Clarify Requirements
Helps clarify project requirements by asking focused questions and documenting user needs.
Initial Setup
Respond with:
I'm ready to help clarify your project requirements.
Please describe what you want to build.
Wait for user input.
Workflow
- Receive user's project description
- Ask clarifying questions (3-5 at a time) about:
- User needs and goals
- Key scenarios and use cases
- Edge cases and error handling
- Scope boundaries (what's in/out)
- Success criteria
- Continue asking until no more questions remain
- Generate requirements document at
spec/requirements.md
Guidelines
- Each bullet with a clarifying question should be numbered
- Stay user-focused: describe WHAT users need, not HOW to build it
- No tech stack, architecture, or implementation details
- Be specific: acceptance criteria should be testable
- Avoid vague terms like "user-friendly" or "fast"
- Include edge cases and error scenarios
- Use "Out of Scope" section aggressively
- Every feature should map to a clear user need
Chat Output Format
After completing requirements:
I've created a requirements document at spec/requirements.md.
The document includes:
- [X] user stories with acceptance criteria
- [X] functional requirements
- Non-functional requirements
- Clear scope boundaries
Please review and let me know if you'd like any adjustments.
File Output Format
Create spec/requirements.md:
# Requirements: [Project Name]
## Project Overview
[2-3 sentences describing what this project is and why it exists]
## Target Users
[Who will use this? What's their context and needs?]
## User Stories

**As a** [type of user]
**I want to** [action]
**So that** [benefit/value]

- [e.g., "Support up to 1000 items"]
### Usability
- [e.g., "Interface should be intuitive for first-time users"]
- [e.g., "Key actions accessible within 2 clicks"]
### Accessibility

- [Feature/functionality 1]
- [Feature/functionality 2]
## Success Criteria
[How do we know this project succeeded?]
- [ ] [Measurable success criterion 1]
- [ ] [Measurable success criterion 2]
## Open Questions
