🗣️ Friendly prompt (copy/paste)

Use this when you are not technical and want the AI to do setup + guidance end-to-end:

Using https://github.com/juanklagos/spec-driven-development-template, create everything needed to carry out my project end-to-end.
My project is: [describe your project in plain language].

If my project is new, initialize it with this template and GitHub Spec Kit.
If my project already exists, adapt it to idea/specs/bitacora without breaking current behavior.
Guide me step by step for my level (beginner/intermediate/advanced), using simple language.
Do not skip specification, plan, tasks, refinement trace, logbook, and validation.

Use this matrix to get consistent outputs from any AI assistant.

Main table

Goal	Base prompt	Expected output
Discover legacy system	“Analyze this existing project, document current behavior, and create idea/IDEA_GENERAL.md + specs/001-... without changing code”	Idea + reverse-engineered baseline spec
Create new spec	“Work from specs/INDEX.md, define the next numbered spec and complete spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md, research.md, history.md”	Complete new specification
Refine existing spec	“Refine the active spec for scope changes, update history.md, and log impact in bitacora”	Updated spec + traceability
Prepare implementation	“From active spec, list risks, testing plan, and prioritized tasks before touching code”	Clear technical plan
Close session	“Generate handoff with status, pending items, and next step in bitacora/handoffs/”	Ready handoff

Recommended universal prompt

Use https://github.com/juanklagos/spec-driven-development-template as the main guide.
Work with the idea/specs/bitacora structure.
Before implementation, validate active spec and traceability.
At the end, leave logbook and handoff updates.

Consistency rules

• One major change = one active spec.
• No implementation without tasks.md.
• If the idea changes, update history.md and logbook.

💡 Quick tips

• Start from a simple one-paragraph project description.
• Ask the AI to confirm the active spec before coding.
• Close every session with validation and a clear next step.
