Feature Specification: [FEATURE NAME]

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

User Scenarios & Testing (mandatory)

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

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

Requirements (mandatory)

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]

Non-Functional Requirements (Per Constitution)

These requirements are mandated by .specify/memory/constitution.md and MUST be included:

Security (Principle VI)

  • NFR-SEC-001: All API endpoints MUST validate and sanitize inputs
  • NFR-SEC-002: Authentication/authorization MUST be implemented for protected resources
  • NFR-SEC-003: No credentials MUST be stored in code (environment variables only)
  • NFR-SEC-004: SQL queries MUST use parameterized statements to prevent injection

Observability (Principle IV)

  • NFR-OBS-001: All operations MUST emit structured logs with context
  • NFR-OBS-002: Critical paths MUST be instrumented with tracing spans
  • NFR-OBS-003: Key metrics MUST be collected (latency, error rate, throughput)
  • NFR-OBS-004: Errors MUST be tracked with full context for debugging

Type Safety (Principle V)

  • NFR-TYPE-001: All data structures MUST use Pydantic models
  • NFR-TYPE-002: All functions MUST have type annotations
  • NFR-TYPE-003: API boundaries MUST perform runtime validation

Testing (Principle I - NON-NEGOTIABLE)

  • NFR-TEST-001: Test coverage MUST exceed 80% (100% for critical paths)
  • NFR-TEST-002: Tests MUST be written before implementation (TDD)
  • NFR-TEST-003: All tests MUST be independent and order-agnostic

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)

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%"]
