality**: Phase 6.5 auto-fix loop (max 2 iterations)
-9. **Context Package Integration**: `--from` loads upstream context-package.json as seed (brainstorm:ID, @file, or path). `--from-brainstorm` retained as backward-compatible alias
-
-## State Management
-
-**spec-config.json**:
-```json
-{
-  "session_id": "SPEC-xxx-2026-03-15",
-  "seed_input": "User input text",
-  "input_type": "text|file|context-package",
-  "timestamp": "ISO8601",
-  "mode": "interactive|auto",
-  "complexity": "simple|moderate|complex",
-  "depth": "light|standard|comprehensive",
-  "focus_areas": [],
-  "spec_type": "service|api|library|platform",
-  "iteration_count": 0,
-  "iteration_history": [],
-  "seed_analysis": {
-    "problem_statement": "...",
-    "target_users": [],
-    "domain": "...",
-    "constraints": [],
-    "dimensions": []
-  },
-  "has_codebase": false,
-  "phasesCompleted": [
-    { "phase": 1, "name": "discovery", "output_file": "spec-config.json", "completed_at": "ISO8601" }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Resume: `-c` reads spec-config.json, resumes from first incomplete phase.
-
-## Quality Dimensions (Phase 6)
-
-| Dimension | Weight | Focus |
-|-----------|--------|-------|
-| Completeness | 25% | All sections present with substance |
-| Consistency | 25% | Terminology, scope, non-goals alignment |
-| Traceability | 25% | Goals → Reqs → Arch → Epics chain |
-| Depth | 25% | Testable criteria, justified decisions, estimable stories |
-
-**Gate**: Pass (>=80%) / Review (60-79%) / Fail (<60%)
-
-## Handoff to maestro-init
-
-When spec-generate completes, `roadmap.md` is already generated (Phase 7).
-Run `maestro-init` to set up project infrastructure (project.md, state.json, config.json, specs/).
-Init detects existing `.workflow/roadmap.md` and skips roadmap creation.
-
-## Error Handling
-
-| Phase | Error | Blocking? | Action |
-|-------|-------|-----------|--------|
-| Phase 1 | Empty input | Yes | Error and exit |
-| Phase 1 | CLI analysis fails | No | Basic parsing fallback |
-| Phase 1.5 | Gap analysis fails | No | Skip to basic prompts |
-| Phase 2 | Single CLI fails | No | Continue with available |
-| Phase 3 | Gemini fails | No | Codex fallback |
-| Phase 4 | Review fails | No | Skip review |
-| Phase 5 | Story generation fails | No | Generate epics only |
-| Phase 6 | Validation fails | No | Partial report |
-| Phase 6.5 | Max iterations (2) | No | Force handoff |
-| Step 2.5 | External research fails | No | apiResearchContext = null, continue |
-
-CLI Fallback Chain: Role-based resolution → degraded mode (local only)
+# Workflow: Spec Generate (Full Mode)
+
+Specification document chain producing a complete specification package (Product Brief, PRD, Architecture, Epics, Roadmap) through 7 sequential phases with multi-CLI analysis and interactive refinement. Pure documentation — no code generation.
+
+**Shared logic**: `@roadmap-common.md` (worktree guard, context loading, codebase exploration, external research, minimum-phase principle, roadmap write logic)
+
+## Pipeline Position
+
+```
+brainstorm (optional) → init (REQUIRED) → spec-generate → plan → execute → verify
+Alternative light path: init → roadmap (light mode) → plan (skip spec-generate)
+```
+
+> **Relation to blueprint**: `spec-generate` is the full-pipeline superset of `blueprint` (adds P7 roadmap stage on top of P0–P6 spec chain). Use `blueprint` when only specs are needed; use `spec-generate` when downstream `roadmap → plan` execution is intended.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+P0: Spec Study → P1: Discovery → P1.5: Req Expansion → P2: Product Brief → P3: PRD → P4: Architecture → P5: Epics → P6: Readiness Check → P7: Roadmap
+
+P6 gate: Pass (>=80%) → P7 | Review (60-79%) → P7 w/caveats | Fail (<60%) → P6.5 Auto-Fix (max 2 iter) → re-check
+```
+
+## Arguments

+## Process
+
+### Step 1: Prerequisite Loading (Phase 0)
+
+Load specification and template documents:
+
+| Document | Purpose | Priority |
+|----------|---------|----------|
+| Document standards | Format, frontmatter, naming conventions | P0 - must read |
+| Quality gates | Per-phase quality criteria and scoring | P0 - must read |
+| Templates | product-brief, requirements-prd, architecture-doc, epics-template | Read on-demand per phase |
+
+**Load project specs and history**: Follow roadmap-common.md "Load Project Context".
