Min Specs
Strip your rules down to the bone. What absolutely must stay?
Identify only the absolute must-dos and must-not-dos for achieving a purpose. Start with a complete list of rules, then ruthlessly drop anything that could be broken without losing the purpose.

How to use Min Specs
Generate the full Max Spec list alone (1 min) then in small groups (5 min). Test each rule: "If we broke this, could we still achieve our purpose?" — drop every rule that passes the test (15 min, repeat if needed). Compare across small groups and consolidate to the shortest shared list (15 min).
