Technical Spec Template

Q: How do I know the Technical Spec Template output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Problem statement contains no solution language; Non-goals explicitly list at least 2 things that might be assumed in scope; At least 2 alternative approaches are documented with reasons for rejection; Security and privacy section is completed for any feature touching user data.

What to give it

▸Feature or system description — what needs to be specced

▸Related PRD or product brief — if available

▸Engineering reviewers — whose sign-off is needed

▸Known constraints — technical limitations, security requirements, performance targets

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Problem statement contains no solution language

✓Non-goals explicitly list at least 2 things that might be assumed in scope

✓At least 2 alternative approaches are documented with reasons for rejection

✓Security and privacy section is completed for any feature touching user data

✓All open questions have a named owner and due date (not "TBD")

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not include solution language in the problem statement — the problem must be described independently of the proposed solution

Do not omit alternatives considered — a spec that considers only one approach has not been properly evaluated

Do not leave open questions as "TBD" without a named owner and due date — unresolved questions are blockers

Do not skip security and privacy sections for any feature that touches user data

Do not write a non-goals section that is empty — always list at least two things that might be assumed in scope
