     Yes, "specification" is correct.   
      
     It's easy when you want to implement something well-known,   
     like saying, "Please write a parser for expressions with   
     integers and the basic arithmetic operations.".   
      
     But when you design a custom language specifying it with   
     all required details can be as much work as just writing   
     the parser yourself!
