Can it help with database design?

Yes, the skill creates detailed data models and schemas, including data types, primary/foreign keys, and relationships in formats like TypeScript interfaces or JSON.

What formats does this skill use for API documentation?

It generates clear, human-readable RESTful API contracts including endpoint paths, request bodies, response schemas, and HTTP status codes.

When should I use the Technical Specification Writer?

Use it at the start of a development cycle or sprint to turn product requirements into a technical roadmap that guides implementation and team collaboration.

Is the technology stack customizable?

Absolutely. While it provides recommendations based on best practices, you can prompt Claude to use specific libraries, frameworks, or version requirements.

API Development

Generates comprehensive technical specifications including system architecture, data models, and API contracts to streamline implementation.

About

The Technical Specification Writer skill empowers developers to bridge the gap between high-level requirements and code-level implementation by creating detailed, structured documentation. It provides standardized templates for defining system architecture, database schemas, RESTful API endpoints, and technology stacks. This skill is particularly useful during the planning phase of a feature or project, ensuring all technical constraints, security considerations, and integration points are clearly documented for the entire development team.
