## Prompt

```text
Help me write the requirements for a feature that uses an AI model.

**Feature and user problem:** [DESCRIPTION]
**What the AI does:** [e.g. summarizes tickets, drafts replies, classifies documents, answers questions from our help docs]
**Inputs it sees:** [DATA SOURCES, USER INPUT]
**Who sees the output and what they do with it:** [USER, ACTION TAKEN]
**Cost of a wrong output:** [LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH, WITH EXAMPLE]

Write these sections:
1. Expected behavior: what good output looks like, with 3 example input-output pairs I can confirm, plus what the AI must never do.
2. Failure modes: hallucinated facts, wrong tone, biased or unsafe output, prompt injection from user content, outdated information, slow responses, and refusals. Rate likelihood and impact for this feature.
3. Evaluation plan: a test set (how many cases, which scenarios, including edge and adversarial cases), quality criteria with a scoring rubric, and the pass bar before launch.
4. User experience safeguards: showing sources, labeling AI content, easy editing or undo, feedback controls, and human review where the stakes are high.
5. Monitoring after launch: quality sampling, user feedback signals, cost and latency limits, and a kill switch.
6. Data and privacy questions to settle with security and legal.

Do not assume model capabilities or accuracy figures; mark them [TEST] or [CONFIRM WITH ENGINEERING].
