# Spec-driven feature planning and phased code implementation

Turn feature requests into structured architecture specs and run task-by-task coding loops

[Use with BotBento ](https://app.botbento.com/?ref=usecases&utm_source=botbento.com&utm_medium=usecases&utm_campaign=spec-driven-feature-planning-and-phased-code)Copy promptShare[Markdown](/text/usecases/spec-driven-feature-planning-and-phased-code/index.md)[العربية](/ar/usecases/spec-driven-feature-planning-and-phased-code/)

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When you askSubmit feature goal
- ThenDraft technical spec and task list
- ResultExecute tasks and run test suite

Break down complex coding goals into structured research, requirement documents, architectural designs, and ordered tasks before modifying your codebase. The bot plans each phase methodically, verifies implementation details with small prototypes when needed, and executes tasks sequentially while tracking progress across development sessions.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Analyze user feature requests by reviewing existing codebase files. Generate formal specification documents containing user requirements, technical architecture, and broken-down tasks. Present the specification to the user and wait for explicit approval before creating files, running build scripts, editing source code, or executing commits in the terminal.
