Design a Feature AI Can Execute Without Guessing
From specification to feature-ready plan
7 lessons24 minFree Oct 10 to 11
Lesson 1 is free now. Free Oct 10 to 11 (opens Fri 22:00 CEST) with a free account.
What's inside
- Why AI-assisted planning reduces scope creep
- The planning-to-implementation pipeline
- What you'll build in this workflow
What you'll gain
Define every feature so precisely that AI executes it without guessing.
- Starting from a product spec, you'll create a technical architecture, break features into implementable tasks, organize sprints, and identify risks — using AI to validate decisions and catch blind spots.
When to use it
- You have a spec and need to plan implementation
- Breaking down complex features into manageable tasks
- Need to estimate timelines and identify risks
You'll reach for it: Every feature or sprint cycle

Give Every Feature Its Own Spec
In this lesson, you'll take a single feature from a feature list and turn it into a clear, standalone specification.
3 minFree
2Lock In Technical Decisions Before AI Makes Them for You
In this lesson, you'll make technical decisions for the feature. This gives you a clear blueprint that you can later turn into structural guardrails before AI starts implementing.
3 min
3Choosing What's Out of Scope
In this lesson, you'll break a feature into small, manageable implementation steps.
3 min
4Break the Feature into Steps You Can Review
Break features into logical, deployable implementation steps that enable safer code reviews, early validation, and reduced risk when working with AI agents.
3 min
5Preview How AI Will Build Each Step
In this lesson, you'll optionally test-run your implementation steps by generating AI agent prompts, giving you a first glimpse of how the AI will implement the feature based on your plan.
4 min
6Why Add Tests Before Features?
In this lesson, we'll demonstrate why writing tests upfront (even AI generated tests) can be better than tests as an afterthought.
3 min
7Write Your Test Plan Before the Code
In this lesson, you'll generate a high-level test plan for the feature, the set of tests you'd feel safe letting AI work against.
