We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

6 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈5

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Review Application Specification

Validate a component_type: application spec against what the spec-editor-ui actually renders and the structural requirements from specify.

When to Use

  • After creating or updating an application spec
  • Before submitting a spec for formal review
  • When debugging why sections appear empty in the spec-editor-ui Application Detail view

Process

  1. Locate spec: Read spec/spec.md in the target repo. Verify component_type: application in frontmatter.
  2. Run checklist: Evaluate every item in references/checklist.md.
  3. Report findings: Group issues by severity (FAIL = will break UI, WARN = degraded display, INFO = quality improvement).
  4. Fix or flag: If instructed to fix, apply corrections. Otherwise, output the report.

Quick Reference

The spec-editor-ui ApplicationDetailPage has 7 tabs. Each tab extracts data from specific sections/artifacts:

TabData Source
OverviewPurpose, In Scope, Out of Scope, Operational Boundaries, API Endpoints, Components (catalog), Standards (frontmatter)
ArchitectureMermaid diagrams (tagged logical/deployment), FR diagrams, Aggregated Objects (catalog)
IntegrationArtifacts with tags: [integration] in frontmatter
SecurityTrust Boundaries table, artifacts with tags: [security], Standards
RequirementsStR/US/FR/NFR tables parsed from spec.md
DecisionsADR artifacts (artifact_type: ADR) or inline ADR sections
SpecRaw markdown rendering

Key Parsing Rules (Quire Library)

These are the exact parser behaviors that determine whether content renders:

  • Out of Scope: parseDelegations() only recognizes (Handled by X) or (Delegated to X) patterns. Other parentheticals won't extract delegation targets.
  • In Scope: parseBulletList() default pattern is bold-description (**Title** — Description). Plain bullets fall back to title-only.
  • Operational Boundaries: parseBulletList({ pattern: 'bold-colon' }) requires **Name**: detail format.
  • Trust Boundaries: parseTable() on section "Trust Boundaries" — expects 3 columns: Role, Capabilities, Restrictions.
  • Mermaid tags: findDiagramByTag() matches %% @type: logical and %% @type: deployment comments in mermaid blocks.
  • Integration tab: Filters artifacts by tags: [integration] in YAML frontmatter (case-insensitive).
  • Security tab: Filters artifacts by tags: [security] in YAML frontmatter.

Golden Reference

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
