name: spec-synthesis description: Transform ambiguous requirements into precise specifications. Use before any non-trivial implementation.

Specification Synthesis

Convert tickets, feature requests, or informal requirements into a structured specification document.

Process

1. Extract the core problem being solved
2. List functional requirements (what the system must do)
3. List non-functional requirements (performance, security, UX)
4. Define clear acceptance criteria
5. Identify edge cases and constraints

Output

Create spec.md using the template in templates/spec.md.

Tips

• Use numbered requirements for traceability
• Each requirement should be testable
• Distinguish must-have from nice-to-have
• Ask clarifying questions before assuming
• Reference existing patterns in the codebase
