• Search for files and code related to the task description
• Identify existing patterns that the spec should follow
• Map the impact area of proposed changes
• Generate SEARCH-CONTEXT.md with findings

2. Clarifying Question Resolution

• Identify ambiguities in the task description
• Generate targeted clarifying questions
• Resolve assumptions with explicit choices
• Document decisions for traceability

3. Spec Generation

• Structure specs with: title, goals, tasks, acceptance criteria
• Decompose into atomic, testable tasks
• Define dependency graphs between tasks
• Include rollback plans and risk assessments
• Generate SPEC.md document

4. Iterative Refinement

• Accept plan-reviewer feedback
• Apply revision requests by severity
• Refine task decomposition
• Update acceptance criteria
