Any helpful ideas?

1♣ - 1♦
1♠: Forcing w/4+♠

Now:
1N= second neg. (0-5). How to cont.?
2♣=0-2♠, denies 5♥ (6-8). How to cont.?
2♦=Exactly 3♠ (6-8). How to cont.?
2♥=5♥, denies 3♠ (6-8). How to cont.?
3♣/♦/♥=6-crd, denies 3♠ (6-8). Better suggestions?

So 1S is not limited (still 16-37)? Can it have a longer minor no matter the strength? I used to play 1♠ as 16--19 with 4+ spades and then we used the following cont:

Pass = Bad hand
1NT = Relay, does not promise extras
2CDH = Natural, about 5--7
2S = 4 card support, about 3--7
Higher = 4 spades, max and some shape

1C--1D; 1S--1NT;
2C = 5+ spades
2D = 4 spades, 5+ diamonds
2H = 4 spades, 5+ hearts
2S = 4 spades, 5+ clubs
2NT+ = We used this for shapely hands. In your case if 1S is unlimited you could make 2C forcing (Gazzilli like) and perhaps 2NT+ could be hands with extras and 5+ minor?

1C--1D; 1S--1NT; 2C---
2D = Relay, promises some extras
...2H = 4+ hearts, NF
...2S = 6+ spades, NF
...2N = Natural
...3CD = Natural
...3H = 4+ hearts, GF
...2S = 6+ spades, GF
2H = Natural, weak
2S = Preference, weak
2N = Natural, some extras
3S = INV with 3 spades

Lots of old threads on this. Here's one where I was working on this. It probably has some wrong ideas of mine but I also quoted from some book on the subject. Good luck

In Mavarako, 1H/1S over 1D allow partner to pass with 0-3HCP. Over 1H, 1S is flip flop (forcing nt) and 1NT is 5 Spades. (With 4-4, opener bids 1S over 1D. The forcing Spade/forcing NT suggest no fit and some points 3-6. New suits are not forcing. (Except in the case of Mavarako 2D shows a positive response). In Mvarako over 1C/1D, 2D is a forcing trigger 20+HCP. A semi-positive response is 7-10HCP. I can post the Mavarako structure if you wish.
