Author or update architecture decision records (a.k.a. ADRs, design decisions, architecture decision log entries) under docs/adr/ as NNN-kebab-case.md with Nygard-style Context, Decision, Consequences, and an explicit Status. Use whenever the user is recording a new decision, superseding an old one, capturing a…
Close a story end-to-end — flip its status to a terminal value and reconcile every downstream artifact in one pass: the backlog Status cell, the docs/queue.md row, the parent epic table (when the project uses epics), then a queue-audit reconcile. Use whenever the user says "close", "mark done", "ship", "finish"…
Configure doccraft for this project by tailoring doccraft.json — the vocabulary, id format, queue labels, and session-wrap settings. Two modes: Analyse mode reads the project tree and proposes values for all key fields with reasoning, applying on approval; Edit mode applies a targeted change (e.g. "add…
Reconcile the dependency graph, pick-next queue, and backlog status across docs/stories/, docs/queue.md, and docs/backlog.md. Use after adding or editing a story (especially one with dependson), after reshuffling priorities, or when the user asks "what can I work on next", "what's unblocked", "sanity-check the queue"…
After a design, research, business, or prioritisation thread, evaluate whether the conversation produced durable insight worth capturing in docs/, then propose only the artifacts that are clearly justified (ADR, research note, reference doc, business update, story, backlog/queue edit). Use when the user says "wrap…
Author or update product stories (a.k.a. planning docs, backlog items, tickets, specs) as Markdown under docs/stories/ with a YAML frontmatter contract (id, status, impact, urgency, dependson, tags, openspec). Use this whenever the user is creating a story, reprioritising work, writing acceptance criteria, linking a…
Update the installed doccraft skills and openspec instructions to the latest release. Reads the version stamp from doccraft.json, fetches the migration manifest via npx doccraft@latest llm, and either updates silently (dominant path — no migration entries) or summarises and gates on approval (assisted path — migration…
Enter explore mode - a thinking partner for exploring ideas, investigating problems, and clarifying requirements. Use when the user wants to think through something before or during a change.
Propose a new change with all artifacts generated in one step. Use when the user wants to quickly describe what they want to build and get a complete proposal with design, specs, and tasks ready for implementation.
