What does SPARV stand for?

SPARV is an acronym for the five phases of the workflow: Specify, Plan, Act, Review, and Vault.

What happens during the Vault phase?

The Vault phase archives the session history and updates a central knowledge base with reusable patterns, architectural decisions, and 'gotchas' discovered during the task.

What is EHRB detection?

Explicit High-Risk Behavior (EHRB) detection identifies actions involving production data, sensitive APIs, or destructive commands and requires manual user approval.

Why does SPARV use a 2-action save rule?

By appending to a journal every two tool calls, SPARV ensures that Claude's internal logic and progress are documented in external memory, preventing context loss.

How does the 10-point Specify Gate work?

It evaluates requirements across five dimensions: Value, Scope, Acceptance, Boundaries, and Risk. A task must score at least 9 out of 10 to proceed to the planning phase.

Productivity & Workflow

Implements a rigorous 5-phase execution framework to ensure verifiable software delivery through structured specification and risk management.

SPARV (Specify-Plan-Act-Review-Vault) is a high-reliability workflow skill for Claude Code designed to eliminate ambiguity and technical debt. It enforces a strict 10-point specification gate before any code is written, maintains a persistent journal via 2-action saves, and provides built-in safety through EHRB risk detection and a 3-failure protocol. By formalizing the transition from requirements to archived knowledge, SPARV ensures that complex tasks are completed with verifiable quality and documented architectural decisions, making it ideal for mission-critical development where precision is paramount.

Key Features

01Knowledge Base (Vault) maintenance to capture architectural decisions and code patterns.

02EHRB (Explicit High-Risk Behavior) detection for sensitive or destructive operations.

03Automated journaling with a 2-action save rule for persistent external memory.

043-Failure Protocol to prevent infinite loops and escalate blockers to the user.

0510-Point Specify Gate to ensure requirements meet quality benchmarks before execution.
