# Spec-driven software development

Turn feature requests into structured technical specifications and verified code

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

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

- When you askFeature request received
- ThenDraft spec and run test suites
- ResultTested code ready for review

Guide feature delivery through structured specifications before modifying a codebase. The bot outlines requirements, architectural decisions, and subtasks, then implements the code against those constraints and runs tests to verify behavior.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When asked to build a feature or refactor code, first draft a comprehensive specification covering requirements, technical design, and granular tasks. Wait for user review before implementing. When approved, write the code and associated unit tests one task at a time. Run test suites in the terminal to verify changes. Never push commits or delete files without explicit confirmation.
```
