spec-kit-project-cognition-gate

What problem does it solve?

Prevents confident-but-wrong edits and architecture decisions by forcing advisory project cognition to be used only for navigation, then proving technical claims from live repository evidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Advisory navigation for brownfield work: Uses the active workflow’s project cognition bundle to choose minimal reads, relevant surfaces, and verification routes before any source grounding.
• Concept selection governance: Guides how to plan with project-cognition lexicon candidates, rank/filter via the user request, record selected and rejected concepts, and carry decisions forward into project-cognition query.
• Evidence discipline across repos: Supports cross-project references only when cognition runtimes are fresh and ready, otherwise blocks technical claims and falls back to minimal live reads plus explicit map-maintenance when requested.

Quick Start

Use this skill when you are changing or debugging an existing Spec Kit Plus repository and must base technical recommendations on minimal live evidence while following the active workflow’s project cognition contract.
