SPEC.md Consultation Skill

Before implementing any feature or making architectural decisions, consult SPEC.md through an isolated Explore agent to understand the authoritative requirements and design principles.

Purpose

This skill provides access to SPEC.md (the source of truth for architecture and requirements) through a dedicated subagent that ONLY reads the specification, never the implementation code. This ensures you receive unbiased, authoritative guidance based on requirements rather than potentially incorrect implementations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this proactively when you:

• Begin implementing any feature (check spec requirements first)
• Design API responses or data structures (verify against spec models)
• Make architectural decisions (consult spec design principles)
• Need to understand design rationale for existing patterns
• Encounter conflicting information (get the ground truth)
• Verify technical requirements or constraints
• Check pagination strategies, error handling patterns, or data processing rules