+
+Additional full-mode rules:
+- Features in `already_shipped` are EXCLUDED from spec generation scope
+- `lessons_learned` inform risk assessment in Phase 1 and architecture decisions in Phase 4
+- Pass assembled `project_context` to Phase 1 seed analysis and Phase 7 roadmap generation
+
+### Step 2: Discovery & Seed Analysis (Phase 1)
+
+Parse input, analyze the seed idea, optionally explore codebase, establish session.
+
+**Step 2.1: Input Parsing**
+- Parse $ARGUMENTS: extract idea/topic, flags (-y, -c, --from)
+- If `-c`: read spec-config.json, resume from first incomplete phase
+- If `--from <source>` (or `--from-brainstorm SESSION-ID` alias):
+  - Resolve source to `context-package.json`:
+    - `brainstorm:ID` → `state.json.artifacts[type=brainstorm, id=ID].context_package`
+    - `@file` → create import session → delegate extraction → context-package.json
+    - `path/` → load `path/context-package.json`
+    - `--from-brainstorm SESSION-ID` → alias for `--from brainstorm:{resolve(SESSION-ID)}`
+  - Load context-package.json as enriched seed:
+    - `requirements[]` → Phase 3 PRD seed requirements (skip Phase 1.5)
+    - `constraints[]` → Phase 4 Architecture ADR seed
+    - `domain.terminology[]` → Phase 2 Glossary seed
+    - `domain.problem_statement` → Phase 2 Product Brief context
+    - `non_goals[]` → Phase 2 Product Brief exclusions
+    - `insights[]` → Phase 4 Architecture decisions context
+    - `references[]` → available for deep-read when needed
+  - Set `input_type: "context-package"` — skip Phase 1.5
+- If `@file`: read file content as seed
+- If text: use directly as seed
+- Missing input → error E001
+
+**Step 2.2: Session Initialization**
+```
+Session ID: SPEC-{slug}-{YYYY-MM-DD}
+Output dir: .workflow/.spec/{session_id}/
+```
+
+**Step 2.3: Seed Analysis via CLI**
+- Spawn CLI analysis to extract: problem_statement, target_users, domain, constraints, dimensions (3-5)
+- Assess complexity: simple (1-2 components) / moderate (3-5) / complex (6+)
+- For context-package input: enrich with feature decomposition data
+
+**Step 2.4: Codebase Exploration** — follow roadmap-common.md
+- Output: `discovery-context.json` with relevant_files, patterns, tech_stack
+
+**Step 2.5: External Research** — follow roadmap-common.md
+
+`apiResearchContext` is passed into:
+- Step 4 (Product Brief): technology feasibility assessment
+- Step 5 (Requirements): API-aware requirement writing with concrete constraints
+- Step 6 (Architecture): informed ADR decisions with version-specific details
+- Step 7 (Epics): realistic story sizing based on API complexity
+
+**Step 2.6: Spec Type Selection**
+- Interactive (AskUserQuestion): Service / API / Library / Platform
+- `--yes`: default to "service"
+- Each type loads a profile template for domain-specific sections
+
+**Step 2.7: User Confirmation (interactive)**
+- Confirm problem statement, select depth (Light/Standard/Comprehensive), select focus areas
+- `--yes`: accept all defaults
+
+**Output**: `spec-config.json`, `discovery-context.json` (optional), `apiResearchContext` (in-memory, optional)
+
+### Step 3: Requirement Expansion & Clarification (Phase 1.5)
+
+Skip if `--from` (requirements already in context-package.json).
