Specification Quality Checklist: CI Hardening and Lint Cleanup

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-04-09 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
  • ✅ 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 (branch protection coordination, dossier schema drift escalation path)
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (Out of Scope section present)
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows (code PR, docs-only PR, reviewer reads lint output, module-scoped test run)
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification

Notes

All items pass. Specification is ready for /spec-kitty.plan.

Key items for planner to note:

  • WP01–WP05 can be parallelized (independent lint/type fixes)
  • WP06 has a hard dependency on WP01–WP05 (clean baseline for coverage floor calibration)
  • WP07 has a hard dependency on WP06 (per-module job targets must exist before path filters reference them)
  • Branch protection coordination (C-001) is a pre-merge gate for WP07 specifically
  • A3 (dossier test assumption) is the highest-risk assumption — implementer must inspect before editing
