## Summary - add Spec 212 planning artifacts for test authoring constitution and review guardrails - expand `TEST-GOV-001` and sync the SpecKit spec/plan/tasks/checklist templates plus contributor guidance - define the canonical review checklist outcomes and record low-impact and higher-cost validation examples ## Validation - docs/workflow only; no runtime Pest or Sail test lanes were run - validation is recorded in `specs/212-test-authoring-guardrails/spec.md` and `specs/212-test-authoring-guardrails/quickstart.md` Co-authored-by: Ahmed Darrazi <ahmed.darrazi@live.de> Reviewed-on: #245

# `.specify/` (Tooling)
|
|
|
|
This folder contains **SpecKit tooling** (templates, scripts, constitution, etc.).
|
|
|
|
## Important
|
|
|
|
- **Do not** create new feature specs in `.specify/spec.md`, `.specify/plan.md`, `.specify/tasks.md`.
|
|
- Active feature specs live under `specs/<NNN>-<slug>/`:
|
|
- `spec.md`
|
|
- `plan.md`
|
|
- `tasks.md`
|
|
- `checklists/requirements.md`
|
|
- Runtime-changing or test-affecting work MUST carry actual test-purpose classification (`Unit`, `Feature`, `Heavy-Governance`, `Browser`), affected lanes, fixture/default cost risks, heavy-family changes, escalation decisions, and minimal validation commands through the active `spec.md`, `plan.md`, and `tasks.md`.
|
|
- Review-oriented checklists MUST surface lane fit, hidden defaults, heavy-family visibility, and runtime-budget follow-up before merge; lane upkeep belongs to the feature, not to a later cleanup pass.
|
|
|
|
## Review Entry Point
|
|
|
|
Use the active feature's `spec.md`, `plan.md`, and `tasks.md` together with the generated checklist based on `.specify/templates/checklist-template.md`.
|
|
|
|
1. Confirm the spec names the affected validation lane(s) or a deliberate `N/A`, the test family impact, setup-cost impact, reviewer handoff, and any escalation outcome.
|
|
2. Confirm the plan turns that into changed test types, narrowest proving commands, helper/default widening checks, and the note target for budget or trend drift.
|
|
3. Apply the checklist and end with one explicit outcome: `keep`, `split`, `document-in-feature`, `follow-up-spec`, or `reject-or-split`.
|
|
|
|
## Low-Impact Rule
|
|
|
|
- Docs-only or template-only work may answer `N/A` or `none`.
|
|
- Do not force fake lane prose when no runtime or suite impact exists.
|
|
|
|
## Escalation Rule
|
|
|
|
- Use `document-in-feature` for contained cost or drift that belongs in the active feature.
|
|
- Use `follow-up-spec` only for recurring pain or structural lane or family changes.
|
|
- Use `reject-or-split` when hidden test cost or wrong-lane scope is still unresolved.

The files `.specify/spec.md`, `.specify/plan.md`, `.specify/tasks.md` may exist as legacy references only.
