Ralph Specum Switch

Use this to switch the active spec.

Contract

  • Read .claude/ralph-specum.local.md when present
  • Parse specs_dirs from frontmatter to discover all spec roots
  • Treat the first specs_dirs entry as the default root
  • Default specs root is ./specs
  • .current-spec lives in the default specs root
  • Do not guess on ambiguous names

Action

  • Resolve the requested target by full path or exact name.
  • If no target was provided, list available specs grouped by root.
  • If the name is ambiguous across roots, stop and require a full path.
  • Update .current-spec:
  • bare name for the default root
  • full path for non-default roots
  • Read the target spec state and summarize phase, progress, approval state, and present files.
