# spk-mission-specify

Use this skill when creating or revising a mission specification.

## Flow

1. Run or invoke `/spec-kitty.specify` for the feature.
2. Capture the user's concrete goal, constraints, non-goals, and success
   criteria.
3. Keep unresolved product decisions explicit instead of hiding them in plan
   details.
4. If terminology matters, route to `spk-doctrine-glossary`.
5. If governance affects scope, route to `spk-doctrine-charter`.

## Output Standard

The spec should be good enough for `/spec-kitty.plan` to derive architecture
and work packages without inventing the product intent.
