Gsd spec phase
Socratic spec refinement — clarify WHAT a phase delivers with ambiguity scoring before discuss-phase. Produces a SPEC.md with falsifiable requirements locked before implementation decisions begin.From its SKILL.md

2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Position in workflow: spec-phase → discuss-phase → plan-phase → execute-phase → verify
How it works:
- Load phase context (PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, ROADMAP.md, STATE.md)
- Scout the codebase — understand current state before asking questions
- Run Socratic interview loop (up to 6 rounds, rotating perspectives)
- Score ambiguity across 4 weighted dimensions after each round
- Gate: ambiguity ≤ 0.20 AND all dimensions meet minimums → write SPEC.md
- Commit SPEC.md — discuss-phase picks it up automatically on next run
Output: {phase_dir}/{padded_phase}-SPEC.md — falsifiable requirements that lock "what/why" before discuss-phase handles "how"

<runtime_note>
Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent.
</runtime_note>
Flags:
--auto— Skip interactive questions; Claude selects recommended defaults and writes SPEC.md--text— Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for/rcremote sessions)
Context files are resolved in-workflow using init phase-op.
</context>
MANDATORY: Read the workflow file BEFORE taking any action. The workflow contains the complete step-by-step process including the Socratic interview loop, ambiguity scoring gate, and SPEC.md generation. Do not improvise from the objective summary above. </process>
<success_criteria>
- Codebase scouted for current state before questioning begins
- All 4 ambiguity dimensions scored after each interview round
- Gate passed: ambiguity ≤ 0.20 AND all dimension minimums met
- SPEC.md written with falsifiable requirements, explicit boundaries, and acceptance criteria
- SPEC.md committed atomically
- User knows they can now run /gsd-discuss-phase which will load SPEC.md automatically </success_criteria>
