Get Current Spec

Determine the current working specification through a three-tier priority system that checks user input first, then progress.yml, and finally prompts for user selection.

Priority Resolution System

User input - Parse the message for spec references (highest priority)
progress.yml - Read from .claude/spec-kit/memory/progress.yml
User selection - Prompt user to select from available specs

Instructions

Step 1: Parse User Input for Spec References

Check if the user mentioned a specific spec:

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/dist/cli.js list-features

Look for these patterns in user input:

Full spec ID: "001-feature-name"
Spec number: "001", "002", "spec 001"
Feature name: "user-auth", "work on user-auth"
Feature reference: "feature 002"

When a match is found:

Extract the spec ID (format: NNN-feature-name)
Call set-current-spec skill to update progress.yml
Proceed to output

Step 2: Read progress.yml

When no spec found in user input, read the stored current spec:

cat .claude/spec-kit/memory/progress.yml

Parse the currentSpec field (format: NNN-feature-name).

When currentSpec exists and its directory exists at .claude/spec-kit/specs/{spec-id}/:

Use that spec
Proceed to output

Step 3: Prompt User Selection

When no spec found in input AND no valid currentSpec in progress.yml:

List available specs:

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/dist/cli.js list-features

Use AskUserQuestion to present options and let user select
Call set-current-spec skill with selected spec ID

Output Format

Provide the resolved spec context:

Current Spec: {NNN}-{feature-name}
Feature Number: {NNN}
Feature Name: {feature-name}
Directory: .claude/spec-kit/specs/{NNN}-{feature-name}/
Source: {user input | progress.yml | user selection}

Usage Notes

Always attempt user input parsing first before checking progress.yml
Validate that spec directory exists before using
Update progress.yml when user specifies a different spec
Called by all spec-kit commands that need context (plan, tasks, implement, clarify)
