Product specification

Move from a product decision to an implementable, testable change. Do not manufacture technical detail before the audience, problem, and scope are credible.

Choose a mode

• Brief: clarify audience, trigger, problem, promise, smallest value path, and exclusions.
• Greenfield buildable spec: define a new v1 and its operating boundary.
• Change spec: fit a feature or behavior change into an existing product and architecture.
• Audit: find contradictions, missing states, untestable requirements, and infeasible scope.
• Solo-MVP modifier: constrain to a short, one-person build only when that is the actual goal.

Do not automatically prepend a brief to an audit or a sufficiently grounded change spec.
