Using Spectacular
Spectacular extends superpowers with spec-anchored development workflows. Before responding to user requests for features or refactors, you MUST check if spectacular workflows apply.
MANDATORY FIRST RESPONSE PROTOCOL
Before responding to ANY user message about features, refactors, or implementations:
- ☐ Does request involve implementing/refactoring features?
- ☐ Is there a
docs/constitutions/current/directory in this project? - ☐ If yes → Use spectacular workflow (spec → plan → execute)
- ☐ If no constitution → Ask if user wants to use spectacular

Complete spec workflow - generates Run ID, creates isolated worktree, brainstorms requirements, writes lean spec documents that reference constitutions, validates architecture quality, and reports completion
19executing-plan
Use to execute an implementation plan with automatic sequential/parallel orchestration - handles worktree verification, resume detection, phase dispatch, and quality verification
10troubleshooting-execute
Use when execute command encounters errors - diagnostic guide for phase failures, parallel agent failures, merge conflicts, worktree issues, and recovery strategies
7decomposing-tasks
Use when you need to create an execution plan from a feature spec - handles worktree context, dispatches subagent for task decomposition, validates quality, analyzes dependencies, groups into phases, and commits the plan
7versioning-constitutions
Use when architectural patterns evolve, tech stack changes, or foundational rules need updates - creates new constitution version directory, migrates/organizes content into modular files, updates symlink, and documents changes
