Requirements Writing Mastery
The quality of your output directly correlates with the clarity and detail of your requirements. Master the art of requirements writing to get the most powerful project foundations.
The Requirements Framework
Our AI engine uses a structured approach to understand your project. Follow this framework for optimal results:
1. Project Overview
Start with a clear, concise description of what you're building and why.
- Project purpose and goals
- Target audience
- Key value proposition
- Success metrics
2. Core Features
List the essential functionality that defines your minimum viable product.
- Must-have features
- User interactions
- Data flow requirements
- Integration needs
3. Technical Requirements
Specify your technology preferences, constraints, and infrastructure needs.
- Technology stack preferences
- Database requirements
- Third-party integrations
- Performance criteria
4. Business Logic
Define the rules, workflows, and specific behavior that makes your project unique.
- Business rules and constraints
- User workflows
- Data validation rules
- Special requirements
Advanced Requirements Techniques
Write user stories to clarify functionality from the user's perspective:
As a customer, I want to filter products by category
so that I can quickly find what I'm looking for.
As an admin, I want to view sales analytics
so that I can make informed business decisions.
As a user, I want to receive email notifications
so that I stay updated on my order status.This format helps our AI understand the context and purpose behind each feature, resulting in more intuitive implementations.
Describe your data structure and relationships to get optimized database schemas:
## Data Models
### User
- id (unique identifier)
- email (unique, required)
- name (required)
- created_at (timestamp)
- subscription_tier (basic/premium/enterprise)
### Product
- id (unique identifier)
- name (required)
- description (text)
- price (decimal)
- category_id (foreign key to Category)
- digital_file (file path for downloads)
### Order
- id (unique identifier)
- user_id (foreign key to User)
- status (pending/completed/cancelled)
- total_amount (decimal)
- created_at (timestamp)
### Relationships
- Users can have multiple Orders (one-to-many)
- Orders can contain multiple Products (many-to-many)
- Products belong to one Category (many-to-one)Clear data relationships help generate proper database migrations, model definitions, and API endpoints.
Define step-by-step processes to ensure proper implementation of complex features:
## Checkout Workflow
1. User adds products to cart
2. User proceeds to checkout
3. System calculates total (including taxes/shipping)
4. User enters payment information
5. System validates payment with Stripe
6. If successful:
- Create order record
- Send confirmation email
- For digital products: generate download links
- Redirect to success page
7. If failed:
- Show error message
- Keep items in cart
- Log failure for admin review
## Subscription Workflow
1. User selects subscription plan
2. System creates Stripe customer
3. System creates Stripe subscription
4. On successful payment:
- Upgrade user account
- Send welcome email
- Grant access to premium features
5. Handle webhook for subscription updatesDetailed workflows ensure that complex business logic is properly implemented and edge cases are handled.
Specify external services and their usage to get proper integration implementations:
## Third-Party Integrations
### Stripe (Payment Processing)
- Process one-time payments
- Handle subscription billing
- Manage customer data
- Process refunds
- Webhook handling for payment events
### SendGrid (Email Service)
- Transactional emails (receipts, confirmations)
- Password reset emails
- Marketing campaigns
- Email templates with branding
### AWS S3 (File Storage)
- Store digital product files
- Generate secure download URLs
- Handle file uploads
- Implement CDN for faster delivery
### Google Analytics
- Track user behavior
- Monitor conversion rates
- Generate business insights
- Custom event trackingClear integration requirements help generate proper API configurations, environment variables, and error handling.
