# Spec authoring task

[ProtocolWarden]

Auto-generated by Operations Center execution.

Goal

Spec authoring task

Write a focused improvement-campaign spec at docs/specs/queue-drain-20260530T110727.md in this repository (OperationsCenter). The spec drives a multi-task Plane campaign; keep its goals concrete and bounded.

Required output

Create exactly one file: docs/specs/queue-drain-20260530T110727.md. Do not modify any other file.

The first line of the file MUST be an HTML comment recording provenance:
<!-- generated_by_run: c81cd5c1-6fe3-40c1-adf5-f63adc4f191c -->

Then a YAML front-matter block in this exact format:

---
campaign_id: <UUID v4 you generate>
slug: queue-drain-20260530T110727
phases:
  - implement
  - test
  - improve
repos:
  - <one repo from the Available Repos list below>
area_keywords:
  - <directory prefix or topic keyword>
status: active
created_at: <ISO 8601 UTC timestamp>
---

Then markdown sections:

• ## Overview (2-3 sentences)
• ## Goals (numbered list of 2-4 concrete, bounded tasks; each completable in one executor run under 1 hour)
• ## Constraints (approach decisions, allowed paths, things to avoid)
• ## Success Criteria (how to know it is done)

Available Repos

• Custodian
• CxRP
• OperationsCenter
• OperatorConsole
• PlatformDeployment
• SwitchBoard
• VideoFoundry
