optimizespec-common

name	optimizespec-common
description	Shared OptimizeSpec self-improvement references and templates. Use only as a supporting skill when another OptimizeSpec skill needs workflow, ASI, scorer, runner, or runtime-specific reference material.

OptimizeSpec Common

This skill is a shared reference bundle for:

• optimizespec-new
• optimizespec-continue
• optimizespec-apply
• optimizespec-verify

Reference Loading

Load references/core/reference-contracts.md first when a phase skill needs shared OptimizeSpec system expectations. It explains which smaller core contracts to load for proposal, design, apply, and verify work, and when to load runtime-specific contracts such as references/runtimes/claude-managed-agent/.

Keep loading progressive: use only the references needed for the current phase, infer the target runtime from repo inspection when possible, and cite contract names in generated artifacts while summarizing only the details the user needs.

References

Assets

• assets/templates/: proposal, design, spec, task, eval case, and candidate templates.
