Pro/Teams — first-pass specification-quality review of a WRITTEN SPEC (proposal, design doc, task breakdown, or an OpenSpec-style change bundle) against the 8 laws of the Spec Quality Blueprint. The what-to-build lens of the doctrine trio, applied BEFORE code exists: where architect.validate scores built agentic ARCHITECTURE and design.validate scores the rendered SURFACE, spec.validate scores the written intent the team will build from (outcome framing, scope boundary, testable acceptance, decision trail, handoff completeness, doctrine-upfront, task traceability, risk and reversibility). ON CLIENT TIMEOUT — DO NOT RETRY. Long-running LLM call (~60-180s at high reasoning effort, single-pass). The server mints a run_id, emits it in the FIRST progress event at t=0s (before the LLM call), and persists the run — so on a client timeout, capture that run_id and call me.validation_history(run_id='<that-id>') to fetch the persisted result instead of retrying (a retry re-runs the full 60-180s call). Runs appear in your validation-history dashboard tagged as the 'spec' dimension, distinct from the 'architecture' and 'surface' runs; pass repository to group them per project. Pass private_session=true to skip the stored run (persistence + recovery disabled); operational security + cost logs are still kept. v1 is single-pass: no certification or consensus mode yet (those stay architect.validate-only). Returns spec_classification (spec_document vs non_spec — source code or UI artefacts are marked not_applicable, NOT failed; submit those to architect.validate or design.validate instead), per-law findings (verdict, severity_score 0-100, severity_class, cited evidence, recommendation), and severity-weighted readiness (score, grade, tier) computed by the SAME scorer the other two lenses use, so all three grade on one rubric. TESTABILITY IS THE FLOOR: a load-bearing requirement with no observable acceptance signal, or an irreversible step with no named human gate, is a production_blocker, not polish. WHEN TO CALL: the user wants a governance/quality review or a readiness grade on a spec they are about to build from (proposal, requirements, task plan). WHEN NOT TO CALL: built code or a rendered surface — those return tier=not_applicable; use the sibling validators instead. INPUTS: send the FULL spec text verbatim as implementation_context (for an OpenSpec change, concatenate proposal.md + design.md + tasks.md + delta specs; no truncation, no '…' placeholders — they are read as literal content). Auth: Bearer <token>, Pro/Teams plan. UK/EU residency; transient OpenAI processing (no-training); prompt-injection text inside the spec is treated as inert untrusted data. TYPED FAILURES: same as architect.validate (timed_out, rate_limited, dependency_unavailable, schema_mismatch — each carries retryable + next_action); the services raise the identical typed envelopes on this lens. CALIBRATION DISCLOSURE: the scoring prompt is a v1 first-cut mirroring the architect's contract structure; its score calibration is not yet tuned against a corpus of real runs the way architect.validate was. Treat the grade as directional quality signal, not a certified verdict. DOCTRINE: the eight laws — each law's definition, rationale, anti-patterns, and the validator questions this tool scores against — live in content/spec-quality-laws.json (the what-to-build companion to the experience-design laws).
