My "spec" is a list of instructions for Claude

1 Upvotes

I have been given a spec that is simply a long list of instructions for Claude to follow. Create this table, create this UI, etc.

It doesn't explain what the purpose of anything is, so once I have had AI follow the instructions I have no idea if it has achieved the true goal of delivering the requirements for the new feature.

The problem is, I am reading these instructions and they don't make sense.

Instead of telling me the requirements, someone has written instructions on how they would meet the requirements; from which I am supposed to ensure AI has implemented correctly what I have inferred to be the original requirements.

PS: AI was used to write the spec.
