How to do this task

Follow the method below, do the task, then check the result. Tool links show options, not extra steps you must complete.

Traditional approach
Write a table with confirmed behaviour, evidence from the request, proposed checks and unresolved decisions. Discuss permission and limit questions with the responsible people before treating the document as a build specification.
Use AI

In the guide, separate the problem, intended users, confirmed behaviour and unresolved decisions. Send that brief and the prompt to one assistant to produce a requirements draft. Review every proposed requirement with its owner before treating it as agreed work. The drafting happens in your chosen assistant.

Prompt to use with your assistant
Draft background, user problem, confirmed scope, non-goals, proposed acceptance checks, and open questions. Label checks as proposed for review, not agreed. Derive checks only from stated behaviour. Leave permissions, limits, metrics and dates unresolved when not supplied. Do not make product decisions or silently add features. Idea:
What can go wrong
  • Incorrect: “Ship next Friday with admin-only exports and a 20% activation gain.” Correction: “Delivery date, export permissions and success measures need team decisions.” Remove each invented requirement, attach its missing decision to an open question, and ask the requester to review before development starts.

Human check before use

  • Every scope item must trace to the request or be marked as a proposal.
  • Acceptance checks are proposed until the team agrees them.
  • Do not fill unresolved permissions, dates, budgets or metrics with guesses.
Keep the final decision with a person

AI does not verify facts, arithmetic, identity or policy. Treat every generated line as a draft until you have checked it.
