Specification Quality Checklist: Local Mission Dossier Authority & Parity Export

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-02-21 Feature: spec.md Status: PASSED

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 (curator inspection, SaaS sync, dashboard detail, filtering)
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification

Validation Notes

Content Quality: Spec is purely user/business focused. No code samples, no framework names, no API implementation details beyond endpoint names (which are behavior descriptions, not technical specs).

Requirements: All 11 FR items are testable. Each has associated acceptance scenarios or test criteria. No ambiguous language.

Success Criteria: All 7 SC items are measurable:

  • SC-001: Response time (500ms) + artifact count (>30) = quantified
  • SC-002: Determinism = byte-for-byte hash reproducibility
  • SC-003: Event emission + count = observable
  • SC-004: Zero silent omissions across 100 tests = measurable
  • SC-005: Scaling = linear artifact count, 1000 artifact limit = quantified
  • SC-006: Reproducibility across machines = deterministic hash
  • SC-007: Robustness to encoding = handled consistently = observable

User Scenarios: 4 prioritized stories, each independently testable and valuable:

Each story has clear acceptance scenarios with Given/When/Then format.

  • P1: Curator inspection + SaaS sync (foundational)
  • P2: Dashboard detail + filtering (high-value UX)

Edge Cases: 5 identified scenarios with explicit handling rules (no silent failures).

Assumptions: 7 clearly documented (manifest-driven, SHA256, order-independent hash, sync stability, optional provenance, SaaS storage role, file stability).

Scope Boundaries: Out-of-Scope section explicitly lists 6 non-goals (SaaS UI, replay, git replacement, full-text search, real-time sync, versioning).

No Clarifications Required: The PRD and discovery provided comprehensive input. Artifact classes defined, event payloads provided, mission phases clarified, manifests approach confirmed.

Sign-Off

✅ SPECIFICATION READY FOR PLANNING

This specification is:

  • Complete (all mandatory sections filled)
  • Unambiguous (zero clarification markers)
  • Testable (every requirement has measurable acceptance criteria)
  • Bounded (clear scope + out-of-scope)
  • Aligned with discovery (target branch 2.x, expected artifact manifests, 4 canonical events, 4 API endpoints)

Next Phase: /spec-kitty.plan to design work packages, dependency graph, and implementation sequence.
