SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Precisely define behavioral expectations for modules by creating formal specs that serve as contracts between callers and implementations, enabling predictable, testable development.

Core Features & Use Cases

Enables canonical documentation of module surfaces, boundaries, and expected behavior that downstream tests can lock down.
Supports a consistent spec structure under docs/specs/ to feed durable behavior catalogs and verification pipelines.
Applicable to new module introductions and refactors to ensure contract-driven development and clear acceptance criteria.

Quick Start

Draft the spec under docs/specs/ for the target module and run the TDD pipeline to validate contracts.

FAQPage Schema

How do I define a behavioral spec for a module to establish a clear contract?▼

To define a behavioral spec for a module, draft a formal document under docs/specs/ that explicitly outlines the module surface, boundaries, and expected behavior to serve as a contract between callers and implementations.

What is contract-driven development and when do I need a module spec?▼

Contract-driven development uses formal module specs to define explicit behavioral expectations between callers and providers. You need a module spec when adding new modules or refactoring existing ones to ensure clear boundaries and testability.

How do I create documentation for module specs that aligns with TDD pipelines?▼

Create module spec documentation by applying a canonical spec structure under docs/specs/. This structure feeds durable behavior catalogs and verification pipelines, ensuring alignment with downstream tests and implementations.

Can I use this spec approach for both new modules and codebase refactoring?▼

Yes, you can apply this spec approach to both new module introductions and existing modules undergoing refactoring. It ensures contract-driven development and clear acceptance criteria across the TDD pipeline.

What is the best way to ensure my module boundaries are testable?▼

The best way to ensure testable module boundaries is to define precise behavioral specs that document expected behavior. These specs lock down contracts, enabling predictable development and feeding downstream verification workloads.

Why does my module implementation break its contract during testing?▼

A module implementation breaks its contract during testing when it deviates from the precise behavioral spec defined under docs/specs/. Drafting explicit specs ensures alignment between the provider implementation and caller expectations.
