+# Hello Feature Spec
+
+## Why
+Implement a basic "hello" feature to demonstrate the spec-driven development workflow and establish a foundation for future features.
+
+## What Changes
+- Add a simple hello functionality that outputs a greeting message
+- Create basic structure for handling greeting requests
+- Implement configurable greeting messages
+
+## Impact
+- Affected specs: None (new feature)
+- Affected code: New greeting module/component
+
+## ADDED Requirements
+### Requirement: Greeting Feature
+The system SHALL provide a hello/greeting functionality that responds with a welcome message.
+
+#### Scenario: Success case
+- **WHEN** user requests a greeting
+- **THEN** system returns a friendly "Hello" message
+
+#### Scenario: Custom greeting
+- **WHEN** user provides a name parameter
+- **THEN** system returns a personalized greeting with the name
+
+## MODIFIED Requirements
+None
+
+## REMOVED Requirements
+None
