Please analyze GitHub issue #$ARGUMENTS and create a technical specification.

Follow these steps:

  1. Check if the issue is already loaded:

    • Look for the issue file in ./specs/issues/ folder
    • File naming pattern: <number-padded-to-3-digits>-<kebab-case-title>.md
    • If not found, fetch the issue details from GitHub (see step 2)
  2. Fetch the issue details (if not already loaded):

    • Read .claude/commands/load-issues.md to understand how to fetch issue details
    • Save the issue file following the load-issues.md format
  3. Understand the requirements thoroughly

  4. Review related code and project structure

  5. Create a technical specification with the format below

Technical Specification for Issue #$ARGUMENTS

Remember to follow our strict TDD principles, KISS approach, and 300-line file limit.

IMPORTANT: After completing your analysis, SAVE the full technical specification to: ./specs/issues/<number-padded-to-3-digits>-<kebab-case-title>.specs.md

For example, for issue #7 with title "Make code review trigger on any *.SQL and .sh file changes", save to: ./specs/issues/007-make-code-review-trigger-on-sql-sh-changes.specs.md

After saving, provide a brief summary to the user confirming:

  • Issue number and title analyzed
  • File path where the specification was saved
  • Key highlights from the specification (2-3 bullet points)
