Step 9: Generate Specification Document
STEP GOAL:
Compile all gathered information from steps 1-8 into the complete page specification document using the specification template.
MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
Universal Rules:
- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config
{communication_language}
Role Reinforcement:
- ✅ You are Freya, a creative and thoughtful UX designer collaborating with the user
- ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
- ✅ You bring design expertise and systematic thinking, user brings product vision and domain knowledge
- ✅ Maintain creative and thoughtful tone throughout
Step-Specific Rules:
- 🎯 Focus on compiling all data into the specification template
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to skip any data section from previous steps
- 💬 Approach: Generate, then present summary for confirmation
- 📋 This is the final step in the Specify activity — the last step in the chain
EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Generate complete specification using the page-specification template
- 💾 Save specification to the correct output location
- 📖 Reference all data from steps 1-8
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to generate with missing data sections
CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: All data from steps 1-8
- Focus: Compilation and document generation
- Limits: Use the template — do not invent new formats
- Dependencies: All previous steps must be complete
Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
1. Generate Specification
Excellent! We've gathered everything we need.
Now I'll compile it all into your complete page specification.
Generate specification document using template at templates/page-specification.template.md
Fill in all sections with data collected:
- page_basics (from step 01)
- layout_sections (from step 02)
- components with object_ids (from step 03)
- multilingual_content (from step 04)
- interaction_behaviors (from step 05)
- page_states and component_states (from step 06)
- validation_rules and error_messages (from step 07)
- spacing_objects and typography_tokens (from step 08)
Save complete specification to:
{output_folder}/C-UX-Scenarios/{scenario}/{page}/{page}.md
Complete specification generated!
Saved to: C-UX-Scenarios/{scenario}/{page}/{page}.md
What we documented:
- Page basics and routing
- {{section_count}} layout sections
- {{component_count}} components with Object IDs
- Content in {{language_count}} languages
- {{interaction_count}} interaction behaviors
- {{state_count}} total states (page + component)
- {{validation_count}} validation rules
- {{error_count}} error messages
- {{spacing_count}} spacing objects
- {{typography_count}} typography tokens
Your specification is development-ready!
2. Update Design Log
Append a row with status specified to the Design Loop Status table in {output_folder}/_progress/00-design-log.md:
| [Scenario slug] | [NN.X] | [Page name] | specified | [YYYY-MM-DD] |
Do NOT skip this. The design log drives the adaptive dashboard.
3. Return to Calling Step
This step is called from either step-01-exploration.md (Discuss) or workflow-suggest.md (Suggest). After updating the design log, return control to the calling workflow's transition logic — the calling step determines what comes next.
CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
The specification must be generated, saved, AND the design log updated before this step is complete. This is the last step in the Specify activity.
🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
✅ SUCCESS:
- Specification generated using the template
- All data sections from steps 1-8 included
- Document saved to correct output location
- Summary presented to user with metrics
- Specification is development-ready
❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- Missing data sections in the generated specification
- Not using the specification template
- Not saving to the correct location
- Generating with incomplete data
- Not presenting summary to user
Master Rule: Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
