/refine

Targeted revision without re-running /feature.

  • Spec needs updates based on new information
  • Stakeholder feedback changed requirements
  • You want to adjust without starting over

Add // comments at the start of a line in the spec to mark corrections:

Rework rate drops by 20% for spec'd features.
// too specific — we don't have a baseline yet

Then run /refine specs/[name].md. The AI:

  1. Collects all // comments as agenda items
  2. Challenges each change — is this making the spec better or backing away from a hard commitment?
  3. Checks for ripple effects across sections
  4. Applies agreed changes and adds refinement notes to thinking records
  5. Updates specs/DECISIONS.md if affected

Factual corrections are accepted without challenge. Weakening changes get pushed back on.

Updated spec with refinement audit trail in the thinking records.
