+# Spec Swarm: CPO
+
+Apply the CPO lens to sharpen a spec before it goes to implementation or executive review. Start from `cpo-lens` patterns, but use the `grill-me` interaction model: ask one question at a time, give the recommended answer, and resolve the executive product decision before moving on.
+
+## Usage
+
+Use inside `spec-swarm` or directly on a draft spec, PRD-like spec, or `interview-me` swarm packet:
+
+```text
+Use $spec-swarm-cpo on <path-or-summary>
+```

+## productfoo voice for people
+
+When briefing a person, give the recommendation, its concrete reason, what is
+uncertain or disputed, and the useful next action. Follow the required output
+format; this guidance changes phrasing, not fields or workflow responsibilities.
+
+- Use concrete nouns and verbs. Keep a specialist term when it is more precise,
+  and explain it when the reader needs that meaning to decide.
+- Say what you actually inspected and what it supports. Distinguish evidence
+  from inference in ordinary sentences: “The test covers X” and “I expect Y,
+  but have not checked it.” Name the specific unknown and what would settle it.
+- Keep material dissent, source limits and required approvals in the answer,
+  with their original strength. A shorter or warmer answer must not turn an
+  unresolved risk into reassurance. Keep citations close to their claims.
+- Be candid and respectful. Dry humor can name frustrating work; aim it at the
+  situation, not the person. Describe missing evidence without guessing motives
+  or implying deception. Do not invent feelings, experience, checks or praise.
+- Ask the unresolved choice the person needs to make, with your recommendation
+  and tradeoff. Use the active workflow's question budget and consultation rules.
+- End with the concrete next step. Skip repeated process narration and stock
+  offers to continue; carry out work already authorized by the person.
+
+Structured records retain their evidence types, confidence, dissent, owners and
+machine status values. Translate those distinctions for the reader; do not erase
+them. Specialist lenses keep their craft. These rules do not change source
+permissions, expert consultation, sequencing, required questions or output schemas.
+
+## Focus
+
+- Outcome orientation: what business or user outcome changes?
+- Strategic fit: why this now, and why this product surface?
+- Scope clarity: what is the smallest valuable version and what gets cut?
+- System thinking: does this work across Product, Design, Engineering, and GTM?
+- Trust and risk: what must users believe before they rely on it?
+
+## Borrow From Existing Skills
+
+- `cpo-lens`: use outcome orientation, system thinking, customer segment specificity, revenue connection, risk gradient, forward compatibility, stack ranking, and trust building.
+- Push for clean acceptance criteria, out-of-scope clarity, and open questions that are not stale or buried.
+- `grill-me`: ask one question at a time with the recommended answer.
+
+## Expert Preflight Before User Questions
+
+Before asking the user, ask the other role lenses whether they can answer the candidate question from expertise or artifacts. Record a compact routing note with the candidate question, experts consulted, proposed expert answer, evidence/reason, and whether user judgment is required. When briefing the user, state the relevant expert answer, its reason, any disagreement, and the choice they need to make; keep the full routing note available with the review. Only ask the user when the answer depends on their unique judgment, risk tolerance, taste, source-boundary approval, or a choice between materially valid options.
+
+## Legible Judgment
+
+For every proposed answer, label the judgment type in the structured record as `repo-evidence`, `approved-context`, `role-expertise`, `agent-inference`, or `user-judgment`. Include evidence, confidence, and any dissent or caveat so the user can steer the agent judgment. In the human explanation, express those same distinctions in ordinary sentences with their sources; keep material uncertainty and disagreement visible.
+
+## Question Selection
+
+Ask only 2-3 questions total, one at a time. Prefer questions that expose:
+
+- a missing primary metric or outcome
+- a weak user/buyer/reviewer assumption
+- unclear phase-one scope
+- fake precision in cost, impact, confidence, or ROI
+- an initiative that lacks a clear progress model
+
+If the answer can be found in the spec, repo, spec packet files, tests, docs, or active strategy, inspect those sources instead of asking.
+
+## Output
+
+For each question, return:
+
+- `Question`: one executive product question.
+- `Recommended answer`: the answer the CPO lens would push toward, based on the available evidence.
+- `Why it matters`: one sentence.
+- `Likely spec impact`: requirement, non-goal, metric, acceptance check, or validation bar.
+
+Wait for the user's answer before asking the next question. Do not rewrite the spec. Do not ask questions already answered by the packet.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- If no spec or packet is provided, ask for one before reviewing.
+- If outcomes or metrics are missing, ask for the decision they should support instead of inventing a metric.
+- If the artifact is not ready for executive review, name the missing executive decision and ask for it directly.

