spec-authoring

Feature specifications enforce explicit separation of user requirements and technical requirements by documenting each layer in designated sections, ensuring normative contracts are distinct and authoritative for both behavior and implementation delivery.

A feature spec template requires the sections Requirement, Goal, User Requirements, Technical Requirements, In Scope, Out Of Scope, Acceptance Criteria, and References to enforce consistent specification authoring.

Umbrella specs document alongside individual feature specifications by applying the same dual-layer specification work, ensuring explicit separation of user and technical requirements across both feature-specific and broader umbrella scopes.

Reducing ambiguity in technical requirements documentation requires explicit separation from user requirements, placing normative contracts in designated sections to ensure alignment and authoritative implementation delivery.

Specification authoring works without external dependencies, relying solely on the default feature spec template to enforce the required specification shape and explicit requirement separation.

You need to separate user requirements and technical requirements in a spec whenever both user-facing behavior and implementation delivery must be explicit, ensuring alignment and reducing ambiguity across the feature or umbrella scope.
