Your agreements amount to "WJ05".

1♣-1♦-(X)-1♠ shows

a. 12+ with 4+ spades
b. 18+ with 5+ spades
c. other?

As I understand WJ05 you should pass with 12-14, showing 0-3 cards in ♦ by implication, since in my opinion the weak variant of 1♣ in WJ05 denies 4 or more cards in ♦.
Opener's pass is strictly strength denying not showing tolerance for a ♦ contract.
If LHO passes, partner can SOS RDBL if he wants opener to improve the contract.

1♠ in second position should deny the weak variant, but does not show necessarily 18+. Opener could also have 4 cards in ♠ with longer ♣ and 15-17
