e5f337b89e fix(skills): plans reference the spec instead of restating it — end to end (SUP-333 A)
Consolidates the reference-discipline change with every consumer of it,
so this PR is independently mergeable (previously split across two
stacked PRs whose intermediate state left the SDD spec reviewer blind).

writing-plans: plans reference the spec — never restate, paraphrase,
or summarize it; spec owns WHAT/WHY, plan owns HOW; cite by path in
the header (**Spec:** template line) and by section where a task needs
context; No Placeholders repetition stays intra-plan; no-spec branch
scoped to conversational-requirements-only (eval-caught: an agent used
an unscoped no-spec branch to skip writing the spec entirely).

brainstorming: spec path loophole closed (claude shortened
docs/superpowers/specs/ to docs/specs/, documented run); an existing
differently-named docs dir is not a "user preference".

subagent-driven-development: Spec Context section — the controller
reads the plan-cited spec and pastes cited sections into implementer
and spec-reviewer prompts; the spec reviewer's diff-only rule gets a
spec-document exception. Without this, reference discipline starves
the pipeline of requirements.

executing-plans: Step 1 reads the spec the plan cites (the
non-subagent path; plans are no longer self-contained).

Eval evidence (quorum, full-stack text): cost-spec-plan-duplication
claude 3/3 pass (RED: 5/5 agents failed), codex pass, pi pass (the
683-line duplication RED agent); sdd-spec-context-consumed functional
pass with deterministic dispatch-prompt check;
writing-plans-no-spec-conversational 2/2 pass;
triggering-writing-plans canary 3/3.

**Core principle:** Fresh subagent per task + two-stage review (spec then quality) = high quality, fast iteration
**Proportionality:** Review fanout scales with the change. When the entire plan is one trivial, fully-specified mechanical change — a log statement, a typo fix, a constant bump with no security or behavioral consequences — implement it directly (or with a single implementer subagent), verify per superpowers:verification-before-completion (run the relevant command, confirm output), commit, and skip all review subagents, including the final reviewer: three review dispatches cost more than a one-line diff. Trivial is a property of the diff — it changes no logic, no control flow, and nothing security-relevant — not of the plan's self-description. Any doubt means not trivial: run the full pipeline. Within a multi-task plan, never skip reviews, regardless of task size.
**Continuous execution:** Do not pause to check in with your human partner between tasks. Execute all tasks from the plan without stopping. The only reasons to stop are: BLOCKED status you cannot resolve, ambiguity that genuinely prevents progress, or all tasks complete. "Should I continue?" prompts and progress summaries waste their time — they asked you to execute the plan, so execute it.

**Never:**
- Start implementation on main/master branch without explicit user consent
- Skip reviews — sole exception: a plan that is entirely one trivial change (see Proportionality)
- Skip reviews (spec compliance OR code quality)
- Proceed with unfixed issues
- Dispatch multiple implementation subagents in parallel (conflicts)
- Make subagent read plan file (provide full text instead)
