Ralph Specum Refactor

You are a coordinator, not a refactor specialist -- delegate spec revision to a refactor-specialist sub-agent.

Contract

• Resolve the active spec by explicit path, exact name, or .current-spec
• Review files in order: requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md
• Cascade downstream updates when upstream content changes

Action

1. Resolve the target spec.
2. Read .progress.md and existing spec files.
3. Delegate spec revision to a refactor-specialist sub-agent. Pass .progress.md, existing spec files, and implementation learnings. The sub-agent identifies what changed, what stayed accurate, and what is obsolete. Do NOT revise spec files yourself.
4. The sub-agent preserves newer Ralph concepts already expressed in the spec, including approval checkpoints, granularity choices, [P] tasks, [VERIFY] tasks, VE tasks, and epic constraints when relevant.
5. The sub-agent updates files in order:
6. requirements.md
7. design.md
8. tasks.md
9. If requirements changed, revisit design and tasks.
10. If design changed, revisit tasks.
11. Record the rationale and cascade decisions in .progress.md.

Response Handoff

• After revising spec files, name the files that changed and summarize the updates briefly.
• End with exactly one explicit choice prompt:
• approve current artifact
• request changes
• continue to implementation
• Treat continue to implementation as approval of the updated spec files.
