Specification Quality Checklist: Baseline Capture Truthful Outcomes and Upstream Guardrails
Purpose: Capture specification completeness and quality at planning handoff, while keeping post-plan status notes aligned with the current artifact set
Created: 2026-04-23
Feature: spec.md
Content Quality
- No implementation algorithms, code diffs, or migration steps
- Focused on user value and business needs
- Repo-specific constitutional and surface-contract references remain intentional and bounded
- All mandatory sections completed
Requirement Completeness
- No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
- Requirements are testable and unambiguous
- Success criteria are measurable
- Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
- All acceptance scenarios are defined
- Edge cases are identified
- Scope is clearly bounded
- Dependencies and assumptions identified
Feature Readiness
- All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
- User scenarios cover primary flows
- Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
- No implementation algorithms or file-by-file execution steps leak into specification
Notes
- This checklist records the spec's readiness at planning handoff;
plan.md,research.md,data-model.md,quickstart.md, andtasks.mdnow exist as the implementation-facing artifacts for this feature. - Repo-specific constitutional contract references are intentional and bounded; the spec still avoids implementation algorithms, code diffs, migration steps, and file-by-file implementation plans.
- No clarification markers remain, and the current scope is fully aligned across spec, plan, tasks, and supporting artifacts for implementation.
