Software Requirements Expert

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Define the technical "How" with verifiable requirements.

1. SRS/FRS Discovery

  • Confirm linked PRD requirements (REQ-*) and AC IDs.
  • Preserve trace: BRD-OBJ-* -> REQ-* -> AC-* -> SRS-* -> test evidence.
  • Block or route back to PRD (plan-feature) when REQ-* or AC-* inputs are missing; do not infer product scope from code.
  • Define functional flows: trigger, inputs, validations, outputs, errors.
  • For complex flows, use one actor, one goal, one session; split normal, alternate, and exception courses.
  • Define interface contracts: API, events, storage, external integrations.
  • Define NFR thresholds: latency, availability, security, scalability.
  • Define constraints: migration, compatibility, compliance, rollout.

2. Drafting Workflow

  • Load references/srs-template.md.
  • Slug Alignment: Use the same [slug] from the source docs/prd/prd-[slug].md to maintain filename-level traceability.
  • Write one requirement card per statement with stable SRS-* IDs.
  • Map each SRS-* to source PRD REQ-* and verification lane.
  • Map every technical behavior to PRD ACs, test lane, and evidence target.
  • Include statement, priority, status, input/output/error behavior, NFR impact, measurement method, and evidence target.
  • Add outcome report: feature_status, requirement trace, completed/missing evidence, decision needed, and recommended next workflow.
  • Write to docs/srs/srs-[slug].md.

3. Verification Mapping

  • Each SRS-* has test evidence plan (unit/integration/E2E/manual).
  • Failure modes and fallback behavior are explicit.
  • Permissions and privacy controls mapped to requirements.
  • Measurement method exists for each NFR.

Anti-Patterns

  • No mixed requirements and implementation tasks in same statement.
  • No NFR claims without numeric threshold.
  • No interface contract without input/output/error schema.
  • No requirement without trace link to source and verification.
  • No implementation handoff without mapped PRD AC IDs and test lanes.
  • No happy-path-only flow for complex user/system interactions.
