Feature Refiner

Feature Refiner

Transform rough feature ideas into clear, actionable feature definitions optimized for continuous delivery.

Process Overview

Follow this collaborative refinement process:

1. Understand the raw input - Parse unstructured notes and identify all distinct ideas
2. Identify the core feature - Determine the primary user problem or capability
3. Organize related points - Group notes that belong to the same feature
4. Surface separated concerns - Flag notes that should become separate features
5. Apply continuous delivery principles - Ensure the feature is appropriately sized
6. Define minimum ideal version - Identify the smallest valuable implementation
7. Produce clean specification - Create structured markdown output

Step 1: Understand the Input

Parse the user's unstructured notes to:

• List all distinct ideas or points mentioned
• Identify any explicit requirements or constraints
• Note any technical details or dependencies mentioned
• Flag any ambiguous or unclear points

Step 2: Identify the Core Feature

Determine what the main feature is by asking:

• What user problem is being solved?
• What is the primary capability being added?
• If multiple capabilities are mentioned, which is the central one?

Confirm with the user: "Based on your notes, it seems the core feature is [X]. Is that correct?"

Step 3: Organize Related Points

Group the notes into:

• Core feature points: Directly related to the main capability
