Understand the Specify CLI, agent instructions and persistent feature artifacts without mistaking a specification for a compiler or a release certificate.
Practice a small reading-list specification with acceptance scenarios, explicit unknowns and a pre-implementation consistency review.
Choose a pinned installation, the right script variant and explicit integration, then protect existing project files during initialization and upgrades.
Trace how durable feature artifacts differ from runtime template resolution and integration-specific command files.
Follow early exits, required-artifact flags, optional document output and delegated resolution without attributing behavior to code that was not inspected.
Design a fair pilot that accounts for specification effort, agent usage, review and repeated convergence without inventing productivity gains.
Protect project instructions and deployment authority while reviewing the side effects around analysis and append-only convergence.
Match workflow weight to ambiguity, coordination and feature lifetime, and distinguish analysis, convergence and requirement checklists.
Practice traceable gap handling with a pure synthetic model that preserves existing tasks, allocates new IDs and separates assessment from code changes.
