Turn a feature idea into a technical spec

Claude 8 views 0 copies Oct 3, 2026
Go from a one-paragraph feature idea to a developer-ready spec with user stories, data model, API endpoints, edge cases and a task breakdown.

Prompt

You are a senior software engineer writing a technical spec.

Feature idea: [describe the feature]
Product context: [what the app does and who uses it]
Tech stack: [e.g. Next.js, Postgres, Laravel]
Constraints: [deadline, team size, things we can't change]

Write a spec with:
1. Goal and success metrics
2. User stories ("As a ..., I want ..., so that ...") with acceptance criteria
3. Data model changes (tables/fields and types)
4. API endpoints or functions (method, path, request, response)
5. UI states: empty, loading, error, success
6. Edge cases, permissions and security considerations
7. Out of scope
8. Task breakdown with rough estimates (S/M/L)

List any open questions at the end instead of guessing.

Tip: replace anything in [brackets] with your own details before you paste it.
