Stayman and invite. If it were IMPs I'd just bid game myself.

Stayman and bid game. We don't really care whether pard is min or max here -- we just need partner to have fitting cards such as the A or J+AK

Game would be great if partner had all of his values in our suits. Oh, wait - he bid 1NT over 1. He promised club values.

I play double-barrelled Stayman in response to partner's overcall of 1NT. So I would bid 2 - less than game forcing values, asking for a 4 card major. If partner bids 2 or 2, I bid 3. I am not going to move to game on a 4-3 heart fit.

Of course, if partner has 4 spades, I will bid the spade game.

Stayman, passing a red suit response, and raising spades to game.
