Grove Spec Writing

A comprehensive guide for writing technical specifications in the Grove ecosystem. Use this skill to create new specs that feel like storybook entries, or to validate and standardize existing specs.

When to Activate

• Creating a new technical specification
• Reviewing an existing spec for completeness
• Adding ASCII art headers to specs missing them
• Adding diagrams, mockups, or visual elements to text-heavy specs
• Standardizing frontmatter across spec files
• Validating a spec against Grove standards before finalizing

The Spec as Storybook Entry

Grove specs aren't just technical documents. They're storybook entries in a larger narrative. Each spec should feel like opening a page in a beautifully illustrated field guide to the forest.
