The benefit of this AI request

Set a clear definition of done for every feature. When you enter this request, the AI assistant reviews the information in the feature definition and generates a set of acceptance criteria. It considers the primary user flow as well as edge cases and constraints. This helps the team align on how new functionality should work to deliver a lovable user experience. It also reduces scope creep and establishes test cases. Layer on custom instructions to follow the approach your organization uses (such as the "Given that [some context], when [some action is carried out], then [a set of observable outcomes should occur]" template).
