Good requirements start with a good prompt. These templates help turn an idea into structured artifacts. Replace the brackets with your product context.
From idea to requirements
- Here is a product idea: [text]. Create 10 functional requirements in REQ-XX format.
- Split these requirements into functional and non-functional requirements for [product].
- Find gaps and contradictions in these requirements: [list].
User stories and acceptance criteria
- Turn these requirements into user stories using As a..., I want..., so that...
- Add three acceptance criteria to each story using Given/When/Then.
- Check these stories against INVEST and suggest improvements.
Use cases and code preparation
- Describe the main and alternative flows for use case [name].
- Create an API spec for requirement [REQ-XX].
- Generate test cases for requirement [REQ-XX] with traceability.
Important
Separate prompts create separate answers. A platform keeps requirements, stories, tests and versions connected.