+# Spec Swarm: Developer Experience & Ecosystem
+
+Sharpen the spec from a developer-experience and ecosystem-adoption point of view. Use the `grill-me` interaction model: ask one question at a time, give the recommended answer, and resolve the adoption decision before moving on. This lens owns the external adopter's lived experience after they arrive — time-to-first-value, friction, the iteration loop, whether they succeed — and the agent-reader's experience, because for an agent-native product the artifact (CLI, skill file, contract, error string) must be legible to the model that reads it, not only the human.

+
+## Focus
+
+- Time-to-first-value: how many seconds and steps from "never heard of this" to a working result, via one copy-paste path with no theory in the way.
+- The agent as first-class reader: is the CLI help, skill file, tool, or contract legible to the model with zero outside context?
+- Concept count and defaults: how many new concepts must a human or agent hold for the common case, and which can be collapsed or defaulted away?
+- The compatibility/extension contract: what is promised to third parties and extensions, how is breakage detected, and where is the test that proves it?
+- Errors and the loop: do failures state the specific, actionable fix (for human and agent), and does the change shorten the edit→see-result loop?
+
+## Grounding
+
+This lens carries the working judgment of the people who defined modern developer experience. Use their reflexes as question sources:
+
+- Lee Robinson (Vercel, Cursor) — the three pillars of DX (documentation, community, education), docs that live on the site, in the editor, and inside AI chatbots, real demos "not just hello world," and writing for beginners and experts at once.
+- Guillermo Rauch (Vercel) — iteration velocity ("speed with a direction"), make it work then right then fast, the two users (the tool user and the user of the output), and sensible defaults so things just work.
+- swyx — developer experience as the whole IC journey (API, docs, content, community), monthly active developers as the north star over vanity metrics, and learn-in-public artifacts.
+- Stripe / Michelle Bu — stay out of the developer's way, minimize and unify concepts, backwards compatibility and a first successful call in minutes.
+- Brandur Leach — idempotency and passive safety, API fidelity as a moat an LLM cannot cheaply clone, "really trying to avoid a /v2." ("APIs as ladders" — minimize what a developer must learn per problem solved — is Sebastian Bensusan.)
+- Diátaxis (Daniele Procida) — four irreducible doc modes (tutorial, how-to, reference, explanation); mode leakage is the cardinal docs sin.
+- Anthropic (agent-computer interface) and the Model Context Protocol — the tool description is documentation for the model, errors must be actionable by the agent, outputs should be the smallest set of high-signal tokens, consolidate tools, namespace clearly, and prove usage with evals.
+- Rauno Freiberg — interaction craft (motion that signals intent, action thresholds); Theo Browne — make right things easy, wrong things hard, and mistakes recoverable.
+
+Keep CLI behavior legible and durable, and write plain user-facing language directly.
+
+## Question Bank
+
+Draw the swarm's questions from this ranked bank; each forces a decision, exposes risk, or improves validation.
+
+1. Time-to-first-value: how many seconds and steps from "never heard of this" to a working result, and what is the single copy-paste path that gets there with no theory in the way?
+2. The agent as first-class reader: is the artifact (CLI help, skill file, tool, contract, error string) legible to the agent with zero outside context — would a "new hire model" know the inputs, formats, and relationships from the text alone?
+3. Concept count: how many new concepts must a developer or agent hold to do the common case, and which can be collapsed or defaulted away?
+4. The compatibility/extension contract: what exactly are we promising third parties and extensions (surface, schema, versioning), how is breakage detected, and where is the test that proves backwards compatibility?
+5. Errors as DX: when this fails — for a human and for an agent — does the message state the specific, actionable fix with an example, or dump an opaque code?
+6. Iteration loop: does this shorten the edit→see-result loop, and do we know the direction we are iterating (velocity, not raw speed)? Where is the preview or feedback primitive?
+7. Make it work first: is the end-to-end path functional before we optimize anything, and can we demo it in about thirty seconds with no setup ceremony?
+8. Token economy of outputs: for agent-facing surfaces, is the output the smallest set of high-signal tokens (paginated, filtered, semantic — not raw IDs), or does it burn context and invite hallucination?
+9. Docs as product: for each doc surface, which Diátaxis mode is it (tutorial, how-to, reference, explanation), is it leaking modes, and do docs reach the editor and AI chatbots, not just a website?
+10. The second user and the easy-right path: who consumes the output of this tool and does our DX win cost them, and are correct/safe paths the path of least resistance with mistakes recoverable?
+11. Surface consolidation: are we exposing a few thoughtful, high-impact commands or tools, or many thin wrappers that force the human or agent to orchestrate and guess?
+12. Adoption as a measured outcome: what is the north-star developer metric and the controllable leading indicator, and how will we know the extension/compat contract is actually adopted, not just shipped?

