Turn an idea into a developer-ready spec by answering questions

Submit a prompt

Overview

This prompt has the AI interview you about an idea, taking a single question per turn, with each one building on your last answer. The aim is a detailed step-by-step spec you could hand to a developer. Paste your idea where the placeholder sits. The author saves the result as spec.md and then plans the build from it.

Ask me one question at a time so we can develop a thorough, step-by-step spec for this idea. Each question should build on my previous answers, and our end goal is to have a detailed specification I can hand off to a developer. Let’s do this iteratively and dig into every relevant detail. Remember, only one question at a time.
Here’s the idea:

  • Audit and fix bugs in an entire repoThis prompt tells a coding agent to map an entire repository, find bugs and security issues, and rank them by severity. It then fixes them with tests and writes up each fix. It works with any language or stack.Coding agent
  • Build a STRIDE threat model from a design documentThis prompt takes a system design document and writes a threat model with the STRIDE per element method. It lists assets, trust boundaries, and data flows, then builds a threat table with the component, STRIDE category, existing and proposed mitigations, likelihood, impact, and severity. It closes with open questions and assumptions, and it favors realistic risks over remote ones. The output is Markdown without bold or italics.Coding agent
