Turn a rough draftinto a spec people can read

A first-pass PRD is a brain-dump: a goal line, scattered bullets, a flow that trails off. Khint polishes it into a clear, consistent product spec with a reusable AI action, keeps the context with Memory, and publishes the result to Confluence from the same keyboard shortcut.

For product owners and business analysts. Works in any app: your editor, your wiki, your browser.

The draft is done,
the spec is not

Between “I wrote down what I want” and “the team can review this” sits an hour of unglamorous editing: tightening the goal, making the terminology consistent, filling the sections you skipped, and dragging the open questions out where reviewers will see them. Khint compresses that pass with its three pillars (Agents, Capture, and Memory) wired together behind one palette, so the polish happens where the spec already lives.

One pass, draft to reviewable

Sharpening a rough “Checkout v2” PRD into a spec ready to share.

  1. Open a session for the spec

    Before you open the draft, start a Memory session: call it “Checkout v2 PRD”. Every Action you run is logged to it, and Khint keeps a compact running summary. That summary rides along on each AI Action, so as you polish section after section the model already knows the feature, the constraints, and the decisions you have already locked in.

  2. Select the rough draft where it lives

    Your first pass is a brain-dump: a goal line, some bullets, a flow that trails off. You don't have to move it anywhere. Select the draft in your editor, your Notion page, or a Confluence draft, hit Cmd+Shift+K, and Khint reads exactly what you highlighted, nothing else from the screen. How Agents work →

  3. Run the polish Action

    In Agents, save an Action like “Polish the spec”. No prompt yet? Type a description and press Generate. Khint drafts one that returns a clear problem and goal, consistent terminology, complete sections, and the open questions pulled to the surface. Or clone the Doc Polish starter pack for a working Action. Run it and the tightened spec is pasted back in place.

  4. Fill the gaps and pin the criteria

    Polish flags what is missing; a second Action fills it. Run an acceptance-criteria drafter on the user-facing sections to return Given/When/Then and edge cases, or a summariser to write the TL;DR the reviewers read first. Chaining your polish and criteria Actions into one Workflow turns “rough draft → reviewable spec” into a single keystroke. Acceptance criteria, in one action →

  5. Publish it for review

    When the spec is ready, connect Atlassian and the palette adds a Confluence Create page row. The polished PRD lands as one page the team can read and comment on before the planning meeting. One write per run, so publishing is always deliberate. How integrations work →

Why not just paste the draft into a chatbot?

You can, and for every spec you'll re-paste the product context, restate the structure you want, and copy the result back into the doc by hand. Khint removes the round-trips: the polish Action is saved once and reused on every draft, Memory carries the feature context into every prompt automatically, and the Confluence integration publishes the finished spec where the team will actually read it. Because Actions only see the text you select, plus the session summary you opted into, your unreleased PRD isn't sitting in a chat history.

Common questions

What does Khint actually do to a PRD draft?

A PRD (product requirements document) usually starts as a fast brain-dump: a goal sentence, some bullet fragments, a couple of half-formed user flows. Khint sits behind one shortcut (Cmd+Shift+K) so you can polish it without leaving the doc. Select the rough draft, run a reusable Action, and get back a tightened version: a clear problem and goal up top, consistent terminology, the sections filled in, and the open questions surfaced instead of buried. You stay in your editor, your wiki, or your browser, wherever the PRD already lives.

How is this different from cleaning up a Confluence page?

Confluence cleanup is about an already-published page that has gone messy: stale formatting, duplicated headings, a wall of text someone has to re-skim. PRD polish happens one step earlier: you are sharpening a fresh draft into a spec that is ready to share for review. Khint helps with both, but a polish Action is tuned to upgrade a rough requirements draft to a reviewable standard rather than to reformat existing content. When the spec is ready, you can publish it as a Confluence page from the same palette.

Do I have to write the polish prompt myself?

No. In the Action editor, type a one-line description and press Generate. Khint drafts the prompt; press Improve later to refine it in place. Khint also ships a Doc Polish starter pack you can browse and clone from the Agents page, so you start from a working polish Action without writing anything from scratch.

Where does my unreleased spec text go?

An Action only ever sees the text you selected, plus the compacted summary of your active Memory session if you opted in. Memory sessions live in a local SQLite database on your Mac and are never synced to Khint's servers. Stop the session and the context is closed. Nothing about your roadmap or unreleased spec leaves your device silently.
