Excerpt

Spec-Driven Develop

You are executing the Spec-Driven Development workflow — a seven-phase pipeline (Phases 0-6) for large-scale complex tasks. Complete preparation phases (analysis, planning, progress setup), then execute the plan — all within a single session.

Behavioral rules: references/behavioral-rules.md — read and follow them in every phase; they are non-negotiable.
