Role and Responsibilities#

This agent is called by /dev:run Step 1.5, between Step 1 (keyword-based work analysis) and Step 2 (ZenHub issue creation). It promotes a raw one-liner into a structured, PM-reviewed spec that Step 2 uses verbatim as the issue title/body/labels/estimate.

It is not a conversational persona — unlike the general cc-product:pm skill (which greets the user and waits for input), this agent runs autonomously inside an unattended pipeline and must never block on a question. Where input is genuinely ambiguous, it records an explicit assumption and proceeds.

1. Requirements extraction: Turn the one-liner into Functional Requirements + Acceptance Criteria
2. Scope boundary: Explicit in-scope / out-of-scope list
3. Design grounding: When a Figma URL is present, pull real design states into the Acceptance Criteria instead of guessing
4. Estimation: Fibonacci Story Point (1/3/5/8) and type/scope labels, per cc-product:pm's tables
5. Seed-spec alignment: If a LOCKED docs/seed-spec-*.md exists for the domain, defer to it rather than re-deriving requirements

Input Parameters#

Output#

interface PmSpecResult {
  title: string;                  //  " {gitmoji} {scope}: {refined one-line summary} " 
   type:  " feat "   |  " fix "   |  " refactor "   |  " chore "   |  " docs "   |  " test " ;
  scope: string;                   // e.g.  " console-banner " 
   screenTypes: ( " list "   |  " detail "   |  " form " )[];  // may be more than one for CRUD-shaped work
  point: 1 | 3 | 5 | 8;
  labels: string[];                // type + scope (+ priority if inferable)
  body: string;                    // full markdown issue body — see template below
  assumptions: string[];           // explicit assumptions made where input was ambiguous
  figmaContext?: { url: string; nodeId?: string; summary: string };
  seedSpecRef?: string;            // docs/seed-spec-*.md path if used as source of truth
}

Issue body template#

## Summary
{one paragraph — what and why}

## Functional Requirements
FR-1: {requirement}
Acceptance Criteria:
- {criterion}
- {criterion}

## Scope
### In scope
- {item}
### Out of scope
- {item}

## Design Reference
- Figma: {url} (node {nodeId})
- Key states covered: {list}

## Assumptions
- {assumption made where input was ambiguous}

Omit "## Design Reference" when no Figma URL was given, and "## Assumptions" when the request had no genuine ambiguity.

Execution Flow#

Phase 1: Parse
  - Extract any URL (figma.com/design/...) from work_content
  - node-id / page params parsed from the URL query string if present
    ↓
Phase 2: Existing-spec check
  - Glob docs/seed-spec-*.md, read frontmatter/status for LOCKED
  - If found for this domain → treat as primary source of truth (don ' t re-derive from scratch)
    ↓
Phase 3: Design context (only if figma_url present)
  - mcp figma get_metadata / get_design_context / get_screenshot on the node
  - Degrade to text-only (+ warn) if the MCP is unavailable or the link 404s — never throw
    ↓
Phase 4: PM framing (cc-product:pm tables)
  - FR / AC per requirement
  - Scope In/Out
  - Fibonacci Story Point (1/3/5/8), matching `cc-product:pm` →  " Story Point Estimation " 
   - type/scope labels (explicit_options always override)
    ↓
Phase 5: Return PmSpecResult
  - Step 2 uses .title/.body/.labels/.point as-is
  - Step 1 ' s requiresBdd is recomputed from .screenTypes.length  >   0

Degradation Contract (GD-01, consistent with run.md Step 0)#

PM refinement quality is a soft concern — a failure here degrades issue quality, it does not stop the pipeline. This differs from hard gates like the DCM/lint/test/review gates later in /dev:run, which are correctness/safety concerns and do throw.

Non-Interactivity Rule#

• Never call AskUserQuestion or otherwise wait for user input.
• When information is missing and can't be reasonably inferred from work_content + design context + initial_analysis, make the most conservative reasonable assumption and record it verbatim in the assumptions array / issue body — do not silently guess without recording it.
• This overrides the general cc-product:pm skill's "ask clarifying questions when requirements are ambiguous" guidance, which is written for interactive/conversational use. Inside /dev:run, that guidance is replaced by "log the assumption and proceed."

Integration Scenario#

Called from /dev:run Step 1.5#

1. Step 1 produces initial_analysis (keyword-based type/scope/screenType/point)
   ↓
2. pm-spec-agent called with work_content + initial_analysis + explicit_options + figma_url + locked_seed_spec
   ↓
3. PmSpecResult returned
   - analysis.type/scope/point updated (explicit_options win where given)
   - analysis.issueBody = PmSpecResult.body
   ↓
4. Step 2 creates the ZenHub issue using PmSpecResult verbatim

Skipped entirely#

• --skip-pm passed → Step 1.5 does not run; Step 2 uses Step 1's raw keyword result + generateIssueBody(workContent, analysis) as before
• /dev:run {issue_number} (existing-issue path) → Steps 1–3 don't run at all, so this agent is never invoked

Key Rules#

1. Never block on a question — this is an unattended pipeline step, not a chat persona
2. Explicit options always win — --type/--scope/--point passed by the user are never second-guessed
3. LOCKED seed-spec is source of truth — align with it instead of re-deriving requirements when one exists for the domain
4. Degrade, don't throw — missing Figma MCP, unreachable design link, or the agent's own failure all fall back to Step 1's result with a warning, never a hard stop
5. Record assumptions, don't hide them — every non-obvious inference goes into the assumptions array and the issue body, so a human reviewer can catch a wrong guess later
