Specification Quality Checklist: CLI Interview Decision Moments

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-04-23 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details beyond what the product is
  • ✅ Focused on user value (ask-time paper trail, idempotency, local-first)
  • ✅ Written for stakeholders (mission owners + downstream consumers)
  • ✅ All mandatory sections completed

Requirement Completeness

  • ✅ No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
  • ✅ Requirements testable and unambiguous
  • ✅ Requirement types separated (FR/NFR/C)
  • ✅ IDs unique across FR/NFR/C
  • ✅ All rows have Status
  • ✅ NFRs have measurable thresholds (200ms p95, 90% coverage, 10% suite-regression cap)
  • ✅ Success criteria measurable (SC-1..SC-7)
  • ✅ Success criteria technology-agnostic where user-facing
  • ✅ 8 acceptance scenarios + edge cases defined
  • ✅ Scope bounded (V1 charter+specify+plan only; widening/saas/tasks out)
  • ✅ Dependencies + assumptions identified

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ Every FR has clear acceptance criteria (via scenarios + edge cases)
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows (charter, specify, plan, defer, cancel, Other, idempotency, verify, local-first)
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes in SC-1..SC-7
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into spec (implementation details intentional where they're load-bearing: CLI subgroup shape, file paths, event log name — these are product contracts)

Notes

  • All items pass on first validation. Ready for /spec-kitty.plan.
