description: Analyze a GitHub issue and create a detailed technical specification

Please analyze GitHub issue #$ARGUMENTS and create a technical specification.
Follow these steps:
1. Check if the issue is already loaded:
- Look for the issue file in `./specs/issues/` folder
- File naming pattern: `<number-padded-to-3-digits>-<kebab-case-title>.md`
- If not found, fetch the issue details from GitHub (see step 2)
2. Fetch the issue details (if not already loaded):
- Read `.claude/commands/load-issues.md` to understand how to fetch issue details
- Save the issue file following the load-issues.md format
3. Understand the requirements thoroughly
4. Review related code and project structure
5. Create a technical specification with the format below
# Technical Specification for Issue #$ARGUMENTS
## Issue Summary
- Title: [Issue title from GitHub]
- Description: [Brief description from issue]
- Labels: [Labels from issue]
- Priority: [High/Medium/Low based on issue content]
## Problem Statement
[1-2 paragraphs explaining the problem]
## Technical Approach
[Detailed technical approach]
## Implementation Plan
1. [Step 1]
2. [Step 2]
3. [Step 3]
## Test Plan
1. Unit Tests:
- [test scenario]
2. Component Tests:
- [test scenario]
3. Integration Tests:
- [test scenario]
## Files to Modify
- [file path]: [changes]
## Files to Create
- [file path]: [purpose]
## Existing Utilities to Leverage
- [utility name/path]: [purpose]
## Success Criteria
- [ ] [criterion 1]
- [ ] [criterion 2]
## Out of Scope
- [item 1]
- [item 2]
Remember to follow our strict TDD principles, KISS approach, and 300-line file limit.
IMPORTANT: After completing your analysis, SAVE the full technical specification to:
`./specs/issues/<number-padded-to-3-digits>-<kebab-case-title>.specs.md`
For example, for issue #7 with title "Make code review trigger on any *.SQL and .sh file changes", save to:
`./specs/issues/007-make-code-review-trigger-on-sql-sh-changes.specs.md`
After saving, provide a brief summary to the user confirming:
- Issue number and title analyzed
- File path where the specification was saved
- Key highlights from the specification (2-3 bullet points)
