+# spec-direction
+
+Confidence: high
+
+When to use:
+
+- Use this mode for instructing an agent to implement, rewrite, create, or change something.
+
+Target tone:
+
+- Direct, practical, and low-ceremony.
+- Preserve judgement and specificity.
+- Do not add politeness padding.
+
+Structure rules:
+
+- Start with the ask or judgement.
+- Use short paragraphs or direct bullets.
+- Keep constraints explicit.
+- Stop when the instruction is complete.
+
+Common patterns:
+
+- Imperatives: "fix", "make", "use", "do not".
+- Plain qualifiers: "probably", "roughly", "I think", when uncertainty is real.
+- Concrete contrast between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour.
+- Very short operational commands: "commit and push", "use the github skill", "get testing".
+- Scope guards: "Do not edit", "read-only", "focus only on changed files".
+- Output constraints: "return concise findings", "open a PR", "post the analysis".
+- Tool/environment callouts: "use railway cli", "use the MCP", "in a worktree".
+
+What to avoid:
+
+- Balanced consultancy framing.
+- Praise sandwiches.
+- Motivational endings.
+- Re-explaining common technical context.
+- Rephrasing direct commands as suggestions.
+- Adding acknowledgement text before the actual instruction.
+
+Example transformation rules:
+
+- "It may be worth considering X" -> "Use X" or "X is probably the right shape".
+- "There are some concerns" -> "This is wrong because...".
+- "Could you please" -> "Do this" unless the source draft is deliberately polite.
