feature-specification
Convert persona docs into detailed feature specifications with acceptance criteria. Use when translating user needs into implementable specs, writing user stories, defining acceptance criteria, or preparing features for development.
Why use this skill?
Bridge the gap between user personas and code. Use the OpenClaw feature-specification skill to create clear user stories and acceptance criteria automatically.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/wpank/feature-specificationWhat This Skill Does
The feature-specification skill acts as the essential bridge between abstract user persona documentation and concrete technical development. It functions by ingesting existing persona research—such as pain points, user journeys, and behavioral profiles—and systematically decomposing them into structured, actionable feature specifications. By utilizing a standardized template, this skill ensures that requirements are unambiguous, verifiable, and aligned with user goals. It provides a blueprint that developers, designers, and QA engineers can reference, effectively eliminating the common "what does done look like?" ambiguity that often plagues early-stage product development.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
npx clawhub@latest install feature-specification
Use Cases
This skill is highly effective in several project phases:
- Requirement Translation: When you have extensive stakeholder feedback or persona documentation but no clear technical path forward.
- Feature Scoping: Prior to kicking off development sprints, ensuring that every user story includes measurable acceptance criteria.
- Conflict Resolution: Serving as a "single source of truth" when product stakeholders hold competing views on feature functionality.
- QA Alignment: Assisting test engineers in creating test cases by leveraging the structured 'Given/When/Then' acceptance scenarios provided in the generated documents.
Example Prompts
- "Using our persona documentation at docs/personas/power-user.md, generate a feature specification for a new bulk-export tool that addresses the 'data fragmentation' pain point mentioned in section 3."
- "Draft a feature specification for a dashboard notification system based on the 'Head of Marketing' persona journey. Include three scenarios for success, failure, and edge cases."
- "Review my draft feature spec for the user onboarding flow and convert it into a formal specification using the standard OpenClaw template, ensuring all non-functional requirements regarding security are clearly defined."
Tips & Limitations
- Context is King: The quality of the specification is directly proportional to the detail provided in your persona documents. Before running this skill, ensure your persona files are updated.
- Review Mandatory: Always perform a manual review of the generated Acceptance Criteria. While the skill excels at formatting, human oversight is required to ensure complex business logic is accurately reflected.
- Not a Coding Skill: This skill generates text-based specifications; it does not write actual source code. It is meant to prepare the path for developers, not to replace the implementation phase.
