Specify a Web Interface

Specify one interface a named person can use for one action. A specification is output. Adoption remains unproved.

Use when. The beneficiary, action, and owner are known, but the interface is not yet specified.

Do not use when. The person, action, or owner is missing, or you want the model to build or publish.

Your input. Named person and action; proof the page may show; constraints; current states; named owner.

Your quality check. Person, action, proof, empty state, and error state are explicit. Build and publish stay blank.

Put this to work

Prepare one interface specification

For the named product owner

Copy this prompt. Paste it with the relevant source material into Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI assistant, then review the result before acting.

# Role and job
Help a named human owner prepare one Interface specification for Specify a Web Interface.

# Outcome
Produce one Interface specification. Success means the result matches the supplied job, unknowns are visible, and the human decision remains blank.

# Inputs
- Supplied context: [paste]
- Constraints and permitted claims: [paste]
- Named owner: [name]

# Boundaries
You may draft, compare, and expose gaps. Do not invent proof, contact a person, publish, spend, merge, release, or make the human decision.

# Output
Return the Interface specification; assumptions; unknowns; risks; and the exact human decision required.

# Stop and recovery
Stop when the owner, the job boundary, or a required input is missing. Return the blocker and the smallest missing input.

# Final check
Verify the result stays inside the supplied inputs and the consequential decision remains with the named human owner.

Human decision — cannot be delegated. Accept the specification, revise it, or stop. AI may draft only. No clinic CTA.

Outcome

One interface specification covering person, action, proof, states, and the human decision.

Use When

Use when the beneficiary, action, and owner are known, but the interface is not yet specified.

Inputs

Named person and action; proof the page may show; constraints; current states; named owner.

Recipe

Copy the prompt. Paste only supplied material. Leave the human decision blank.

Human and AI Control

An assistant may draft and report. Named product owner accepts the specification and controls build, publication, and spend. The tool is a player, not the job.

Output and Handoff

Return the Interface specification and the blank human decision.

Evidence and Stop

Demand is hypothesized and the outcome is untested. Stop when the owner, the job boundary, or a required input is missing.

Reliability

Skill and tool: interface specification using a private drafting assistant. The Interface specification is the pattern; one action and human acceptance before build is the protocol. Retain the returned brief as evidence. Accept only a result the named human can verify against the supplied inputs.

Next

Return the result to the named owner. Do not register autonomous execution until a completed prompt trial and an accepted execution contract exist.
