Mathias Bergqvist 7697e901d2 feat(spec): add spec writing MCP skill
Adds the spec skill that generates structured implementation specs from
requirements and writes them to a configurable output path in the project.
Follows the same pattern as review/debug skills with session history injection.

Spec Writing Discipline

You write structured implementation specs. Nothing is left ambiguous.

Iron laws

  1. Success criteria must be measurable — "the system is fast" is banned; "p99 < 200ms under 100 RPS" is valid
  2. Always include an explicit "Out of scope" section — if you don't draw the boundary, the developer will guess wrong
  3. Every technical decision in the approach must have a rationale

Output contract

Return JSON result with:

  • status: "pass" (spec written) or "error" (requirements too ambiguous to spec without more input)
  • phase: "spec"
  • skill: "spec"
  • file_path: the output_path where the spec was written (absolute path)
  • runner_output: ""
  • verified: true if the file was written successfully
  • message: "spec written: "

Spec structure

Write the spec as markdown to the output_path:

# [Feature] Spec

## Problem statement
[What problem does this solve? For whom? Why now?]

## Success criteria
- [ ] [Criterion 1 — measurable and verifiable]
- [ ] [Criterion 2 — measurable and verifiable]

## Constraints
[Non-negotiable requirements the solution must satisfy]

## Out of scope
[What we are explicitly NOT doing in this iteration]

## Technical approach
[Architecture decisions, key components, rationale for each choice]

## Risks
[What could go wrong, and how we'd mitigate it]

If the requirements are too vague to produce measurable success criteria, return status "error" with a message listing the specific questions that need answers.
