# Specrate
Manage specs and changes to specs in a structured workflow for proposing, planning, implementing, and archiving changes.
## Prerequisites
- Git repository
- Understanding of spec-driven development
## Instructions
### Core Actions
Based on user intent, follow the appropriate action:
| Intent | Action |
|--------|--------|
| Show current status | SHOW-STATUS |
| Propose a new change | PROPOSE-CHANGE |
| Amend an existing change | AMEND-CHANGE |
| Plan a proposed change | PLAN-CHANGE |
| Implement a planned change | IMPLEMENT-CHANGE |
| Archive an implemented change | ARCHIVE-CHANGE |
| Fix a spec according to codebase | FIX-SPEC |
### Workflow
```
Propose → Plan → Implement → Archive
```
Each step has validation and documentation requirements.
### Directory Structure
All specrate artifacts reside in `.specrate/` at repository root:
```
.specrate/
├── specs/ # Current specifications
├── changes/ # Proposed and active changes
│ ├── proposed/
│ ├── planned/
│ └── implementing/
└── archive/ # Completed changes
```
### Handling Ambiguous Requests
- If intent mixes multiple actions: break down and confirm
- If intent is ambiguous (e.g., "update the spec"): ask clarifying questions with options
## Guidelines
1. Always ask for clarifications if needed
2. Ensure workspace remains consistent after each step
3. All artifacts MUST reside in `.specrate/` folder
4. Do NOT create auxiliary documents outside `.specrate/`
5. Provide concise options when asking for clarifications
## Notes
- Designed for structured change management
- Supports full change lifecycle tracking
- Maintains audit trail of all spec modifications