+
+**Step 3.1: CLI Gap Analysis**
+- Analyze seed for completeness (score 1-10), identify missing dimensions
+- Generate 3-5 clarification areas with questions and expansion suggestions
+- Dimensions checked: functional scope, user scenarios, NFRs, integrations, data model, error handling
+
+**Step 3.2: Interactive Discussion Loop (max 5 rounds)**
+- Round 1: present gap analysis + expansion suggestions via AskUserQuestion
+- Round N: CLI follow-up analysis based on user responses, refine requirements
+- User can: answer questions, accept suggestions, or skip to generation
+- `--yes`: CLI auto-expansion without interaction
+
+**Step 3.3: User Confirmation**
+- Present requirement summary, user confirms or requests adjustments
+- `--yes`: auto-confirm
+
+**Output**: `refined-requirements.json` (confirmed features, NFRs, boundaries, assumptions)
+
+### Step 4: Product Brief (Phase 2)
+
+Generate product brief through multi-perspective CLI analysis.
+
+**Step 4.1: Load Context**
+- Read refined-requirements.json (preferred) or seed_analysis fallback
+- Read discovery-context.json (if codebase detected)
+- For context-package input: read context-package.json domain and requirements sections
+
+**Step 4.2: Multi-CLI Parallel Analysis (3 perspectives)**
+
+| Perspective | Role | Focus |
+|-------------|------|-------|
+| Product | analyze | Vision, market fit, success criteria, scope boundaries |
+| Technical | review | Feasibility, constraints, integration complexity, tech recommendations |
+| User | explore | Personas, journey maps, pain points, UX criteria |
+
+**Step 4.3: Synthesis**
+- Extract convergent themes (all agree), conflicts (need resolution), unique insights
+- For context-package input: cross-reference with context-package insights and constraints
+- If `apiResearchContext` is set: inject API details into technical feasibility assessment
+
+**Step 4.4: Interactive Refinement**
+- Present synthesis, user adjusts scope/vision
+- `--yes`: accept synthesis as-is
+
+**Step 4.5: Generate Outputs**
+- `product-brief.md` from template (YAML frontmatter + filled content)
+- `glossary.json` — 5+ core terms extracted from product brief and CLI analysis
+  - Each term: canonical name, definition, aliases, category (core/technical/business)
+  - Injected into all subsequent phase CLI prompts for terminology consistency
+
+**Output**: `product-brief.md`, `glossary.json`
+
+### Step 5: Requirements / PRD (Phase 3)
+
+Generate detailed PRD with functional/non-functional requirements.
+
+**Step 5.1: Requirement Expansion via CLI**
+- For each product brief goal, generate 3-7 functional requirements
+- Each requirement: REQ-NNN ID, title, description, user story, 2-4 acceptance criteria
+- Generate non-functional requirements: performance, security, scalability, usability
+- Apply RFC 2119 keywords (MUST/SHOULD/MAY) to all behavioral constraints
+- Define core entity data models: fields, types, constraints, relationships
+- Inject glossary.json for terminology consistency
+
+**Step 5.2: MoSCoW Priority Sorting (interactive)**
+- Present requirements grouped by initial priority
+- User adjusts Must/Should/Could/Won't labels
+- Select MVP scope: Must-only / Must+key Should / Comprehensive
+- `--yes`: accept CLI-suggested priorities
+
+**Step 5.3: Generate Directory**
+- `requirements/_index.md` — summary table, MoSCoW breakdown, traceability matrix
+- `requirements/REQ-NNN-{slug}.md` — one per functional requirement
+- `requirements/NFR-{type}-NNN-{slug}.md` — one per non-functional requirement
+
+**Output**: `requirements/` directory (index + individual files)
+
+### Step 6: Architecture (Phase 4)
+
+Generate architecture decisions, component design, and technology selections.
