### ✅ Can Generate Useful New Specs
- `/generate-spec` with 4 modes (novel/variant/evolution/hybrid)
- Pattern discovery from 10+ iterations
- Structure-oriented spec design
- Validation through test generation
- Creates usable specifications

### ✅ Demonstrates Advanced Meta-Level Capabilities
- Self-analysis (performance monitoring)
