product-intake-processor

To convert a broad product request into a build-ready specification, restate the request as a concrete build problem and extract its purpose, features, runtime assumptions, security considerations, and handoff tasks. It translates vague requirements across product, engineering, and design domains into measurable outcomes and structured documentation.

The best way to structure product requirements for engineering handoff is to document runtime environments, data needs, integration touchpoints, and risk considerations, while explicitly identifying which specialist skills should handle the next steps.

You document runtime and security assumptions when requirements are unclear by extracting environment needs, data needs, and security considerations from the initial request, then flagging all assumptions explicitly within the generated specification.

Yes, you can use it to identify which specialist skills should handle next steps by analyzing the extracted product, engineering, security, and design requirements, and mapping them to the appropriate downstream specialist skills.

Yes, product intake processing works when stakeholder needs span multiple domains by applying structured transformation to ambiguous requests across product, engineering, security, and design, ensuring all cross-functional requirements are captured.

You should not use a structured intake specification when a request is already highly detailed, targets a single domain, or requires immediate code generation rather than cross-functional risk analysis and architectural planning.