+
+**Step 6.1: Architecture Analysis via CLI (role: review)**
+- System architecture style with justification
+- Core components and responsibilities
+- Component interaction diagram (Mermaid graph TD)
+- Technology stack: languages, frameworks, databases, infrastructure
+- 2-4 Architecture Decision Records (ADRs): context, decision, alternatives, consequences
+- Data model: entities and relationships (Mermaid erDiagram)
+- Security architecture: auth, authorization, data protection
+- **State machine**: ASCII diagram + transition table for lifecycle entities (service/platform type)
+- **Configuration model**: all configurable fields with type, default, constraint
+- **Error handling strategy**: per-component classification (transient/permanent/degraded), recovery mechanisms
+- **Observability**: key metrics (5+), structured log events, health checks
+- Spec type profile injection for domain-specific depth
+- Glossary injection for terminology consistency
+- If `apiResearchContext` is set: inject as "External API Research" context
+
+**Step 6.2: Architecture Review via CLI (role: review)**
+- Challenge each ADR, identify scalability bottlenecks
+- Assess security gaps, evaluate technology choices
+- Rate overall quality 1-5
+
+**Step 6.3: Interactive ADR Decisions**
+- Present ADRs with review feedback, user decides: accept / incorporate feedback / simplify
+- `--yes`: auto-accept
+
+**Step 6.4: Codebase Integration Mapping (conditional)**
+- Map new components to existing code modules
+
+**Step 6.5: Generate Directory**
+- `architecture/_index.md` — overview, component diagram, tech stack, data model, security
+- `architecture/ADR-NNN-{slug}.md` — one per Architecture Decision Record
+
+**Output**: `architecture/` directory (index + individual ADR files)
+
+### Step 7: Epics & Stories (Phase 5)
+
+Decompose specification into executable Epics and Stories.
+
+**Step 7.1: Epic Decomposition via CLI**
+- Group requirements into logical Epics (EPIC-NNN IDs). Epic count is unconstrained — Phase 7 will merge Epics into minimal phases via the minimum-phase principle.
+- Tag MVP subset
+- For each Epic: 2-5 Stories in "As a...I want...So that..." format
+- Each Story: 2-4 testable acceptance criteria, relative size (S/M/L/XL), trace to REQ-NNN
+- Cross-Epic dependency map (Mermaid graph LR)
+- Recommended execution order with rationale
+- MVP definition of done (3-5 criteria)
+
+**Epic sizing awareness** (informs Phase 7 roadmap generation):
+- Epics that are too small (1-2 Stories, all size S) should be flagged for merge in Phase 7
+- Each Epic should carry enough substance to become part of a phase with 5+ tasks
+- Prefer fewer, larger Epics over many tiny ones
+
+**Step 7.2: Interactive Validation**
+- Present Epic overview, user adjusts: merge/split epics, adjust MVP scope
+- `--yes`: accept as-is
+
+**Step 7.3: Generate Directory**
+- `epics/_index.md` — overview table, dependency map, MVP scope, execution order, traceability
+- `epics/EPIC-NNN-{slug}.md` — one per Epic with embedded Stories
+
+**Output**: `epics/` directory (index + individual Epic files)
+
+### Step 8: Readiness Check & Handoff (Phase 6)
+
+Validate specification package and provide execution handoff.
