# Genesis Spec-Kit

A spec-driven development pipeline. Features travel gated phases from idea to
shipped code; a quality-audit loop runs to zero findings at every boundary.
All state lives in plain files under .genesis/.

## Pipeline (in order)

| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| /genesis-brainstorm | Interactive ideation + decision capture at any boundary |
| /genesis-feature    | Write the feature design doc (WHY + SHAPE) |
| /genesis-specify    | Write the master spec (WHAT) + the micro-spec plan |
| /genesis-clarify    | Find and close holes in the spec before North Star |
| /genesis-northstar  | Write the perfect-world vision + quality dimensions |
| /genesis-micro      | Write all micro specs for one group |
| /genesis-implement  | Implement one micro spec → one commit → one PR |
| /genesis-a1..a5     | The five audit lenses (run per group, loop to zero) |
| /genesis-final      | The F-pass: the lenses feature-wide + Dreamland + Simulation |
| /genesis-accept     | The boundary ritual — record approval, journal, advance (no git) |

### Audit order (per group): A1 → A2 → A3 → A4 → A5 (each loops to zero findings)
### The Double Gate: A3 cannot start until A1 is at zero findings.
### After all groups accepted: /genesis-final, then /genesis-closure (PR to main).

## Utility

| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| /genesis-init       | Scaffold the kit and pick a mode |
| /genesis-discover   | Build the project profile through guided conversation |
| /genesis-constitute | Write the project's constitution (its supreme law) |
| /genesis-design     | Author project-level design docs (architecture, ADRs, journeys) |
| /genesis-amend      | Formally amend the constitution, with impact analysis |
| /genesis-closure    | Push the branch and open a PR (the only step that does git) |
| /genesis-status     | Where am I? (read-only, any time) |
| /genesis-resume     | Pick up where I left off (read-only, any time) |
| /genesis-help       | This reference |

## Quick start

1. /genesis-init        — set up the kit
2. /genesis-discover    — tell the kit about your project
3. /genesis-constitute  — define the rules
4. /genesis-brainstorm  — start your first feature
