Your partner opens, say, 1♦ and your RHO overcalls 2♦ showing 5-5 in spades and another (this is a surprisingly popular convention in Germany). What do your bids mean now?

Simple default advances:

DBL: T/O for ♠
2♥: F1 5+ cards
2♠: inv+ support
2NT: invitational with stopper
3♣: FG 5+♣
3♦: competitive
3♥/♠: Splinter

A bit more complicated agreement:
DBL: T/O for ♠ or FG 5♥
2♥: NF
2♠: inv+ 5+♣
2NT: invitational with stopper
3♣: inv+ support
3♦: competitive
3♥: FG 6+♥
3♠: Splinter
