Tutorial 16: Create Your Delivery
Hands-on guide to validating specifications and packaging for handoff
Overview
This tutorial walks you through validating your complete design work and creating a delivery package for implementation.
Time: 30-40 minutes Prerequisites: All design work completed (Modules 08-15) Agent: Freya What you'll create: Validated specifications and delivery package
Before You Start
You'll need:
- All your scenario outlines
- All your page specifications
- All your visual prototypes
- Your component documentation (if applicable)
Freya will help you:
- Audit specifications for gaps
- Create delivery documents
- Write acceptance criteria
- Prepare for handoff
Step 1: Run the Validation Audit (10 min)
Start the audit:
You say:
"Please audit my specifications for S01-User-Registration. Check for completeness, traceability, and quality."
Freya audits:
"Auditing S01-User-Registration..."
Review findings:
Freya reports:
## Audit Results: S01-User-Registration
### Completeness
✓ All 3 pages specified
✓ All elements documented
⚠️ P02: Missing "rate limited" error state
✓ Content written (no lorem ipsum)
✓ Interactions described
### Traceability
✓ Connected to Trigger Map
✓ Persona: Felix
✓ Feature: F03-Quick-Signup
⚠️ P03 welcome screen: No business goal reference
### Quality
✓ Object IDs assigned
⚠️ Inconsistent terminology: "sign up" vs "signup"
✓ Accessibility considered
### Testability
⚠️ No acceptance criteria document yet
Resolve issues:
Freya:
"I found 4 issues. Let's resolve them:
- Rate limited error — What message should show?"
You respond:
"'Too many attempts. Please wait 5 minutes before trying again.'"
Freya:
"2. P03 business goal — What goal does the welcome screen serve?"
You respond:
"User activation — converting signup to first meaningful action."
Freya:
"3. Terminology — Should we use 'signup' or 'sign up'?"
You respond:
"'Sign up' as two words for the action verb, 'Signup' as one word for the noun/form name."
Freya updates specifications with fixes.
Step 2: Create Delivery Overview (5 min)
Generate delivery document:
Freya:
"Creating delivery overview for DD01-User-Registration..."
# DD01: User Registration
## Summary
First-time user signup flow enabling new users to create an account
and reach the welcome dashboard.
## Business Context
- Persona: Felix the Full-Stack
- Driving Force: "Want to try before committing"
- Goal: Reduce friction in user acquisition
## Scenarios Included
- S01-User-Registration
## Pages
| ID | Page | Spec | Visual | Status |
|----|------|------|--------|--------|
| P01 | Landing Page | ✓ | ✓ | Ready |
| P02 | Signup Form | ✓ | ✓ | Ready |
| P03 | Welcome Screen | ✓ | ✓ | Ready |
## Components Used
- Button (primary, secondary, ghost)
- Input (text, email, password)
- FormField (wrapper component)
## Technical Dependencies
- Supabase Auth (authentication)
- Supabase Database (user storage)
- Email service (optional verification)
## Design System
- Mode: Building
- Tokens: See D-Design-System/tokens/
- Components: See C-UX-Scenarios/Functional-Components/
## Implementation Notes
- Mobile-first responsive design
- Real-time form validation
- Password strength indicator
- Form data preserved on error
- Keyboard accessible throughout
Step 3: Write Acceptance Criteria (10 min)
Define testable requirements:
Freya guides:
"Let's write acceptance criteria. Starting with the happy path..."
Work through each category:
Happy Path
## Happy Path
### Landing Page
- [ ] "Start Free" button is visible above fold
- [ ] Clicking "Start Free" navigates to signup form
- [ ] Login link navigates to login page
### Signup Form
- [ ] Form displays email and password fields
- [ ] Form displays "Create Free Account" button
- [ ] Button is disabled until form is valid
- [ ] Entering valid email removes email error
- [ ] Entering 8+ character password enables button
- [ ] Clicking submit shows loading state
- [ ] Successful submit navigates to welcome screen
### Welcome Screen
- [ ] Displays user's email address
- [ ] Shows clear next step guidance
- [ ] Provides navigation to main app
Error Handling
## Error Handling
### Validation Errors
- [ ] Empty email: "Email is required"
- [ ] Invalid email format: "Please enter a valid email"
- [ ] Empty password: "Password is required"
- [ ] Password < 8 chars: "Password must be at least 8 characters"
### Server Errors
- [ ] Duplicate email: "This email is already registered. Log in instead →"
- [ ] Server error: "Something went wrong. Please try again."
