Specification Quality Checklist: Complete Mission Identity Cutover

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-04-06 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

Notes

  • All items pass after review iteration 2. Spec is ready for /spec-kitty.plan.
  • FR-019 (canonical meta.json fields) added after review identified that the spec's own generated metadata still used legacy field names.
  • FR-020 (body queue migration) promoted from risk note to explicit FR after review identified the gap.
  • Scenarios 6-7 added for meta.json and queue migration coverage.
  • The "body_upload_queue has no column named feature_slug" error observed during feature creation is documented as evidence of the partial cutover state in the Assumptions section.
  • Success criterion 5 (grep-based verification) provides a concrete, automated way to validate the "no feature-era surfaces on live paths" requirement.
  • Pending resolution: P1 baseline accuracy -- code verification shows tracker bind, body sync, and pyproject.toml are NOT yet in canonical state on main. Awaiting user confirmation before adjusting the "Already canonical" section.
