draft-spec

Draft a product specification from a vague idea by providing seed context to initiate guided Socratic questioning. This process surfaces the underlying problem and converts your ideas into a formal draft specification.

Socratic questioning for spec discovery works by applying phase-gated progress to drive structured discovery. It extracts a clear problem statement, solution approach, and scope by articulating the Why, How, and What of your project.

Map acceptance criteria to automated feedback loops automatically during the spec drafting workflow. This ensures early validation by mapping each defined criterion directly to an automated testing or feedback mechanism.

You can use this spec drafting workflow without modifying existing source files because it applies non-destructive output. It only produces a ready-to-review draft specification in your vault or project docs.

The best way to structure a specification before implementation is through Golden Circle discovery, converging on a formal draft. This phase-gated approach ensures your problem, approach, and scope are fully defined and reviewed.

You should not use Socratic discovery for spec drafting if your project scope is already fully defined and requires no problem discovery. This approach is designed to convert vague ideas into formal drafts, not to execute pre-established specifications.
