scope-delta

name	scope-delta
description	Scope intentional change as a delta. Define applies-to specs/requirements, risks, and closure targets before implementation.

You are converting intent into a concrete change bundle.

Inputs:

• Target requirements/specs, or a backlog item.
• Policy/doctrine constraints (including any revision-first gate).

Process:

1. Read:
   • .spec-driver/agents/workflow.md
   • .spec-driver/agents/policy.md
   • .spec-driver/hooks/doctrine.md
2. If revision-first is required and missing, stop and run /shape-revision.
3. Create delta:
   • From scratch:
     • uv run spec-driver create delta "<title>" --spec SPEC-XXX --requirement SPEC-XXX.FR-001
   • From backlog item:
     • uv run spec-driver create delta --from-backlog ISSUE-XXX
4. Ensure delivery bundle is present and usable:
   • DE-XXX.md
   • DR-XXX.md (if non-trivial change)
   • IP-XXX.md
   • At least one phase sheet (create via /plan-phases)
5. Update DE-XXX.md to make scope explicit:
   • applies_to specs/requirements
   • Context inputs and risks
   • Verification/closure intent
6. If design is non-trivial, run /draft-design-revision.
7. Run /plan-phases to create/refine phase sheets before implementation.

Outcomes:

• A delta exists with clear scope and traceability targets.
• Next step (design/planning/implementation) is explicit.
