Why this helps
Devs start coding from vague requirements, features get built wrong, expensive rework consumes the sprint
- Clear requirements before development starts
- Reduced scope creep and rework
- Developer confidence in implementation
- QA knows what to test for
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Carbone integrations to Notis
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a dev issue is created, generate a technical specification with sections for requirements, edge cases, dependencies, and acceptance criteria'
- 3Notis pulls issue title, description, and acceptance criteria to pre-populate the spec
- 4Set 'Issue Created' as trigger and notify your engineering channel when specs are generated
- 5Review a generated spec with your dev team to add any missing sections specific to your tech stack
Questions about this workflow
Can specs include API documentation and schema requirements?
Yes. Tell Notis what to include: 'Add API endpoint details, request/response examples, and database schema impact' and it will generate that in the spec.
What if requirements change mid-sprint?
Update the Linear issue and regenerate the spec. Carbone keeps version history so you can track what changed and why.
Can QA use the generated spec to create test cases?
Absolutely - that's the goal. The spec becomes the source of truth for both development and QA, reducing test gaps.
