Flow Spec

AskUserQuestion with these questions:

1. **What to specify**: Project or feature name + brief description
   - "What system/feature should I specify?"

2. **Actors**: Who interacts with this system?
   - Options: End Users, Developers, Admins, External Services, Other

3. **Key constraints**: What matters most?
   - Options: Performance, Security, Compatibility, Scale
   - (multiSelect: true)

4. **Complexity class**: How complex is this?
   - Clear (well-understood, straightforward)
   - Complicated (multiple parts, but knowable)
   - Complex (emergent behavior, unknowns)

# NLSpec: [Project Name]

## Meta
- Version: 1.0.0
- Author: [human author from user context, or "TBD"]
- Created: [today's date]
- Complexity: [clear | complicated | complex - from Step 1]

## Purpose
[1-3 sentences: what this software does and for whom. Derived from user description + probe research.]

## Actors
- **[Actor 1]**: [Role description and capabilities]
- **[Actor 2]**: [Role description and capabilities]
[Include all actors from Step 1 answers + any discovered in research]

## Behaviors

### B1: [Behavior Name]
- **Trigger**: [What initiates this behavior]
- **Preconditions**: [What must be true before execution]
- **Steps**:
  1. [Step 1]
  2. [Step 2]
- **Postconditions**: [What must be true after execution]
- **Edge Cases**:
  - [Edge case]: [Expected handling]

### B2: [Behavior Name]
- **Trigger**: [What initiates this behavior]
- **Preconditions**: [What must be true before execution]
- **Steps**:
  1. [Step 1]
- **Postconditions**: [What must be true after execution]
- **Edge Cases**:
  - [Edge case]: [Expected handling]

[Add as many behaviors as the research and scope warrant. Aim for 3-7 core behaviors.]

## Constraints
- **Performance**: [Latency, throughput requirements]
- **Security**: [Authentication, authorization, data handling]
- **Compatibility**: [APIs, platforms, browsers, versions]
- **Scale**: [Expected load, data volume, growth projections]
[Populate from Step 1 constraint answers + probe research findings]

## Dependencies
- **External Services**: [APIs, databases, third-party services]
- **Libraries/Frameworks**: [Required packages, minimum versions]

## Acceptance Definition
- **Satisfaction Target**: [0.0-1.0, e.g., 0.90 - based on complexity class]
- **Critical Behaviors**: [Which behaviors must achieve 1.0 satisfaction]