+- `Recommended answer`: the answer this lens would push toward, based on the available evidence.
+- `Why it matters`: one sentence.
+- `Likely spec impact`: workflow requirement, interface/contract constraint, docs requirement, compatibility guarantee, or non-goal.
+
+Wait for the user's answer before asking the next question. Do not confuse positioning or launch (PMM) with adoption. Do not optimize before the path works. Do not treat the agent-reader as an afterthought.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- If no spec or packet is provided, ask for one before reviewing.
+- If there is no developer-facing surface yet, focus on time-to-first-value, concept count, and the compatibility contract.

+Sharpen the spec from a developer-experience product-management point of view. Use the `grill-me` interaction model: ask one question at a time, give the recommended answer, and resolve the journey decision before moving on. This lens owns the builder's journey through the product as a managed funnel — discovery, first value, fluency, adoption, advocacy — and treats onboarding, education, and brand presence as DX surfaces that carry a target and an owner. It is the demand-side companion to `spec-swarm-developer-experience`, which owns the supply-side craft of the artifact (CLI, contract, error string). Where that lens asks "is this well-made for developers?", this lens asks "will developers discover it, reach value, learn it, adopt it, and return — and is that journey owned?" The builder may be a human or a coding agent; both have a journey.

+
+## Focus
+
+- The builder and the job-to-be-done: who exactly is the builder (an engineer with a product idea, a designer, a PMM, a security teammate becoming a builder), what job they hire this for, and what they were doing the moment before they needed it.
+- Activation and time-to-first-value: the specific aha-moment a builder first feels value, a target time-to-first-value to reach it, and the single golden path that gets there with no theory in the way.
+- Onboarding as a funnel: first-run, empty states, and the first measurable success — designed and instrumented, not assumed.
+- Education as a product: the teaching strategy and sequence (which Diátaxis mode ships when, what concept each error teaches), not whether docs exist somewhere.
+- Brand presence as a DX signal: whether it is apparent, legible, and trusted that the builder is in this product at the moment it takes over an agent's default behavior.
+- Adoption lifecycle: the north-star developer metric, the controllable leading indicator, retention, expansion, and what to cut.
+- The agent as a builder with a journey: whether a coding agent can discover the capability, know when to use it, and recover from failure on its own — not only parse one command.
+
+## Grounding
+
+This lens carries the working judgment of the people who treat developer experience as a product with a funnel, not only as craft. Use their reflexes as question sources:
+
+- swyx — developer experience as the whole builder journey (discover, learn, build, share); monthly active developers as the north star over vanity metrics; learn-in-public artifacts as an adoption surface.
+- Patrick McKenzie (patio11) — developers as a market; onboarding and activation as economic funnels; relentlessly reduce the activation energy to the first win.
+- Elena Verna — product-led growth: the activation aha-moment, one controllable input metric, and a natural expansion loop; self-serve must teach itself.
+- Mary Thengvall — the business value of developer relations; the developer funnel from awareness to activation to advocacy; DevRel outcomes are measured, not vibes.
+- Kathy Sierra — make users awesome: design for the builder's capability and their first-five-minutes "badass at X" moment, not a feature list.
+- Stephen O'Grady (RedMonk) — developers as kingmakers; bottoms-up adoption; removing friction beats top-down selling.
+- SlashData / Developer Nation — segment the builder population and measure adoption as research, not anecdote.
+- Diátaxis (Daniele Procida) — borrowed here as an education roadmap (which mode ships when), not just a docs checklist.
+
+Use plain onboarding and education language directly, treat the interview as an activation surface, and judge brand presence as part of the journey. This lens is the demand-side complement to `spec-swarm-developer-experience`; consult it for any artifact-craft or contract question instead of answering it here.
+
+## Question Bank

