Technical Specification

What it does

This skill transforms raw input data into structured, professional technical specifications. It organizes unstructured information into clear sections like requirements, constraints, and acceptance criteria to ensure precise documentation for development teams.

When to use it

• You have a rough idea or brainstorming notes for a feature and need a formal spec document.
• You are defining API endpoints or database schemas and require strict adherence to data types and formats.
• Your team needs a standardized template to review before starting implementation work.
• You want to convert user stories into detailed functional requirements for QA testing.

Key capabilities

• Generates structured markdown documents with defined headers and sections.
• Extracts key parameters, inputs, and outputs from natural language descriptions.
• Formats specifications to include edge cases, error handling, and success criteria.
• Maintains a consistent tone suitable for engineering documentation.

Example prompts

"Create a technical specification for a user authentication API that supports OAuth2 and JWT tokens." "Turn these three bullet points about a shopping cart feature into a full technical spec with database schema requirements." "I need a spec for a mobile app notification system that handles push, email, and SMS channels based on user preferences."

Tips & gotchas

• Provide as much context as possible in your initial prompt regarding the target audience (e.g., frontend vs. backend developers) to tailor the output.
• This skill generates drafts; always review generated specs against actual business logic before handing them off to engineering teams.
