# Feature Specification: Feature Specification Creation Template

**Feature Branch**: `002-feature-specification-creation`
**Created**: 2025-10-05
**Status**: Draft
**Input**: User description: "" *[NEEDS CLARIFICATION: No feature description provided - please specify the actual feature you want to create]*

## Execution Flow (main)
```
1. Parse user description from Input
   → If empty: ERROR "No feature description provided"
2. Extract key concepts from description
   → Identify: actors, actions, data, constraints
3. For each unclear aspect:
   → Mark with [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: specific question]
4. Fill User Scenarios & Testing section
   → If no clear user flow: ERROR "Cannot determine user scenarios"
5. Generate Functional Requirements
   → Each requirement must be testable
   → Mark ambiguous requirements
6. Identify Key Entities (if data involved)
7. Run Review Checklist
   → If any [NEEDS CLARIFICATION]: WARN "Spec has uncertainties"
   → If implementation details found: ERROR "Remove tech details"
8. Return: SUCCESS (spec ready for planning)
```

## ⚡ Quick Guidelines
- ✅ Focus on WHAT users need and WHY
- ❌ Avoid HOW to implement (no tech stack, APIs, code structure)
- 👥 Written for business stakeholders, not developers

### Section Requirements
- **Mandatory sections**: Must be completed for every feature
- **Optional sections**: Include only when relevant to the feature
- When a section doesn't apply, remove it entirely (don't leave as "N/A")

### For AI Generation
When creating this spec from a user prompt:
1. **Mark all ambiguities**: Use [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: specific question] for any assumption you'd need to make
2. **Don't guess**: If the prompt doesn't specify something (e.g., "login system" without auth method), mark it
3. **Think like a tester**: Every vague requirement should fail the "testable and unambiguous" checklist item
4. **Common underspecified areas**:
   - User types and permissions
   - Data retention/deletion policies  
   - Performance targets and scale
   - Error handling behaviors
   - Integration requirements
   - Security/compliance needs

## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*

### Primary User Story
[NEEDS CLARIFICATION: No user story provided - please describe what the user wants to accomplish]

### Acceptance Scenarios
[NEEDS CLARIFICATION: No scenarios provided - please describe the expected user interactions]

### Edge Cases
- [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: What are the boundary conditions?]
- [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: What error scenarios should be handled?]

## Requirements *(mandatory)*

### Functional Requirements
- **FR-001**: [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: What is the primary capability the system must provide?]
- **FR-002**: [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: What validation or processing is required?]
- **FR-003**: [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: What user interactions are needed?]
- **FR-004**: [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: What data must be stored or processed?]
- **FR-005**: [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: What behaviors or business rules apply?]

*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)*
[NEEDS CLARIFICATION: What entities are involved in this feature?]
