Specification Quality Checklist: Tracker Binding Context Discovery

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-04-04 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — exception: SaaS API consumer contracts (endpoint paths, request/response shapes) are included deliberately as the CLI's contract boundary, not as implementation prescription
  • ✅ 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
  • ✅ Requirement types are separated (Functional / Non-Functional / Constraints)
  • ✅ IDs are unique across FR-###, NFR-###, and C-### entries
  • ✅ All requirement rows include a non-empty Status value
  • ✅ Non-functional requirements include measurable thresholds
  • ✅ 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

  • SaaS API Consumer Contract section includes request/response shapes — these are deliberately included as the CLI's consumer expectations, not implementation details. They define the contract boundary this spec is responsible for. The checklist item "No implementation details" is marked as passing with this noted exception.
  • All discovery questions resolved through structured interview. No deferred decisions.
  • P1/P2 review feedback addressed in revision: separated candidate_token from binding_ref, added stale-binding recovery (Scenarios 11-12, FR-018), host-validated --bind-ref (FR-019, Endpoint 4), deterministic candidate ordering (FR-020/021), split Scenario 7, removed --project-slug as user-facing bind flag.
