# PM Spec Writing Take an idea (often vague) and turn it into a specification a developer or AI agent can actually build from. Stack-agnostic. Works for new features, bug fixes, content changes, or infrastructure work. --- ## When to use - Translating an idea into a buildable feature spec - Writing a PRD or product requirement document - Filing a bug report that someone else can act on - Scoping a project before kickoff - Prioritizing a backlog of feature requests - Writing acceptance criteria for an existing feature - Breaking a large initiative into shippable increments ## When NOT to use - Quarterly or annual planning across multiple initiatives (use `roadmap-planning`) - Code review or debugging existing code (use `code-review-web`) - Design decisions for a feature already specced (use `design-standards`) - User research to validate an idea (use `ux-research`) --- ## Required inputs - The idea, request, or problem being addressed - The audience or user affected - Any existing constraints (stack, deadlines, dependencies) - The success metric (how will you know it worked?) If the idea is vague, the workflow's first step is clarification. Do not write specs around vagueness. --- ## The framework: 4 phases Every PM workflow follows the same arc. The phases are universal even if the specific outputs vary. ### Phase 1: Clarify the idea Before any spec, answer four questions. If any answer is "I don't know," go back to the user. 1. **What user problem does this s...

write-spec

Write a feature spec or PRD from a problem statement or feature idea. Use when turning a vague idea or user request into a structured document, scoping a feature with goals and non-goals, defining success metrics and acceptance criteria, or breaking a big ask into a phased spec.

specdd

Spec-driven development orchestrator that turns vague, top-of-mind feature requests into production-grade specifications before any code is written. ALWAYS use this skill whenever the user describes a feature, change, capability, screen, flow, or new component in plain language — even if they don't explicitly ask for a spec. Triggers on phrases like "build me", "make me", "add a feature", "I want to", "help me create", "implement", "let's build", "I need a", "can you make", "create a screen/page/component", or any new-feature request that lacks complete requirements (missing user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases, error/empty/loading states, accessibility, or non-functional requirements). Interviews the user to fill gaps, applies UX/UI common sense, produces a structured spec + plan + tasks, then implements against the spec. Use this BEFORE writing any code for non-trivial features. Skip only for true one-liners (rename a variable, fix a typo, answer a research question) or work that is purely investig
