My agreements are that 1S is takeout and double is power here; I
probably have to wait and bid spades on the back side; the hand seems
too strong for an offense-only 3S bid, and too scary for a 4S bid
solo.
If I had different (better?) agreements, obviously I'd do whatever
they called for.

If you played that (1C) P (1S) 2S is spades, then assumedly (1C) P (1H xfr
to S) 1S would also be spades. Admittedly, the 1C opening is not a "club
suit" so perhaps this is not the same situation as when the opponents
have
"bid two suits".
