Action framework

  1. Rewrite the request as one measurable goal statement - no vague adjectives like "smarter" or "better".
  2. List concrete input/output: what data goes in, what result comes out, who the end user is.
  3. Mark the boundary between the happy path and the error/edge cases that need handling.
  4. Define a "done" criterion both you and engineering can agree on.
  5. Send the draft to one engineer before the meeting - if they come back with more than 3 questions, the spec isn't clear enough yet.
