Absolute Spec

Absolute Spec turns a fuzzy intent into a reviewed design-spec document — then stops. It is the planning artifact of work, lifted out of the full lifecycle: scan the codebase, ask only the questions the code can't answer, write the spec, run an independent scored review, and hand back a doc you can discuss, hand off, or feed into /absolute work to build.

It is deliberately lightweight. No relentless interview, no task board, no decompose, no execution. One deliverable: a spec good enough that an unfamiliar developer could build from it.
