The "I thought you meant…" problem
Most handoffs fail because founders skip what developers need: a clear problem statement, explicit scope (in and out), and acceptance criteria. The spec pack gives you a PRD template, scope document, decision framework, and 20 questions to ask your developer — so you define it once, in writing, before anyone writes code.
A developer builds what they understand. They understand what you write down.

Who it's for
Non-technical founders about to hire a developer or hand a brief to an agency. Also technical founders using AI (Cursor, Bolt, Lovable) who want cleaner specs before prompting. You don't need to code — you need to write down what you want so someone (human or AI) can build the right thing.

Written by Miguel Feliciano — 25 years of engineering, 5+ SaaS products built. This spec pack is what I wish every founder had before the first handoff: clear PRD, explicit scope, and the right questions so alignment happens on paper, not in rework.
FAQ
Is this only for non-technical founders?
No. Technical founders using AI (Cursor, Bolt, Lovable) benefit from cleaner specs before prompting.
Will this work for AI-assisted builds?
Yes. Chapter 7 is specifically about handing off to AI tools.
What format is the download?
PDF (light theme, print-friendly) + template docs in plain text format.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. This is written for founders without engineering backgrounds.
What if I've already hired a developer?
Even better timing — the scope document and dev questions will save you from misalignment mid-build.
What to define before you write a line of code.
