To turn vague task descriptions into precise, testable specifications, you need structured requirements elicitation that enforces measurable criteria, clear scope boundaries, and stakeholder alignment. This process translates speculative ideas into concrete functional and non-functional requirements suitable for engineering and QA.

Drafting acceptance criteria aligned with business goals requires a stage-based discovery process that identifies dependencies, boundaries, and edge cases. This approach prevents scope creep by producing measurable criteria matched directly to stakeholder needs within a structured specification document.

Preventing scope creep during requirements elicitation involves identifying clear scope boundaries, non-functional constraints, and edge cases early. By capturing context and open questions in a dedicated scratchpad, teams ensure traceability and maintain strict alignment on functional requirements throughout product phases.

Yes, you can provide a path to a markdown task file to generate a specification ready for planning. The agent reads the task file, performs stage-based discovery on the raw input, and returns a complete, testable specification consolidating business context and constraints.

Requirements elicitation can process vague inputs, but achieving testable specifications requires clarifying stakeholder needs and open questions. The workflow captures missing context and constraints to enforce measurable criteria, ensuring the final structured output aligns with actual business goals.
