feature-spec

To write user stories with GIVEN/WHEN/THEN acceptance criteria, define the feature's problem statement, success metrics, and testable outcomes. This generates a structured markdown specification capturing scope boundaries, dependencies, and risks for implementation readiness.

The best way to structure a product feature spec for dev handoff is to produce a markdown document containing problem statements, in-scope and out-of-scope items, dependencies, risks, and checklist-driven sign-in and sign-out steps to coordinate PM and engineering workflows.

Define scope boundaries and dependencies by identifying in-scope and out-of-scope items, mapping technical dependencies, listing risks, and noting open questions within a feature specification to ensure clear implementation planning and avoid ambiguous requirements.

Yes, you can generate a complete feature specification in markdown for product management workflows. The output file is created at docs/specs/{feature-name}.md, containing success metrics, acceptance criteria, scope, and handoff notes.

Yes, this approach writes testable acceptance criteria for engineering teams by utilizing GIVEN/WHEN/THEN formats within user stories. This drives testable outcomes and ensures the development team receives implementation-ready requirements.

You need a formal feature spec with sign-in and sign-out checklists when coordinating handoffs between PM and engineering, ensuring existing specs are researched to avoid conflicts and that all scope, dependencies, and risks are verified before implementation begins.
