Specification Quality Checklist: Frontmatter History to Canonical JSONL

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-02-09 Feature: spec.md

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

Notes

  • All items pass. Spec is ready for /spec-kitty.plan or /spec-kitty.tasks.
  • Format B was explicitly investigated and confirmed absent from the codebase (0 of 203 WP files). Spec correctly scopes to Format A only.
  • Backport readiness artifacts are included in DoD to bridge the 2.x -> 0.x handoff.
