Speclet Consolidate Skill

Merge accepted Council feedback into a spec-ready draft.md without copying the full Council Review content.

What I Do

• Read .speclet/draft.md and .speclet/council-summary.md
• Apply Accepted council decisions into the base draft
• Support explicit overrides for accept/reject/defer decisions and story removal
• Update .speclet/council-summary.md with final status
• Keep review artifacts separate (never append to draft.md)

When to Use Me

Use this after running speclet-council and before speclet-spec:

Use the speclet-consolidate skill

Inputs

• .speclet/draft.md (required unless --target-draft or activeTicket is used)
• .speclet/council-summary.md (required)
• .speclet/council-session.md (optional)
• Overrides (optional): --accept, --reject, --defer, --exclude-story, --target-draft

Overrides

Supported overrides:

• --accept C2,C4
• --reject C3
• --defer C5
• --exclude-story STORY-3
• --target-draft path/to/draft.md

If overrides conflict with council-summary.md, overrides win.

Ticket Workflow Notes

• When activeTicket is set, consolidation should target .speclet/tickets/<activeTicket>/draft.md by default.
• Use --target-draft to override the ticket path explicitly when needed.

Your Task

Step 1: Validate Inputs

• Ensure council-summary.md exists
• Resolve the draft path in this order:
  1. If --target-draft is provided, use that file
  2. If activeTicket is configured, use .speclet/tickets/<activeTicket>/draft.md
  3. Otherwise, use .speclet/draft.md
• Ensure the resolved draft exists before proceeding

Step 2: Parse Council Summary

• Extract decisions and statuses
• Build a list of Accepted items to apply
• Apply overrides (accept/reject/defer)

Step 3: Apply Accepted Changes

• Update draft scope, stories, or acceptance criteria based on accepted decisions
• If --exclude-story is set, remove the story from the draft and note it in decisions
• Add or update a Council Decisions block in the draft (summary only)

Step 4: Update Council Summary

• Append the resolved status (Accepted/Rejected/Deferred) for each item
• Record overrides used

Step 5: Output

• Updated draft.md (spec-ready)
• Updated council-summary.md

Output Format

Council Decisions Block (in draft)

## Council Decisions

- Accepted: C1, C3
- Rejected: C2
- Deferred: C4
- Overrides: --exclude-story STORY-3

Notes

• This skill never writes the full review into draft.md.
• Use speclet-spec immediately after consolidation.
