Specification Engineering Emerges as the Critical Skill After Prompting
Prompt engineering taught us to ask better questions, but as LLMs become coding agents and data copilots, merely phrasing prompts no longer guarantees correct results. Specification engineering—writing explicit goals, constraints, validation criteria, and edge‑case handling—ensures outputs are usable, testable, and aligned with business needs. Mastering it will prevent hidden failures and AI gaming.
