FAQPage Schema

How do I refine vague Allium spec requirements into precise .allium specifications?▼

To refine vague Allium spec requirements, you translate them into precise, well-formed .allium specifications by consulting the language reference, reviewing existing .allium files, and running allium check to verify syntax before applying changes.

What is the best way to fix syntax errors and validation issues in .allium files?▼

The best way to fix syntax errors in .allium files is to review the relevant files, consult the language reference for correct structure, and run allium check to verify syntax before applying the necessary corrections.

Can I migrate existing Allium specs to a newer language version?▼

Yes, you can migrate existing Allium specs to a newer language version by updating entities, variants, rules, triggers, surfaces, and contracts, then verifying the migrated .allium files with allium check.

How do you handle ambiguous requirements when writing Allium specifications?▼

To handle ambiguous requirements in Allium specifications, you push back on vague inputs with probing questions to preserve intent, ensuring the final .allium files avoid ambiguous implementations and outcomes.

Do I need the allium check command to validate .allium specification files?▼

You need the allium check command when available to verify syntax and validation errors before applying changes to .allium files, ensuring the specifications remain well-formed and precise.
