# Specifications Summary

**Date:** 2026-02-18  
**Tool:** GitHub Spec Kit (via `uv tool install specify-cli`)  
**Status:** ✅ All specifications generated

---

## Overview

This document summarizes the specifications created for the Intent-Code Traceability project based on `Architecture.md`.

**Important Note:** The specs were **manually created** (by AI assistant) following Spec-Driven Development (SDD) principles, not automatically generated by GitHub Spec Kit. Spec Kit was installed but serves as a **workflow framework** for future spec-driven development, not as an auto-generator.

---

## Installed Tools

- **GitHub Spec Kit CLI**: Installed via `uv tool install specify-cli --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git`
    - **Purpose**: Provides SDD workflow framework with slash commands (`/specify`, `/plan`, `/tasks`, etc.) for AI-assisted spec creation
    - **Status**: Installed and ready for use, but specs were created manually
- **Spec Generation Script**: `scripts/generate-specs.mjs` (custom script that parses markdown specs and generates `active_intents.yaml`)

---

## Generated Specifications

### INT-001: Intent-Code Traceability (Core)

**File:** `specs/INT-001-intent-code-traceability.md`

The foundational specification for the entire Intent-Code Traceability system. Defines the core requirements for enforcing intent selection, privilege separation, and spatial independence.

**Status:** IN_PROGRESS

---

### INT-002: Hook System Implementation

**File:** `specs/INT-002-hook-system-implementation.md`

Specifies the hook system that intercepts tool execution in Roo Code. Defines Pre-Hook and Post-Hook integration points, scope validation, and trace logging.

**Status:** IN_PROGRESS

---

### INT-003: Two-Stage Reasoning Loop

**File:** `specs/INT-003-reasoning-loop.md`

Defines the two-stage state machine:

- **Stage 1:** Reasoning Intercept (intent selection)
- **Stage 2:** Contextualized Action (code generation with intent context)

**Status:** IN_PROGRESS

---

### INT-004: Orchestration Directory Management

**File:** `specs/INT-004-orchestration-directory.md`

Specifies the data model for managing `.orchestration/` directory files:

- `active_intents.yaml`
- `agent_trace.jsonl`
- `intent_map.md`
- `AGENT.md`

**Status:** IN_PROGRESS

---

### INT-005: Logging & Traceability

**File:** `specs/INT-005-logging-traceability.md`

Defines comprehensive trace logging requirements:

- Content hashing (SHA-256)
- VCS revision tracking
- Spatial independence
- Atomic append operations

**Status:** IN_PROGRESS

---

### INT-006: Testing & Validation

**File:** `specs/INT-006-testing-validation.md`

Specifies test coverage requirements:

- Unit tests for hooks and orchestration
- Integration tests for tool execution
- E2E tests for full workflow
- Coverage target: > 80%

**Status:** IN_PROGRESS

---

### INT-007: Documentation & Knowledge Base

**File:** `specs/INT-007-documentation.md`

Defines documentation requirements:

- Architecture notes
- API documentation
- Knowledge base (AGENT.md)
- README updates

**Status:** IN_PROGRESS

---

## Generated Files

### `.orchestration/active_intents.yaml`

Contains all 7 intents with:

- ID, name, status
- Owned scope (file paths)
- Constraints
- Acceptance criteria
- Metadata (created_at, updated_at, spec_hash, spec_file)

**Generated by:** `pnpm spec:generate`

---

## Usage

### Generate/Update Intents

```bash
pnpm spec:generate
```

This command:

1. Scans `specs/*.md` files
2. Parses Intent, Scope, Constraints, and Acceptance Criteria sections
3. Updates `.orchestration/active_intents.yaml` with all intents

### Add New Spec

1. Create a new file in `specs/` following the format:

    ```markdown
    # INT-XXX — Title

    ## Intent

    ...

    ## Scope (owned_scope)

    - path/to/files/\*\*

    ## Constraints

    - Constraint 1
    - Constraint 2

    ## Acceptance Criteria

    - Criterion 1
    - Criterion 2
    ```

2. Run `pnpm spec:generate`

---

## Next Steps

1. **Review Specifications**: Review each spec file to ensure alignment with `Architecture.md`
2. **Implement Phase 1**: Start with INT-002 (Hook System Implementation)
3. **Update Status**: As you complete each intent, update its status in `active_intents.yaml`:
    - `IN_PROGRESS` → `COMPLETED` or `BLOCKED`
4. **Generate Traces**: As you implement, the hook system will automatically log to `agent_trace.jsonl`

## Integration with GitHub Spec Kit

### What Spec Kit Actually Does

GitHub Spec Kit is **not an auto-generator**—it's a **workflow framework** for Spec-Driven Development (SDD) that provides:

- **Slash Commands** for AI assistants:

    - `/constitution` — Establish project principles
    - `/specify` — Describe requirements and user stories
    - `/clarify` — Clarify underspecified areas
    - `/plan` — Define tech stack and architecture
    - `/tasks` — Generate actionable tasks
    - `/implement` — Execute tasks to build features

- **CLI Tools**:
    - `specify init` — Initialize a new Spec Kit project with AI assistant integration
    - `specify check` — Verify tool installation
    - `specify extension` — Manage extensions

### How We Used It

1. **Installed Spec Kit CLI** ✅ (for future SDD workflow)
2. **Manually created specs** ✅ (following SDD principles, but not using Spec Kit's slash commands)
3. **Custom script** (`generate-specs.mjs`) parses our markdown specs and generates `active_intents.yaml`

### Future Use

You can now use Spec Kit's workflow with your AI assistant (Cursor, Claude, etc.) to:

- Refine existing specs using `/specify` and `/clarify`
- Generate implementation tasks using `/tasks`
- Track spec-driven development using `/implement`
