# Enhanced SpecKit-Compliant Specify Prompts
## Branch: `enhanced-speckit-phase-prompts`
**Date**: 2025-10-12
**Status**: ✅ Complete
---
## Overview
This document tracks the enhancement of Phase 03-07 specify prompts to align with SpecKit methodology as documented in `/docs/references/spec-kit/speckit_specify_ai_101225.md`.
---
## Analysis Summary
All phases analyzed against SpecKit reference guide. Key findings:
**Common Issues Across All Phases**:
- Files were specifications, not prompts to generate specifications
- Missing SpecKit's 8-section mandatory structure
- No FR-### numbered requirements with MUST/SHOULD/MAY
- Missing step-by-step user workflows
- No edge cases with explicit error scenarios
- No review & acceptance checklists
- Implementation details leaked (tools, technologies)
**Common Strengths**:
- Strong domain knowledge and business context (70-75% excellent content)
- Multiple user personas well-defined
- Clear success criteria
- Good scope boundaries
- Business value clearly articulated
**Recommendation**: Targeted Enhancement (preserve 70-75% of content, restructure to SpecKit format)

## Quality Standards
All enhanced prompts conform to:
1. **SpecKit 8-Section Structure**:
- Feature Metadata
- Original User Description
- User Scenarios & Testing
- Functional Requirements (FR-###)
- Success Criteria
- Key Entities
- Edge Cases & Error Handling
- Review & Acceptance Checklist
- Clarifications Section
- Non-Goals
2. **Content Quality**:
- Zero implementation details (no languages, frameworks, databases)
- User-centric language (non-technical stakeholders can understand)
- Measurable success criteria (specific numbers, not subjective)
- Testable requirements (clear pass/fail criteria)
- Complete traceability (FR-### → User Scenarios)
3. **AI Agent Guidance**:
- Pre-flight validation checks
- Anti-patterns specific to phase
- Quality self-check criteria
- Post-generation actions
- Success/failure indicators
