# Spec Writing
## Overview
Spec Writing provides guidance on authoring effective `specs.md` files that drive the Sprint plugin's autonomous development workflow. A well-written specification determines the quality of agent output by clearly defining goals, scope boundaries, and testing requirements.
## Prerequisites
- Sprint plugin installed (`/plugin install sprint`)
- Project onboarding completed via `/sprint:setup` (creates `project-goals.md` and `project-map.md`)
- Sprint directory created via `/sprint:new` (generates `.claude/sprint/[N]/specs.md`)
- Understanding of the sprint phase lifecycle (see the `sprint-workflow` skill)
## Instructions
