Systematically set up a new feature from initial planning through to implementation structure.
Steps
Define requirements
Clarify feature scope and goals within context of existing features
Identify user stories and acceptance criteria
Plan technical approach within context of existing architecture
Add or extend functional requirements in docs/prds/prd.md (and docs/technical/ for design); avoid new standalone PRD files unless the product owner explicitly splits them.
Create feature branch
Branch from main/develop
Set up local development environment if needed
Configure any new dependencies
Plan architecture
Design data models, logic, and APIs within context of existing codebase
Plan UI components and flow
Consider testing strategy
Feature Setup Checklist
Requirements documented
User stories written
Technical approach planned
Feature branch created
Development environment ready
