Specification Quality Checklist: Backend Architecture Pivot

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning
Created: 2025-12-09
Feature: spec.md
Status: ✅ VALIDATED (2025-12-09)

Content Quality

• No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
• Focused on user value and business needs
• Written for non-technical stakeholders
• 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 details leak into specification

Validation Summary

Date: 2025-12-09
Result: ✅ ALL CHECKS PASSED

Actions Taken:

1. Removed all code examples from spec.md and moved to separate technical-notes.md
2. Rewrote Success Criteria to be technology-agnostic (removed references to Redis, BullMQ, Grep-Search, etc.)
3. Updated Dependencies section to be library-agnostic (e.g., "Job Queue System" instead of "BullMQ")
4. Simplified Technical Notes section to high-level architecture overview only

Quality Improvements:

• Spec is now fully business-focused and stakeholder-friendly
• Technical implementation details isolated in separate document
• Success criteria focus on user-visible outcomes and system behavior
• All mandatory sections complete with clear acceptance scenarios
