Plan Software Work With Clear Specifications

Unclear requirements cause rework, missed assumptions, and poorly ordered implementation tasks. This skill guides teams through reviewed specifications, dependency-aware plans, and verifiable tasks before coding.

Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "spec-driven-development" from https://skillstore.io/skills/addyosmani-spec-driven-development.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/addyosmani-spec-driven-development/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "spec-driven-development". Make the dashboard faster.

Expected outcome:

Success criteria: largest contentful paint under 2.5 seconds on a 4G connection; initial data load under 500 milliseconds; cumulative layout shift under 0.1.

Using "spec-driven-development". Build account, billing, notifications, and reporting capabilities.

Expected outcome:

  • Capability map: identity owns accounts and sessions; billing depends on identity; notifications depends on identity; reporting depends on billing and notifications.
  • Build order: identity, then billing and notifications, then reporting.

What You Can Build

Shape a New Product Feature

Turn an initial feature idea into an approved specification with user goals, boundaries, success criteria, and an implementation plan.

Decompose a Multi-Module Initiative

Map independently testable capabilities, record dependency direction, and create module-specific specifications in build order.

Make Requirements Testable

Convert vague outcomes into measurable acceptance criteria, verification steps, and focused implementation tasks.

Try These Prompts

Draft a Basic Specification
Create a concise specification for this feature: [feature]. Ask clarifying questions first, then define the objective, users, scope, success criteria, and open questions.
Clarify an Ambiguous Request
Review this request: [request]. List the assumptions you would need to confirm, ask focused questions, and reframe the final requirements as testable success criteria.
Plan a Multi-Module Change
Decompose this initiative into independently testable modules: [initiative]. Create a capability map with stable identifiers, dependencies, build order, and a specification outline for each module.
Prepare Implementation Tasks
Using this approved specification and plan: [documents], create dependency-ordered tasks. Give each task acceptance criteria, a verification step, and the files or areas likely to change.

Best Practices

  • Confirm assumptions before drafting specification content.
  • Use stable module identifiers and explicit dependency direction.
  • Require human approval at each phase before advancing.

Avoid

  • Starting implementation before requirements and success criteria are approved.
  • Hiding ambiguous decisions inside a specification without asking.
  • Creating tasks without acceptance criteria or a verification step.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use this skill?
Use it for new projects, significant features, ambiguous requirements, or changes that span multiple modules.
When should I skip it?
Skip it for single-line fixes, typo corrections, and small changes with clear requirements.
Does it write production code?
No. It prepares specifications, plans, tasks, and review gates before implementation.
What does the specification include?
It covers the objective, commands, project structure, code style, testing strategy, boundaries, success criteria, and open questions.
How does it handle large initiatives?
It creates a capability map, records dependencies, sets a build order, and creates a specification for each module.
Does it replace technical review?
No. Human reviewers still approve assumptions, scope, architecture, security concerns, and readiness for implementation.
