Feature Specification: [FEATURE NAME]

Feature Branch: [###-feature-name] Created: [DATE] Status: Draft Input: User description: "$ARGUMENTS"

User Scenarios & Testing (mandatory)

<!-- IMPORTANT: User stories should be PRIORITIZED as user journeys ordered by importance. Each user story/journey must be INDEPENDENTLY TESTABLE - meaning if you implement just ONE of them, you should still have a viable MVP (Minimum Viable Product) that delivers value. Assign priorities (P1, P2, P3, etc.) to each story, where P1 is the most critical. Think of each story as a standalone slice of functionality that can be: - Developed independently - Tested independently - Deployed independently - Demonstrated to users independently -->

User Story 1 - [Brief Title] (Priority: P1)

[Describe this user journey in plain language]

Why this priority: [Explain the value and why it has this priority level]

Independent Test: [Describe how this can be tested independently - e.g., "Can be fully tested by [specific action] and delivers [specific value]"]

Acceptance Scenarios:

1. Given [initial state], When [action], Then [expected outcome]
2. Given [initial state], When [action], Then [expected outcome]

User Story 2 - [Brief Title] (Priority: P2)

[Describe this user journey in plain language]

Why this priority: [Explain the value and why it has this priority level]

Independent Test: [Describe how this can be tested independently]

Acceptance Scenarios:

1. Given [initial state], When [action], Then [expected outcome]

User Story 3 - [Brief Title] (Priority: P3)

[Describe this user journey in plain language]

Why this priority: [Explain the value and why it has this priority level]

Independent Test: [Describe how this can be tested independently]

Acceptance Scenarios:

1. Given [initial state], When [action], Then [expected outcome]

[Add more user stories as needed, each with an assigned priority]

Edge Cases

<!-- ACTION REQUIRED: The content in this section represents placeholders. Fill them out with the right edge cases. -->

• What happens when [boundary condition]?
• How does system handle [error scenario]?

Requirements (mandatory)

<!-- ACTION REQUIRED: The content in this section represents placeholders. Fill them out with the right functional requirements. -->

Functional Requirements

• FR-001: System MUST [specific capability, e.g., "allow users to create accounts"]
• FR-002: System MUST [specific capability, e.g., "validate email addresses"]
• FR-003: Users MUST be able to [key interaction, e.g., "reset their password"]
• FR-004: System MUST [data requirement, e.g., "persist user preferences"]
• FR-005: System MUST [behavior, e.g., "log all security events"]

Example of marking unclear requirements:

• FR-006: System MUST authenticate users via [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: auth method not specified - email/password, SSO, OAuth?]
• FR-007: System MUST retain user data for [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: retention period not specified]

Key Entities (include if feature involves data)

• [Entity 1]: [What it represents, key attributes without implementation]
• [Entity 2]: [What it represents, relationships to other entities]

Success Criteria (mandatory)

<!-- ACTION REQUIRED: Define measurable success criteria. These must be technology-agnostic and measurable. -->

Measurable Outcomes

• SC-001: [Measurable metric, e.g., "Users can complete account creation in under 2 minutes"]
• SC-002: [Measurable metric, e.g., "System handles 1000 concurrent users without degradation"]
• SC-003: [User satisfaction metric, e.g., "90% of users successfully complete primary task on first attempt"]
• SC-004: [Business metric, e.g., "Reduce support tickets related to [X] by 50%"]
