# PM Spec Writing Take an idea (often vague) and turn it into a specification a developer or AI agent can actually build from. Stack-agnostic.

If the idea is vague, the workflow's first step is clarification. Do not write specs around vagueness. --- ## The framework: 4 phases Every PM workflow follows the same arc. The phases are universal even if the specific outputs vary. ### Phase 1: Clarify the idea Before any spec, answer four questions.
