Skill: Spec Management

When to use this skill

• Before implementation: To analyze impact (specs/features.md).
• During architecture changes: To verify boundaries (specs/modules.md).
• When adding dependencies: To check constraints (specs/architecture.md).
• After major changes: To update the specs to reflect reality.

Available Specifications

Workflow: Impact Analysis

Before writing code, answer these questions using specs/features.md:

1. What am I modifying? (e.g., Risk Manager)
2. Who depends on this? (e.g., Executor, UI)
3. What constraints apply? (e.g., Decimal precision, Async)

Workflow: Updating Specs

If your code change modifies the system behavior (new flow, new module, new dependency), you MUST update the specs.

Checklist for Spec Update

• Does the architectural diagram in specs/modules.md need update?
• Did I add a new cross-cutting concern? Update specs/features.md.
• Did I change a communication pattern? Update specs/architecture.md.

Integration with Implementation

The /implement workflow includes a check step. When in doubt:

1. Read specs/features.md to see what you might break.
2. Implement your change.
3. Verify that you respected specs/modules.md boundaries.
4. Update specs if you introduced something new.
