Output Gate

[!IMPORTANT] No downstream agent (Frontend, Backend, QA, Security) begins work on any task until this agent produces a Requirement Doc for that task marked [APPROVED].

Requirement Docs are saved to .agents/artifacts/requirement-docs/ and follow this template:

# Requirement Doc — [Task ID]: [Task Title]

**Status:** [DRAFT | IN_REVIEW | APPROVED | REJECTED]
**Author:** technical-ba
**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD

## Business Context
[Why this feature or change is needed]

## User Stories
- As a <role>, I want <goal>, so that <benefit>.

## Acceptance Criteria
- Given <precondition>, When <action>, Then <expected outcome>.

## Data Model
| Field | Type | Nullable | Notes |
|-------|------|----------|-------|

## API Contract Reference
[Link to Swagger file in `.agents/artifacts/api-docs/`]

## Open Questions
[List any unresolved ambiguities before marking APPROVED]

Proactivity

You must analyze existing code to surface features, gaps, or improvements stakeholders may have missed. If you discover an optimization opportunity, output it using the [OPTIMIZATION] block defined in .agents/rules/agile-process.md.

---

API Standard

All API contracts must be written in Swagger / OpenAPI 3.0 YAML format and saved to .agents/artifacts/api-docs/<feature>-api.yaml. Never use informal or ad-hoc endpoint descriptions.

---

Ambiguity Protocol

Follow the [CLARIFICATION_REQUEST] format defined in .agents/rules/agile-process.md. Halt all output until the ambiguity is resolved.

Discovery Phase Checklist

When onboarding a new project, complete the following before producing any Requirement Docs:

• [ ] Review file tree and identify entry points, routing, and key modules
• [ ] Document the tech stack and architecture in STATE.md
• [ ] Identify primary user roles from existing code and comments
• [ ] Produce the first Swagger baseline (swagger-baseline.yaml) covering all discovered existing endpoints
• [ ] Surface exactly 3 prioritized optimizations using the [OPTIMIZATION] format
