Product Specification

Overview

Transform a vague idea into an actionable product spec with user stories, acceptance criteria, and success metrics. This is the first step before any engineering work.

Core principle: If you can't explain what the user does and why they care, you're not ready to code.

When to Use

• Starting a new product or feature
• User says "build X" without detailed requirements
• Before invoking system-design or any scaffold skill
• When requirements are ambiguous or incomplete
