gsd-spec-phase

name	gsd-spec-phase
description	Clarify WHAT a phase delivers with ambiguity scoring; produces a SPEC.md before discuss-phase.

<augment_skill_adapter>

A. Skill Invocation

• This skill is invoked when the user mentions gsd-spec-phase or describes a task matching this skill.
• Treat all user text after the skill mention as {{GSD_ARGS}}.
• If no arguments are present, treat {{GSD_ARGS}} as empty.

B. User Prompting

When the workflow needs user input, prompt the user conversationally:

• Present options as a numbered list in your response text
• Ask the user to reply with their choice
• For multi-select, ask for comma-separated numbers

C. Tool Usage

Use these Augment tools when executing GSD workflows:

• launch-process for running commands (terminal operations)
• str-replace-editor for editing existing files
• view for reading files and listing directories
• save-file for creating new files
• grep for searching code (or use MCP servers for advanced search)
• web-search, web-fetch for web queries
• add_tasks, view_tasklist, update_tasks for task management

D. Subagent Spawning

When the workflow needs to spawn a subagent:

• Use the built-in subagent spawning capability
• Define agent prompts in .augment/agents/ directory </augment_skill_adapter>

Clarify phase requirements through structured Socratic questioning with quantitative ambiguity scoring.

Position in workflow: spec-phase → discuss-phase → plan-phase → execute-phase → verify

How it works:

1. Load phase context (PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, ROADMAP.md, STATE.md)
2. Scout the codebase — understand current state before asking questions
3. Run Socratic interview loop (up to 6 rounds, rotating perspectives)
4. Score ambiguity across 4 weighted dimensions after each round
5. Gate: ambiguity ≤ 0.20 AND all dimensions meet minimums → write SPEC.md
6. Commit SPEC.md — discuss-phase picks it up automatically on next run

Output: {phase_dir}/{padded_phase}-SPEC.md — falsifiable requirements that lock "what/why" before discuss-phase handles "how"

<runtime_note> Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls conversational prompting. They are equivalent. </runtime_note>

Phase number: {{GSD_ARGS}} (required)

Flags:

• --auto — Skip interactive questions; Claude selects recommended defaults and writes SPEC.md
• --text — Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for /rc remote sessions)

Context files are resolved in-workflow using init phase-op.

Execute the spec-phase workflow from @/home/delorenj/code/bhappy/.augment/get-shit-done/workflows/spec-phase.md end-to-end.

MANDATORY: Read the workflow file BEFORE taking any action. The workflow contains the complete step-by-step process including the Socratic interview loop, ambiguity scoring gate, and SPEC.md generation. Do not improvise from the objective summary above.

<success_criteria>

• Codebase scouted for current state before questioning begins
• All 4 ambiguity dimensions scored after each interview round
• Gate passed: ambiguity ≤ 0.20 AND all dimension minimums met
• SPEC.md written with falsifiable requirements, explicit boundaries, and acceptance criteria
• SPEC.md committed atomically
• User knows they can now run /gsd-discuss-phase which will load SPEC.md automatically </success_criteria>