- [ ] Network error: "Connection lost. Please check your internet."
- [ ] Rate limited: "Too many attempts. Please wait 5 minutes."
### Error Recovery
- [ ] Form data preserved after error
- [ ] User can edit and resubmit
- [ ] Duplicate email links to login flow
Accessibility
## Accessibility
### Keyboard Navigation
- [ ] All interactive elements focusable
- [ ] Focus order matches visual order
- [ ] Focus visible on all elements
- [ ] Enter/Space activates buttons
- [ ] Tab moves through form fields
### Screen Reader
- [ ] All inputs have visible labels
- [ ] Errors announced when they appear
- [ ] Button states announced (loading, disabled)
- [ ] Form submission result announced
### Visual
- [ ] Color contrast passes WCAG AA
- [ ] Text resizable to 200% without breaking
- [ ] Touch targets minimum 44px
Step 4: Organize Delivery Package (5 min)
Create folder structure:
Freya:
"Organizing delivery package..."
E-PRD/Design-Deliveries/
└── DD01-User-Registration/
├── delivery-overview.md
├── acceptance-criteria.md
├── scenarios/
│ └── S01-User-Registration/
│ └── [references to C-UX-Scenarios/S01/]
└── components/
└── [references to C-UX-Scenarios/Functional-Components/]
Verify all links work:
Freya checks:
"Verifying all specification references...
- ✓ P01 landing page spec accessible
- ✓ P02 signup form spec accessible
- ✓ P03 welcome screen spec accessible
- ✓ Visual prototypes accessible
- ✓ Component docs accessible
Delivery package is complete."
Step 5: Final Review (5 min)
The Developer Test:
Freya asks:
"Can a developer who has never seen this project build it correctly from this delivery package?"
Review checklist:
- All pages specified completely
- All states documented
- All content finalized
- All error messages defined
- Acceptance criteria testable
- Visual prototypes match specs
- Dependencies listed
- No ambiguous requirements
Sign off:
Freya:
"Delivery package DD01-User-Registration is validated and ready for handoff to Idunn.
Summary:
- 3 pages specified
- 47 acceptance criteria
- 0 outstanding issues
- 4 components referenced
Design phase complete for this scenario."
Step 6: Handoff to Idunn (2 min)
Prepare handoff message:
Freya generates:
# Design Handoff: DD01-User-Registration
## For: Idunn (Implementation)
## From: Freya (Design)
## Date: [Today]
## Delivery Package
Location: E-PRD/Design-Deliveries/DD01-User-Registration/
## What's Included
- Complete specifications for 3 pages
- Visual prototypes (HTML)
- Component documentation
- Acceptance criteria (47 items)
## Dependencies Needed
- Supabase Auth configured
- User table in database
- Email service (optional)
## Priority
This is the primary user acquisition flow.
Recommend implementing before other scenarios.
## Questions?
Specifications should be complete. If anything is unclear,
the specification needs updating rather than verbal clarification.
---
Design phase complete. Ready for implementation.
What You've Created
Delivery Package:
- Delivery overview — Summary for developers
- Acceptance criteria — Testable requirements
- Organized references — Links to all specs and visuals
Validated:
- All specifications complete
- All gaps resolved
- All content finalized
- All criteria testable
Tips for Success
DO:
- Run the audit before declaring complete
- Resolve all gaps before delivery
- Write specific acceptance criteria
- Reference, don't duplicate
DON'T:
- Skip validation ("it's probably fine")
- Leave vague requirements
- Forget accessibility criteria
- Package without final review
