To translate PRD requirements into a technical specification, you provide the PRD outline to generate a TechSpec draft. This process maps business goals to concrete technical components and documents architecture decisions through interactive clarification.

Generating Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) from PRDs involves an interactive clarification workflow that extracts technical requirements. The process creates ADRs and links them directly within a drafted TechSpec using a canonical template.

You need a TechSpec for software architecture design when a PRD exists and requires a documented technical plan. It is used specifically to guide architecture decisions and map PRD goals to technical components, not for direct code implementation.

You cannot use this approach to create a PRD or break down development tasks. It is designed exclusively for translating existing PRD business requirements into implementation designs and documenting technical architecture decisions.

Interactive technical clarification works by extracting technical requirements from an existing PRD during the drafting process. It enables dynamic question-and-answer sessions to capture design decisions, which are then formatted into ADRs and a canonical TechSpec template.

This TechSpec generation process requires no external dependencies or components to function. You simply provide an existing PRD outline or file, and the interactive workflow handles the technical requirement extraction and ADR indexing natively.
