Plan the build before the code

Plan it properly before a single line gets written

Describe the fuzzy idea. You get questions and a spec first, code second.

What you want to add

Who will use it

What you are NOT building yet

Your prompt

I want to add this: [What you want to add]. The people using it are [Who will use it]. Do not write any code yet. First ask me the five questions where guessing wrong would cost the most, one at a time, and wait for my answers. Then write the spec in three parts: what this does, what it deliberately does NOT do (start that list with [What you are NOT building yet]), and how we will know it works. Wait for my approval before you build.

Empty boxes copy as blanks. Claude will ask you to fill them.

Turn a fuzzy feature idea into a short written plan first, so what Claude builds is what you actually meant the first time.