+
+**Step 8.1: Cross-Document Validation via CLI**
+Score on 4 dimensions (25% each):
+1. **Completeness**: all required sections present with substantive content
+2. **Consistency**: terminology uniform (glossary compliance), scope containment, non-goals respected
+3. **Traceability**: goals → requirements → architecture → epics (matrix generated)
+4. **Depth**: acceptance criteria testable, ADRs justified, stories estimable
+
+Gate decision: Pass (>=80) / Review (60-79) / Fail (<60)
+
+**Step 8.2: Generate Reports**
+- `readiness-report.md` — quality scores, issue list (Error/Warning/Info), traceability matrix
+- `spec-summary.md` — one-page executive summary
+
+**Step 8.3: Update Document Status**
+- All document frontmatter updated to `status: complete`
+
+**Step 8.4: Gate Routing**
+
+| Gate Result | Action |
+|-------------|--------|
+| Pass (>=80%) | Proceed to Step 11 (Phase 7: Roadmap) |
+| Review (60-79%) | Proceed to Step 11 with caveats logged |
+| Fail (<60%) | Trigger Step 9 (Auto-Fix), then re-run Step 8 |
+
+### Step 9: Auto-Fix (Phase 6.5, conditional)
+
+Triggered when Phase 6 score < 60%.
+
+**Step 9.1: Parse Readiness Report**
+- Extract Error and Warning items, group by originating phase (2-5), map to affected files
+
+**Step 9.2: Fix Affected Phases (sequential, Phase 2→3→4→5)**
+- Read current phase output
+- CLI re-generation with error context injected
+- Inject glossary for terminology consistency
+- Preserve unflagged content, only fix flagged issues
+- Increment document version
+
+**Step 9.3: Re-run Phase 6**
+- Generate new readiness-report.md
+- If still Fail and iteration_count < 2: loop back
+- If Pass or max iterations (2) reached: proceed to handoff
+
+**Output**: Updated Phase 2-5 documents, updated spec-config.json with iteration tracking
+
+### Step 11: Roadmap Generation (Phase 7)
+
+Convert Epics into an interactive roadmap with user confirmation.
+
+**Step 11.1: Epic→Phase Mapping**
+- Read `epics/_index.md` for Epic table, dependency map, MVP tags
+- Read individual `EPIC-NNN-{slug}.md` for Stories and acceptance criteria
+- Read `architecture/_index.md` for technical constraints (ADR decisions)
+
+Apply **Minimum-Phase Principle** from roadmap-common.md for Epic→Phase mapping:
+- Default: ALL Epics → 1 Phase (wave DAG orders tasks by Epic dependencies)
+- Only split if hard dependency conditions are all met
+- MVP-tagged Epics → Milestone 1, Post-MVP → Milestone 2+
+- Small Epics (1-2 Stories, all size S) MUST be merged
+- Epic dependencies → wave ordering within phase (not phase splits)
+- Stories within Epics → phase success criteria
+- ADR decisions → phase technical constraints
+
+**Step 11.2: Generate Draft Roadmap**
+Follow roadmap-common.md **Roadmap Template** format. For full mode, populate from product-brief.md vision and Epic→Stories acceptance criteria.
+
+**Step 11.3: Interactive Refinement (max 3 rounds)**
+- Present roadmap overview: phase count, milestone structure, dependency graph
+- **Before presenting**: validate minimum-phase principle. Auto-merge violations and inform user.
