# Specification Quality Checklist: Monitoring Surface Action Hierarchy and Workbench Semantics **Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning **Created**: 2026-04-11 **Feature**: [spec.md](../spec.md) ## Content Quality - [x] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) - [x] Focused on user value and business needs - [x] Written for non-technical stakeholders - [x] All mandatory sections completed ## Requirement Completeness - [x] No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain - [x] Requirements are testable and unambiguous - [x] Success criteria are measurable - [x] Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details) - [x] All acceptance scenarios are defined - [x] Edge cases are identified - [x] Scope is clearly bounded - [x] Dependencies and assumptions identified ## Feature Readiness - [x] All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria - [x] User scenarios cover primary flows - [x] Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria - [x] No implementation details leak into specification ## Notes - Validation completed in one pass. - No clarification markers remain in the specification. - Required operator-surface contract and UI action matrix sections are present and bounded to action hierarchy semantics rather than implementation design.
