Specification Quality Checklist: Universal Charter Rename (Revised)

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-04-04 (revised after review feedback) 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
  • ✅ 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

Review Feedback Resolution

  • ✅ Issue 1 (P1): migration_id exception resolved — old IDs changed to charter, metadata normalization bridges old records; NFR-001 defines precisely bounded 2-file exception
  • ✅ Issue 2 (P1): User metadata normalized — metadata load rewrites old IDs, charter-rename migration also rewrites metadata.yaml
  • ✅ Issue 3 (P1): Generated content rewriting added — FR-015, migration Phase 2 rewrites embedded references
  • ✅ Issue 4 (P1): Old migration safety resolved — DD-1 converts them to stubs (detect→False), charter-rename subsumes all functionality
  • ✅ Issue 5 (P1): Doctrine mission artifacts added — Surface 10 in spec, 9 files enumerated in plan WP04
  • ✅ Issue 6 (P1): Worktree/runtime state accounted for — Surface 11, FR-016, worktree.py + manager.py + init.py in WP02, Scenario 7 added
  • ✅ Issue 7 (P2): Documentation surface expanded — Surface 8 now lists 30+ files with match counts, WP08 enumerates all

Notes

  • All items pass. Spec and plan are ready for /spec-kitty.tasks.
  • The 2-file backward-compatibility exception (charter-rename migration + metadata normalization map) is the irreducible minimum for detecting old filesystem state and bridging old metadata IDs. Both are precisely bounded in NFR-001 and C-006/C-007.
