spec-loop

Choose the planning form for new work and plan it before execution. Use this skill to decide whether the work is taskless, chat-only, a task file, a task file with subtasks, or multiple task files / backlog items, and to create the needed plan for non-trivial implementation work or investigation work that needs its own task.

Help set up and troubleshoot rendering for task files and glossary files. Use when the user asks about PlantUML, AsciiDoc, VS Code, Cursor, other VS Code-based IDEs, JetBrains, preview rendering, Java, or Graphviz needed to review rendered task or glossary files.

Create or update a project glossary in the Spec Loop AsciiDoc glossary format. Use when the user, project instructions, or `spec-loop-plan-task` already requires project glossary work. This skill is mandatory for AsciiDoc project glossaries unless the user explicitly opts out for the current project or session.

Use this skill after execution approval for implementation work in an approved chat-only or task-file task. It governs implementation-time routing, canonical task updates, and the final review checkpoint.

Engage the User to resolve important open decisions in Spec Loop work, including tasks, plans, design updates, work breakdowns, implementation checkpoints, and ADR drafting. Use when the user asks to clarify, compare options, discuss criteria, or stress-test, or when different answers could materially change scope, behavior, policy, constraints, route, Design, Test specification, or ADR content. Provides mandatory decision screening for workflows that require it before dependent Spec Loop content is written or revised. Also use for general grilling when explicitly selected.
