This directory contains technical specifications and implementation plans created during feature development.

The specs folder serves as a workspace for planning and documenting features before and during implementation. These documents:

• Capture the initial thinking and planning for features
• Provide a structured approach to complex implementations
• Create a historical record of design decisions
• Help maintain context when revisiting code in the future

1. Creation: When starting a significant feature, create a spec document with the format:

   [timestamp]-[feature-name].md
   

   Where timestamp is in YYYYMMDDThhmmss format. Helper

    # Creates new file in ./spec/ 
    make spec-feature-name

2. Usage: The spec typically includes:

   • Problem statement
   • Proposed solution
   • Implementation plan with todo items
   • Technical considerations
   • Review/summary of changes made

3. Lifecycle:

   • Specs are committed alongside major features
   • They provide valuable context in git history
   • May be periodically cleaned up, but often kept for reference
   • Particularly useful when understanding why certain decisions were made

This is a working directory - not all features require specs, and the level of detail varies based on complexity. The primary value is in capturing the "why" behind implementations for future reference.
