The rule

A feature specification describes a new tool or function.

It explains what the feature does and how it works. A specification helps a team build the feature correctly.

A feature specification is a detailed plan. It describes a new part of an AI system. The plan includes how the feature looks and what it does. It also explains how the feature connects to other parts of the AI system. For example, a specification might describe a 'concept lens picker'. This tool helps a user choose ideas. The user selects concepts like 'Hindi' or 'Sanskrit'. The AI then uses these choices to create new content. The specification also lists the steps to build the feature. It names the tools or platforms to use first. It also plans for future growth, like adding more languages or concepts.

A developer is building a new AI writing tool. The developer needs to add a way for users to pick specific cultural styles. The developer writes a feature specification. This specification details a 'style picker' tool. It explains how the picker will look and how it will give choices to the AI. The specification helps the development team understand exactly what to build.