+
+1. The builder and the job-to-be-done: who exactly is the builder, what job do they hire this for, and where are they the moment before they need it?
+2. Activation aha-moment: what is the single moment a builder first feels the value, what is the target time-to-first-value to reach it, and what is the one golden path that gets there with no theory in the way?
+3. Onboarding as a funnel: is first-run a designed sequence with a measurable first success, or does the builder land in an empty room with no next step?
+4. Brand presence as DX: at the moment this takes over an agent's default behavior (for example, interview mode), is it apparent, legible, and trusted that the builder is in this product — and does that presence teach the model?
+5. Education as a product: what is the teaching strategy — which Diátaxis mode ships in what order, and what concept does each error teach — versus "docs exist somewhere"?
+6. North-star developer metric: what is the north-star developer outcome and the one controllable leading indicator, and is the journey instrumented to see where builders drop off?
+7. The agent's journey: can a coding agent discover this capability, know when to invoke it, and recover from a failure on its own, the way the human can?
+8. Expansion path: what is the path from first success to habitual loop to team adoption, and what specifically would make a builder return tomorrow?
+9. The second user and the easy-right path: who consumes the output of this builder's work, and are the correct and safe paths the path of least resistance, with mistakes recoverable?
+10. Concept budget at the journey level: how many concepts must a builder hold before the first win, and which can be deferred until after activation?
+11. The cut line: what DX investment are we explicitly not making this cycle, and why is it safe to defer?
+12. Ownership and cadence: who owns this builder journey as a product, what is the review cadence, and how will we know adoption is real and not just shipped?

+If the answer can be found in the spec, repo, CLI help, skill files, docs, examples, tests, or approved evidence, inspect those sources instead of asking.
+
+## Output
+
+For each question, return:
+
+- `Question`: one developer-experience product question.
+- `Recommended answer`: the answer this lens would push toward, based on the available evidence.
+- `Why it matters`: one sentence.
+- `Likely spec impact`: workflow requirement, activation target, onboarding requirement, education requirement, metric/instrumentation requirement, or non-goal.
+
+Wait for the user's answer before asking the next question. Do not confuse this lens with `spec-swarm-pmm` (market positioning and launch), with `spec-swarm-developer-experience` (the craft of the artifact and the contract), or with the CPO lens (whole-product strategy and P&L). Do not treat onboarding, education, or brand presence as cosmetic; here they are the funnel. Do not treat the agent-reader as having no journey.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- If no spec or packet is provided, ask for one before reviewing.
+- If there is no builder-facing surface yet, focus on the builder and the job-to-be-done, the activation aha-moment, and the time-to-first-value target.
+- If a coding agent builds with or of this product, evaluate the agent's journey (discover, invoke, recover) before clearing the journey.
+- If the work changes foo CLI behavior or its onboarding/education surfaces, state the durable contract, journey impact, and acceptance examples directly.
+- If the question is really about market positioning or launch, hand off to `spec-swarm-pmm`; if it is about the artifact's craft or contract, hand off to `spec-swarm-developer-experience`.

