translating-shape-to-spec

To convert shaped intent into a draft functional specification, provide your selected shape and breadboard artifacts. The process maps requirements to observable behavior, ensuring verifiability while generating traceability notes and decision logs.

Requirement-to-spec traceability is generated by mapping each requirement to observable behavior and verification references. This records translation decisions and open questions alongside the breadboard data within the draft specification output.

A traceable functional specification maps each requirement to observable behavior, verification references, and decision logs. You need one when a shape and breadboard outputs exist and a draft spec is required before refinement to ground development and testing.

Yes, translating shapes to specs requires existing breadboard data and a selected shape. These artifacts are prerequisites that the tool processes to surface translation decisions, acceptance criteria, and open questions for review.

The best way to document open questions during requirements translation is to process shaped intent and breadboard data together. This automatically surfaces open questions, acceptance criteria, and translation decisions within the draft specification.

Yes, you can use this translation process before spec refinement. It specifically applies when a draft spec is needed, producing a baseline with decision logging and open questions to guide subsequent refinement and testing activities.
