What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Who, What and What Not Yet

    Pin down the user, the problem and the one main feature, then decide what waits for version two.

    Goal: Write a one-paragraph product brief and split features into "first version" and "later".

    • Vague ideas make vague apps
    • First version or later?
    • Sketch the screens and the data
    • Project task: write your brief
    • Before you continue
  2. 2

    Requirements AI Can't Misunderstand

    Turn features into testable acceptance criteria, then into precise, step-sized instructions.

    Goal: Write acceptance criteria for a feature and turn them into a precise prompt for one small step.

    • Acceptance criteria: how you'll know it works
    • Testable or vague?
    • Pick the best prompt
    • Project task: criteria to prompt
    • If AI gets stuck
    • Before you continue
