Specification Quality Checklist: Documentation Mission

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-01-12 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) - Spec mentions doc generators (JSDoc, Sphinx, rustdoc) as requirements, not implementation
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs - Each user story explains value proposition
  • ✅ Written for non-technical stakeholders - Clear language with context for technical terms
  • ✅ All mandatory sections completed - Overview, User Scenarios, Requirements, Success Criteria present

Requirement Completeness

  • ✅ No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain - None present
  • ✅ Requirements are testable and unambiguous - 45 functional requirements, each specific and testable
  • ✅ Success criteria are measurable - 8 success criteria with specific metrics (time, accuracy %, reduction %)
  • ✅ Success criteria are technology-agnostic - Fixed SC-003 to remove tool-specific references
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined - 4 user stories with Given/When/Then scenarios
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified - 6 edge cases covering structure mismatches, missing docs, conflicts
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded - Out of Scope section lists 10 explicitly excluded items
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified - 8 assumptions documented

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria - User scenarios provide testable acceptance criteria
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows - Initial setup (P1), gap-filling (P1), feature docs (P2), multi-language (P3)
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria - 8 measurable outcomes align with requirements
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification - Requirements define WHAT tools to support, not HOW to implement

Validation Summary

Status: ✅ PASSED - All checklist items complete

Spec Statistics:

  • User Stories: 4 (2 P1, 1 P2, 1 P3)
  • Functional Requirements: 45
  • Success Criteria: 8
  • Edge Cases: 6
  • Assumptions: 8
  • Out of Scope Items: 10

Quality Highlights:

  • Comprehensive coverage of Divio documentation system (tutorials, how-to, reference, explanation)
  • Integration with Write the Docs best practices (docs as code, accessibility, bias reduction)
  • Support for automated doc generation (JS, Python, Rust ecosystems)
  • Iterative mission model supporting gap analysis and incremental improvement
  • Clear prioritization of user stories enabling independent development

Ready for: /spec-kitty.plan
