# Specflow: Spec Editor
## Purpose
This skill executes spec changes. Every other Specflow skill either diagnoses, proposes, or
routes — this one actually opens spec files, modifies them, and ensures the spec tree stays
coherent afterward.
**The editor is the only skill that writes to `.specflow/specs/` and `.specflow/specs-business/`.** Other skills
read the spec tree; this one modifies it. This single point of mutation makes it possible to
enforce consistency rules (coherence check, link integrity, overview freshness) in one place.
## When to Use
This skill activates after a change has been classified and approved. It receives instructions
from one of these sources:
| Source | What it provides | Editor's job |
|--------|-----------------|-------------|
| **Change-router** | Classified request (Category 3-5) with affected specs identified | Execute the spec modification |
| **specflow-bugs** | Change plan with specific rule/criterion edits | Apply the plan to the spec files |
| **specflow-ingest** | Change manifest with drafted specs and modifications | Create/edit specs per the manifest |
| **Human directly** | "Add a rule to this spec", "create a new spec for X" | Interpret and execute |
## Cortex Awareness
When the project has a `.cortex/` directory:
- **Check `governed_by:` before editing.** When a dev spec carries `governed_by:`
(compass rule IDs, design §8.4 bridge 1), read the referenced
`.cortex/compass/rules/R-*.md` files before modifying the spec — an e
