+You have the SpecForge plugin loaded. SpecForge is a spec-driven development toolkit that turns requirements into sprint-ready work following IEEE 830 / ISO 29148 standards.
+
+## Available Slash Commands
+
+| Command | Usage | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `/new-spec` | `/new-spec <type> <name>` | Create a spec from template (object, usecase, screen, businessrule, actor, workflow, nfr, etc.) |
+| `/new-epic` | `/new-epic <UC code>` | Generate an epic from a use case |
+| `/new-story` | `/new-story <EPIC code> <name>` | Create a user story with spec traceability |
+| `/new-sprint` | `/new-sprint <number> <REL code>` | Create a sprint plan from ready stories |
+| `/meeting-note` | `/meeting-note <subject>` | Capture meeting notes with UR extraction |
+| `/check-traceability` | `/check-traceability [scope]` | Scan for orphans and coverage gaps |
+| `/phase-delta` | `/phase-delta <spec code>` | Create a Phase 2+ delta for an approved spec |
+| `/change-request` | `/change-request <title>` | Log a formal change request |
+| `/impact-analysis` | `/impact-analysis <CR code>` | Run blast-radius analysis on a CR |
+| `/apply-change` | `/apply-change <CR code>` | Execute an approved change request |
+
+## Auto-Triggering Skills
+
+These activate automatically based on what you are doing — you do not need to invoke them manually:
+
+- **spec-writer** — activates when writing or editing any specification document
+- **requirement-decomposer** — activates when decomposing specs into epics, stories, or sprints
+- **traceability-checker** — activates when verifying cross-references or coverage
+
+## Available Agents
+
+Invoke these for complex multi-step tasks:
+
+- **spec-reviewer** — IEEE 830 / ISO 29148 quality review with scored report
+- **decomposition-agent** — auto-decompose a use case into an epic + user stories
+- **traceability-agent** — build or validate the full Requirements Traceability Matrix
+- **change-impact-agent** — autonomous blast-radius analysis for a change request
+
+## Key Rules (Always Follow)
+
+1. **Never edit Approved specs directly** — always use `/phase-delta <spec code>` to create a Phase 2 delta. Every change must trace to a CR code.
+2. **Naming conventions** — O<NN>_, UC<NNNN>_, S<NNNN>_, BR<NNNN>_, ACT<NNNN>_, WF<NNNN>_, ST<NNNN>_, PM<NNNN>_, NFR<NNNN>_, EPIC-NNNN_, US-NNNN_, SPR-NNNN_
+3. **Spec output directory** — write all generated spec artifacts to `docs/`
+4. **Templates** — always copy from `templates/` when creating new specs; never create from scratch
+5. **Traceability** — every user story must trace back to at least one SRS artifact (UC, Object, Screen, BR, etc.)
