FAQPage Schema
How do I write a technical specification document for software architecture and integrations?▼

To write a technical specification, generate a comprehensive document covering system architecture, external integrations, data flows, system limits, and non-functional requirements. This process uses existing product context to output a structured technical markdown file for engineering and security review.

What should be included in a technical specification for data flows and compliance?▼

A technical specification should include data flow mapping that highlights sensitive information, adherence to compliance frameworks, system limits, and non-functional requirements like latency and availability. It details how data moves through the system and documents the compliance posture.

Does generating technical specifications require existing product context files?▼

Generating technical specifications requires existing product context files like product.yaml and positioning.md. It references compliance frameworks to ensure the specification accurately reflects the product's architecture and compliance posture before writing to the technical.md file.

What is the best way to document non-functional requirements and system limits for a new feature?▼

The best way to document non-functional requirements is to author a technical specification that defines latency, availability, and system limits. This captures the architecture and compliance posture required by engineers and auditors to understand the system design.

How does a technical specification help with security audits and compliance reviews?▼

A technical specification helps with security audits by documenting adherence to compliance frameworks and mapping sensitive data flows. It provides a clear architecture overview and compliance posture that security teams and auditors use to verify system design and requirements.
