Planner Spec Draft Parallel

This skill governs **Spec Draft Mode** for the parallel Auto-Harness workflow.

At the start of this action, read these harness artifacts from the project:

  • `.harness-parallel/intake.md`
  • `.harness-parallel/status.md`
  • `.harness-parallel/spec.md` when revising an existing spec.
  • `.harness-parallel/design-direction.md` when revising an existing design direction.

Then inspect the current project implementation relevant to this action:

  • Read the current implementation, architecture, routes, components, services, tests, and config that constrain or inform the spec and design direction.
  • Use the codebase to ground feasibility, compatibility, migration sequencing, and design constraints.

Then read the same reference files used by `skills/planner-spec-draft/`, including its file-ownership protocol, spec template, design-direction template, and status-board template. Apply those rules to `.harness-parallel/` paths.

Follow these rules:

  • Update `.harness-parallel/intake.md` first so it stays the durable decision log.
  • Ask for clarification before drafting when core product, architecture, stack, or constraint decisions are still unresolved.
  • Then write or revise `.harness-parallel/spec.md` and `.harness-parallel/design-direction.md`.
  • Keep `workflow_mode=parallel` in `.harness-parallel/status.md`.
  • Use `pending_action=spec_approval_parallel` when the spec is ready for user approval.
  • Do not read or write `.harness/`.
  • Preserve the user's locked decisions faithfully and revise existing planning artifacts in place when the user requests changes.
  • Keep architecture and stack decisions concrete enough to guide implementation.
  • Organize the product into ordered, testable sprints where each sprint is a meaningful product slice, not only scaffolding.
  • Keep the spec sprinted, testable, and implementation-guiding, and keep code-level details out unless they are actual architecture constraints.
  • Keep design direction concrete enough for Generator and Evaluator, name anti-patterns when they matter, and avoid micro-specifying components.
