What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps teams replace vague feature ideas with explicit, testable, and well-scoped specifications—reducing misunderstandings, missing requirements, and late-stage rework.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Scope control: defines in-scope/out-of-scope boundaries, assumptions, MVP vs full vision, and work breakdowns to prevent scope creep.
- Requirements clarity: writes functional vs non-functional requirements, state requirements without prescribing solutions, and expresses them as user stories for shared understanding.
- Objective acceptance & planning: formulates acceptance criteria (including edge cases and Given-When-Then), establishes definition of done, and aligns on success metrics.
- Prioritization with justification: applies MoSCoW, Kano, RICE, and value-vs-effort methods to make tradeoffs defensible.
- Change governance: documents impact assessments, enforces formal change requests, maintains deferred-item logs, and versions specs.
- Technical integration readiness: guides API contract, system context, data model/schema, error handling, performance, and security specification.
Quick Start
Use the feature-spec skill to draft a complete PRD by applying the rules for scope boundaries, measurable requirements, and testable acceptance criteria.
