Specification Capture Mode
Specification Capture Mode provides TWO DISTINCT AI prompt types designed to help corporate teams capture and refine requirements that development teams can confidently implement.
Text Enhancement improves clarity and grammar. Task Refinement expands completeness and implementation readiness. Both are essential tools for corporate teams managing complex development workflows and detailed requirements gathering.

Two Distinct AI Prompt Types
Text Enhancement
Improves grammar, sentence structure, clarity, and conciseness while maintaining the user's original intent, tone, and technical detail level. Perfect for polishing rough drafts and voice transcriptions.
- Preserves original meaning and intent
- Fixes grammar and punctuation
- Improves sentence flow and readability
- Maintains technical accuracy
Task Refinement
Expands task descriptions by identifying implied requirements, filling in overlooked gaps, clarifying expected behavior and edge cases, and adding technical considerations to make tasks more complete and implementation-ready.
- Identifies implied requirements
- Clarifies edge cases and constraints
- Adds technical implementation details
- Makes tasks actionable for developers
Both prompt types leverage large language models to enhance content while preserving the original intent and core meaning of user input. This ensures your specifications remain true to your vision while becoming clearer and more complete.
Why corporate teams use Specification Capture Mode
Vague requirements lead to wrong implementations
AI generates code based on unclear task descriptions, missing critical constraints and edge cases.
Rewriting task descriptions wastes time
Manual refinement of ambiguous descriptions slows down planning and creates misalignment.
Mental models get lost in translation
What you envision doesn't match what gets written down, leading to implementation drift.
How it works
Highlight any text in your task description or code editor. A popover appears instantly.
Improve: Quick style/clarity fixes. Refine Task: Deep contextual enhancement with project files.
Claude Sonnet 3.5 analyzes with project files, directory structure, and customizable prompts.
Improved text replaces selection automatically. Preserves formatting and cursor position.
Key capabilities
Context-aware refinement
AI understands your project structure, included files, and custom instructions when refining text.
Customizable system prompts
Define per-project prompts with placeholders for file contents, directory tree, and custom instructions.
Mental model capture
Iterative refinement helps AI understand your intent. Select → refine → refine again until perfect.
Instant application
Non-streaming processing for speed. Results applied directly with conflict detection to protect your edits.
Common use cases
Clarify vague requirements before planning
Turn "fix the auth bug" into specific steps with edge cases, affected services, and validation checks.
Expand abbreviated notes into full context
Convert shorthand like "refactor user svc" into detailed task with constraints, dependencies, and rollback plan.
Refine task descriptions for team alignment
Ensure task descriptions are clear for reviewers and downstream implementation.
