SpecForge Project Intake

Use SpecForge for development-project intake before implementation.

Trigger

Use this skill when the user says things like:

• "I want to build a project"
• "I need to build an app/tool/platform/API"
• "Let's create a new software project"
• "Plan/spec/architect this feature"
• "Use SpecForge" or "spec forge this"

Required Flow

1. Call the specforge tool with action="handle" and the exact latest user message.
2. Follow the returned guidance.
3. Keep the conversation in the current SpecForge stage until the tool advances it.
4. Do not implement, scaffold, assign tasks, or create execution work until SpecForge reaches approval/execution handoff.
5. After approval, route code/project execution to the coding family team by default and keep an operator-visible orchestration loop.

Stage Discipline

• project_type_gate: ask only whether the project is GREENFIELD or BROWNFIELD.
• intake_interview: ask one focused intake question at a time.
• draft_review: draft/update the PRD or implementation spec and request feedback.
• awaiting_approval: wait for explicit APPROVE or REQUEST CHANGES.
• approved_execution: implementation handoff is allowed. Use family.dispatch_contracted for auditable development work with explicit toolsAllow, timeout, and heartbeat settings. Use family.dispatch for lighter development work; technical/code tasks auto-prefer the dev-team family specialists. Use family.spawn with mode="family" only when a specific named coding family member is required. Use team_spawn when the approved plan needs multiple coordinated agents with dependencies. Use sessions_spawn only for a single isolated background task when family/team routing does not fit. Apply ArgentOS coding skills by role: argentos-implementation-planning for planners, argentos-test-driven-development and argentos-systematic-debugging for implementers/debuggers, argentos-code-verification for reviewers/integrators, and argentos-family-team-development for multi-agent execution. For UI/browser proof, use Browser Use with Chrome-backed inspection instead of standalone Playwright. After handoff, keep checking family.contract_history, team_status, Redis-backed family.message/family.inbox, and completion announcements; update the operator when work starts, blocks, completes, fails, or changes scope. Mirror durable decisions, blockers, merge requests, and containment proof to the Threadmaster bus.

Commands

• Continue intake: call specforge with {"action":"handle","message":"<latest user message>"}.
• Inspect status: call specforge with {"action":"status"}.
• Exit: call specforge with {"action":"exit"} only when the user cancels SpecForge.