+- User feedback via AskUserQuestion:
+  - **Approve**: Run final sizing check before accepting
+  - **Adjust Scope**: Move Epics between milestones, merge phases
+  - **Reorder**: Change phase sequencing
+  - **Split/Merge**: Combine small phases (min 5 tasks enforced); splits require hard-dependency justification
+- `--yes`: auto-approve (minimum-phase principle still enforced automatically)
+
+**Step 11.4: Write Outputs**
+- Write `roadmap.md` to spec directory: `{spec_dir}/roadmap.md`
+- Write `.workflow/roadmap.md` — follow roadmap-common.md **Overwrite vs Edit Rules**
+- Update `spec-config.json`: add Phase 7 completion
+- Update `state.json` — follow roadmap-common.md **state.json Update Rules**
+
+**Step 11.5: Handoff Options (AskUserQuestion)**
+
+| Option | Action |
+|--------|--------|
+| Initialize project | Skill({ skill: "maestro-init" }) |
+| Plan first phase | Skill({ skill: "maestro-plan", args: "1" }) |
+| Create issues | Generate issues per phase via Skill({ skill: "manage-issue" }) |
+| Export only | Spec + roadmap complete, no further action |
+
+### Step 12: Final Report
+
+```
+== spec-generate complete ==
+Session: SPEC-{slug}-{date} | Quality: {score}% ({gate}) | Phases: {completed_count}/7
+Output: .workflow/.spec/{session_id}/
+  spec-config.json, product-brief.md, requirements/, architecture/, epics/,
+  readiness-report.md, spec-summary.md, roadmap.md
+
+Next: maestro-init (setup) | maestro-plan 1 (plan first phase)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Key Design Principles
+
+1. **Document Chain**: Each phase builds on previous outputs with traceability
+2. **Multi-Perspective Analysis**: CLI tools provide product, technical, and user perspectives
+3. **Interactive by Default**: Each phase offers user confirmation; `-y` enables auto mode
+4. **Resumable Sessions**: spec-config.json tracks phases; `-c` resumes from checkpoint
+5. **Template-Driven**: All documents from standardized templates with YAML frontmatter
+6. **Spec Type Specialization**: Templates adapt to service/api/library/platform via profiles
+7. **Terminology Consistency**: glossary.json from Phase 2 injected into all subsequent phases
+8. **Iterative Quality**: Phase 6.5 auto-fix loop (max 2 iterations)
+9. **Context Package Integration**: `--from` loads upstream context-package.json as seed (brainstorm:ID, @file, or path). `--from-brainstorm` retained as backward-compatible alias
+
+## State Management
+
+**spec-config.json**:
+```json
+{
+  "session_id": "SPEC-xxx-2026-03-15",
+  "seed_input": "User input text",
+  "input_type": "text|file|context-package",
+  "timestamp": "ISO8601",
+  "mode": "interactive|auto",
+  "complexity": "simple|moderate|complex",
+  "depth": "light|standard|comprehensive",
+  "focus_areas": [],
+  "spec_type": "service|api|library|platform",
+  "iteration_count": 0,
+  "iteration_history": [],
+  "seed_analysis": {
+    "problem_statement": "...",
+    "target_users": [],
+    "domain": "...",
+    "constraints": [],
+    "dimensions": []
+  },
+  "has_codebase": false,
+  "phasesCompleted": [
+    { "phase": 1, "name": "discovery", "output_file": "spec-config.json", "completed_at": "ISO8601" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Resume: `-c` reads spec-config.json, resumes from first incomplete phase.
+
+## Quality Dimensions (Phase 6)
+
+| Dimension | Weight | Focus |
+|-----------|--------|-------|
+| Completeness | 25% | All sections present with substance |
+| Consistency | 25% | Terminology, scope, non-goals alignment |
+| Traceability | 25% | Goals → Reqs → Arch → Epics chain |
+| Depth | 25% | Testable criteria, justified decisions, estimable stories |
+
+**Gate**: Pass (>=80%) / Review (60-79%) / Fail (<60%)
+
+## Handoff to maestro-init
+
+When spec-generate completes, `roadmap.md` is already generated (Phase 7).
+Run `maestro-init` to set up project infrastructure (project.md, state.json, config.json, specs/).
+Init detects existing `.workflow/roadmap.md` and skips roadmap creation.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+| Phase | Error | Blocking? | Action |
+|-------|-------|-----------|--------|
+| Phase 1 | Empty input | Yes | Error and exit |
+| Phase 1 | CLI analysis fails | No | Basic parsing fallback |
+| Phase 1.5 | Gap analysis fails | No | Skip to basic prompts |
+| Phase 2 | Single CLI fails | No | Continue with available |
+| Phase 3 | Gemini fails | No | Codex fallback |
+| Phase 4 | Review fails | No | Skip review |
+| Phase 5 | Story generation fails | No | Generate epics only |
+| Phase 6 | Validation fails | No | Partial report |
+| Phase 6.5 | Max iterations (2) | No | Force handoff |
+| Step 2.5 | External research fails | No | apiResearchContext = null, continue |
+
+CLI Fallback Chain: Role-based resolution → degraded mode (local only)
