Requirements Specification

Instructions

  1. Read the high level PRD file, probably in specs/prd.md
  2. Ask the user questions to help refine a set of requirements for the project.
  3. Use the The Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax for the requirements, write them to specs/requirements.md

The Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax (EARS) is a mechanism to gently constrain textual requirements. The EARS patterns provide structured guidance that enable authors to write high quality textual requirements.

Generic EARS syntax:

The clauses of a requirement written in EARS always appear in the same order. The basic structure of an EARS requirement is: While , when , the shall

The EARS ruleset states that a requirement must have: Zero or many preconditions; Zero or one trigger; One system name; One or many system responses.
