description	Load spec context and validation rules before generating wireframes

RescueDogs note: feature paths are features/<category>/<NNN-name>/, not specs/<feature>/. Validator is at .specify/extensions/wireframe/scripts/validate.py (shipped by this project).

speckit.wireframe.prep

Prime context for wireframe work. Run before /speckit.wireframe.generate when you want to pre-load spec context, validation rules, and any prior review issues.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Accepts:

• Feature identifier (e.g. 001-user-auth or 001) — prep for specific feature
• No args — prep for patch mode (load prior issues only)

Workflow

Step 1: Resolve feature

If an argument is provided, resolve it to the full feature directory:

# Accept "001" or "001-user-auth" or "user-auth"
FEATURE_DIR="specs/$(ls specs/ | grep -E "^${ARG}" | head -1)"

If no argument, set FEATURE_DIR="" (patch mode).

Step 2: Load mandatory files

Read these files and summarize nothing — the AI loads them silently for reasoning, then produces the priming block in Step 5.

1. Validator rules (if present): .specify/extensions/wireframe/scripts/validate.py — understand every check
2. Known issues log (if present): .specify/extensions/wireframe/GENERAL_ISSUES.md — avoid recurring mistakes
3. Extension configuration (if present): .specify/extensions/wireframe/wireframe-config.yml — theme defaults, output paths

If any of these files don't exist, continue without them — they're conveniences, not requirements.

Step 3: Load feature context

If FEATURE_DIR is set:

Read <FEATURE_DIR>/spec.md and extract:

• Feature ID and title
• Overview / description
• User Stories (each ### User Story N section)
• Functional Requirements (FR-NNN)
• Success Criteria (SC-NNN)
• Any ## UI Mockup block (prior sign-off)

If <FEATURE_DIR>/wireframes/ exists, list existing SVGs and their .issues.md files.

If FEATURE_DIR is empty (patch mode):

Find all .issues.md files under specs/*/wireframes/ and load them. These describe patches needed across features.

Step 4: Escalation check

Scan loaded issues for patterns that recur across multiple features. If a pattern appears in ≥3 features' issues files, flag it as an escalation candidate — it should probably be documented in .specify/extensions/wireframe/GENERAL_ISSUES.md to prevent repetition.

Output escalation candidates (if any):

═══════════════════════════════════════════
ESCALATION CANDIDATES
═══════════════════════════════════════════
Pattern: "Touch targets below 44px on mobile footer"
  Seen in: 001, 003, 005 (3 features)
  Suggest: Add to GENERAL_ISSUES.md

Pattern: "Badge overflow on annotation panel"
  Seen in: 002, 004 (2 features, 1 more and it should escalate)
═══════════════════════════════════════════

Step 5: Output priming block

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WIREFRAME PREP COMPLETE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

MODE: [feature | patch]
FEATURE: [NNN-feature-name | n/a]

NON-NEGOTIABLES:
  - Canvas 1920×1080, no deviation
  - Light theme panels #e8d4b8 (never #ffffff)
  - Minimum font 14px, touch targets 44px
  - FR/SC badges only in annotation panel
  - Each annotation group anchored by a User Story

CRITICAL VALIDATOR RULES (if validator loaded):
  [list of top 5 rules by frequency from GENERAL_ISSUES.md]

FEATURE STATE:
  Existing SVGs: [count]
  Issues files: [count]
  Signed off: [yes/no — yes if spec.md has `## UI Mockup` block]

PRIOR ISSUES (if any):
  [count] PATCHABLE
  [count] REGENERATE

NEXT STEPS:
  Generate: /speckit.wireframe.generate [feature]
  Review:   /speckit.wireframe.review [feature]
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

DO NOT

• Summarize the contents of loaded files — they're context for the AI, not output to the user
• Skip the escalation check — it's how recurring issues get promoted to shared knowledge
• Modify any files in this step — prep is read-only
