Requirements Spec
Transform business needs into detailed requirements specifications with acceptance criteria
What You Can Do
You can take raw business needs, stakeholder feedback, and problem statements and transform them into professionally structured requirements specifications. The skill decomposes ambiguous requests into detailed functional and non-functional requirements, organizes them as user stories with acceptance criteria, and prepares them for development handoff. This bridges the gap between business stakeholders and development teams while ensuring clarity on what "done" looks like.
Features
Converts business needs into properly formatted user stories with roles, goals, and success criteria
Creates testable, specific acceptance criteria that development teams can validate against
Breaks down high-level requirements into detailed, implementable functional specifications
Identifies and documents performance, security, scalability, and compliance requirements
Specifies data flows, system integrations, and dependencies required for implementation
Links requirements back to original business needs and stakeholder requests for audit trails
Formats specifications for direct publication to your documentation platform with proper structure
Example Output
Example 1: Feature Request Transformation
Input: "We need users to be able to search our product catalog faster"
Output:
- User Story: As a customer, I want to search products by multiple filters so that I find relevant items in under 3 seconds
- Acceptance Criteria:
- ✓ Search returns results within 3 seconds for queries with 100k+ products
- ✓ Users can filter by category, price range, and availability simultaneously
- ✓ No results state displays helpful suggestions
- ✓ Search works on mobile and desktop
- Non-Functional: Must support 1000 concurrent searches; response time <200ms
Example 2: Integration Requirements
Input: "Sales needs CRM sync for new customer data"
Output:
- Functional: System syncs customer records to Salesforce within 5 minutes of creation
- Data Requirements: Customer name, email, phone, company, acquisition source
- Integration: REST API to Salesforce CRM with webhook triggers
- Acceptance Criteria:
- ✓ 100% of new customers appear in CRM within SLA
- ✓ No duplicate records created during sync
- ✓ Sync errors logged with retry mechanism

You can rapidly diagnose leaching circuit problems by submitting operational data, mineralogical assays, and performance metrics to Claude, which analyzes root causes, models parameter optimization scenarios, and evaluates alternative solvent systems or circuit configurations. Rather than relying on expensive trial-and-error testing, you'll receive data-driven recommendations for temperature, pH, residence time, pulp density, and solvent alternatives tailored to your ore mineralogy and equipment constraints.

You can load existing PRDs or saved prompts, discuss targeted improvements with Claude, and refine requirements without losing track of what changed. The skill manages source discovery, guides you through iteration cycles, and maintains clear modification markers ([ADDED], [MODIFIED], [REMOVED], [UNCHANGED]) so you always know what evolved during refinement.

You can take raw stakeholder feedback—interview notes, emails, meeting transcripts, fragmented documents—and systematically synthesize them into formal, validated requirement statements. Claude identifies conflicting expectations, flags missing information, eliminates ambiguity, and produces a requirements baseline ready for development handoff without constant clarification requests.

You can conduct structured discovery interviews that go beyond surface-level answers to uncover what stakeholders actually need. Claude asks probing questions across relevant categories, detects knowledge gaps, educates when needed, and synthesizes findings into comprehensive project specifications. This works for technical projects, non-technical initiatives, and cross-functional scenarios.

You can rapidly diagnose low recovery rates by cross-referencing ore composition, process parameters, and output metrics to identify root causes. Model extraction scenarios by varying temperature, pH, residence time, and pulp density to predict yield impacts before costly pilot tests. Structure comprehensive troubleshooting reports with hypothesis chains, test sequences, and expected outcomes to guide lab validation or plant trials.

You can decompose complex mine plans into analyzable components and evaluate competing production scenarios across geological sequencing, equipment capacity, processing throughput, and regulatory constraints. This skill helps you identify bottlenecks before they impact operations, quantitatively compare pit sequencing alternatives, and document decision logic for stakeholder and regulatory review.

You can rapidly convert unstructured requirements into standardized, actionable JIRA tickets that your team can immediately work with. The skill generates searchable titles, testable acceptance criteria in Given/When/Then format, logical subtasks that break work into completable units, and story point estimates aligned to your team's velocity. This ensures consistency across tickets and reduces back-and-forth clarification during sprint planning and execution.

You can break down complex business requirements into actionable components that developers can implement and test. Claude helps you parse stakeholder input, identify hidden assumptions, generate testable acceptance criteria, map dependencies between requirements, and flag conflicts early—reducing implementation time and clarification cycles.