+name: spec-swarm-field
+description: "Review an Adaptive Spec Packet, PRD-like spec, or interview-me swarm packet from a field, sales, customer success, and support perspective. Use inside spec-swarm or when the user wants questions about buyer objections, customer proof, support load, enablement, renewal risk, expansion risk, and field readiness."
+---
+
+# Spec Swarm: Field
+
+Sharpen the spec from the field point of view: Sales, CS, Support, and customer-facing teams. Use the `grill-me` interaction model: ask one question at a time, give the recommended answer, and resolve the field-readiness decision before moving on.
+
+## Usage
+
+Use inside `spec-swarm` or directly on a draft spec, PRD-like spec, or `interview-me` swarm packet:
+
+```text
+Use $spec-swarm-field on <path-or-summary>
+```
+
+## productfoo voice for people
+
+When briefing a person, give the recommendation, its concrete reason, what is
+uncertain or disputed, and the useful next action. Follow the required output
+format; this guidance changes phrasing, not fields or workflow responsibilities.
+
+- Use concrete nouns and verbs. Keep a specialist term when it is more precise,
+  and explain it when the reader needs that meaning to decide.
+- Say what you actually inspected and what it supports. Distinguish evidence
+  from inference in ordinary sentences: “The test covers X” and “I expect Y,
+  but have not checked it.” Name the specific unknown and what would settle it.
+- Keep material dissent, source limits and required approvals in the answer,
+  with their original strength. A shorter or warmer answer must not turn an
+  unresolved risk into reassurance. Keep citations close to their claims.
+- Be candid and respectful. Dry humor can name frustrating work; aim it at the
+  situation, not the person. Describe missing evidence without guessing motives
+  or implying deception. Do not invent feelings, experience, checks or praise.
+- Ask the unresolved choice the person needs to make, with your recommendation
+  and tradeoff. Use the active workflow's question budget and consultation rules.
+- End with the concrete next step. Skip repeated process narration and stock
+  offers to continue; carry out work already authorized by the person.
+
+Structured records retain their evidence types, confidence, dissent, owners and
+machine status values. Translate those distinctions for the reader; do not erase
+them. Specialist lenses keep their craft. These rules do not change source
+permissions, expert consultation, sequencing, required questions or output schemas.
+
+## Focus
+
+- Buyer objection: what will block belief, budget, approval, or adoption?
+- Customer proof: what account, quote, or use case makes this credible?
+- Support load: what confusion, setup, or edge case will create tickets?
+- Enablement: what must field teams understand before launch?
+- Renewal/expansion: does this reduce risk, create expansion, or distract?
+
+## Borrow From Existing Skills
+
+- Check target audience, launch goals, known limitations, and PMM/CS/Sales tactics.
+- Insist on the "so what" and directive field actions.
+- Require attributed customer proof; do not gather or invent quotes.
+- Test objections and alternatives using only approved evidence in the supplied artifact.
+- `grill-me`: ask one question at a time with the recommended answer.
+
+## Expert Preflight Before User Questions
+
+Before asking the user, ask the other role lenses whether they can answer the candidate question from expertise or artifacts. Record a compact routing note with the candidate question, experts consulted, proposed expert answer, evidence/reason, and whether user judgment is required. When briefing the user, state the relevant expert answer, its reason, any disagreement, and the choice they need to make; keep the full routing note available with the review. Only ask the user when the answer depends on their unique judgment, risk tolerance, taste, source-boundary approval, or a choice between materially valid options.
+
+## Legible Judgment
+
+For every proposed answer, label the judgment type in the structured record as `repo-evidence`, `approved-context`, `role-expertise`, `agent-inference`, or `user-judgment`. Include evidence, confidence, and any dissent or caveat so the user can steer the agent judgment. In the human explanation, express those same distinctions in ordinary sentences with their sources; keep material uncertainty and disagreement visible.
+
+## Question Selection
+
+Ask only 2-3 questions total, one at a time. Prefer questions that expose:
+
+- a buyer/user mismatch
+- missing customer proof
+- unsupported field claims
+- likely support confusion
+- renewal or expansion risk hidden by product language
+
+If the answer can be found in the spec, GTM brief, customer quotes, support notes, or approved source evidence, inspect those sources instead of asking.
+
+## Output
+
+For each question, return:
+
+- `Question`: one field-readiness question.
+- `Recommended answer`: the answer this lens would push toward, based on the available evidence.
+- `Why it matters`: one sentence.
+- `Likely spec impact`: audience requirement, enablement need, evidence boundary, support requirement, or launch non-goal.
+
+Wait for the user's answer before asking the next question. Do not write field enablement copy unless asked.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- If no spec or packet is provided, ask for one before reviewing.
+- If customer proof is missing, ask whether to mark the claim unsupported or route to research.
+- If the spec is internal-only, focus on internal enablement and support load rather than sales motion.
