What problem does it solve? Turning a rough idea into an approved, analysis-backed design spec requires structured brainstorming, architecture review, ADR compliance checks, and impact assessment — doing this manually is slow and inconsistent. This Skill orchestrates the entire ideation-to-approved-spec workflow so every design decision is documented, validated, and traceable. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Design Brainstorming: Wraps the superpowers brainstorming skill with template, output path, and exit overrides to produce a structured spec in docs/specs/. - Conditional Analysis Enrichment: Dispatches parallel Sonnet subagents for ADR compliance, architecture review, impact analysis, dependency graphing, and scenario comparison based on spec content. - Conflict Resolution and Review Gate: Surfaces contradictions between design and analysis findings, runs a spec quality review, and enforces an explicit user approval gate before proceeding. - Use Case: After /forge-discover classifies a feature as High complexity, run /forge-spec "retrieval caching" to brainstorm the design, automatically validate it against ADRs and the platform map, and exit with an approved spec ready for issue decomposition via /forge-shape. ## Quick Start Invoke /forge-spec with a short topic like "bot notification routing" to start an interactive design session that ends with an approved, analysis-enriched spec file.
