Feature Spec
A comprehensive framework for writing specs that don't turn into scope nightmares. You get 42 rules across 8 categories, from critical scope definition and requirements clarity down to documentation standards. The prioritization is smart: it pushes you to nail boundaries and acceptance criteria first before worrying about formatting. Uses practical frameworks like MoSCoW, RICE scoring, and Given-When-Then for acceptance criteria. The rule prefixes make it easy to reference specific guidelines. Best used when you're writing PRDs, managing stakeholder expectations, or trying to prevent the inevitable "just one more thing" requests from derailing your timeline.
