FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a specification document from raw software requirements?▼

To generate a specification document from software requirements, this Skill uses a guided Q&A process to elicit feature details, API contracts, and acceptance criteria, producing a structured SDD Part 1 document ready for review.

What is Specification-Driven Development and when do I need a Part 1 document?▼

Specification-Driven Development (SDD) is a methodology where development follows formal specifications; you need a Part 1 document to define overview, detailed specs, and acceptance criteria before proceeding to the planning phase.

How do I clarify ambiguous feature requirements before writing a specification?▼

To clarify ambiguous feature requirements before writing a specification, the Skill asks targeted questions to resolve ambiguities, iteratively refining details and flagging unclarified points for resolution.

Can I align new feature specifications with existing project constitution principles?▼

Yes, you can align new feature specifications with existing project principles; the Skill validates the generated specification against project constitution principles and checklists to ensure compliance.

What's the best way to define API contracts and data models for a new feature?▼

The best way to define API contracts and data models for a new feature is using a guided elicitation process that captures these technical details within a structured specification document aligned with development standards.

What happens if some requirements are left unclarified during specification generation?▼

If requirements are left unclarified during specification generation, the Skill identifies and flags those unclarified points, requiring resolution before you can proceed to the planning phase.
