Specification Quality Checklist: CLI Startup Readiness Coordinator Skeleton

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-05-22 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
  • Note: the spec mentions specific module paths (e.g. src/specify_cli/readiness/coordinator.py) because this mission's deliverable IS a module at a specific path; that is a contract, not implementation detail. The spec also mentions is_saas_sync_enabled() because that gate is the operating-rule first-check. Functional behavior is described in business-stakeholder language elsewhere.
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs (operator workflows: public user, dev operator, JSON consumer, existing-nag user, future implementer)
  • ✅ Written for non-technical stakeholders (Domain Language section defines terms; journeys are operator-level)
  • ✅ All mandatory sections completed (Overview, Journeys, Domain Language, FR, NFR, Constraints, Goals, Non-Goals, Acceptance Criteria, Assumptions, References)

Requirement Completeness

  • ✅ No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
  • ✅ Requirements are testable and unambiguous (each FR has a check-by-grep or check-by-test path)
  • ✅ Requirement types are separated (Functional / Non-Functional / Constraints)
  • ✅ IDs are unique across FR-001..FR-012, NFR-001..NFR-005, C-001..C-010
  • ✅ All requirement rows include a non-empty Status value (Active)
  • ✅ Non-functional requirements include measurable thresholds (≤1ms / ≤2ms p50; ≥90% coverage; mypy --strict passes; zero outbound network calls)
  • ✅ Success criteria are measurable (10 numbered acceptance criteria, each with a green-light condition)
  • ✅ Success criteria are technology-agnostic (the seam contract, not the implementation language)
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined (5 journeys cover every code path)
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified (defensive double-invocation, ctx.obj is None, ctx.obj is not a dict, exception swallowing)
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (Out-of-scope enumerates WS2 through WS7 as downstream missions)
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified (5 explicit assumptions; references list existing helpers)

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria (1:1 or 1:N mapping between FR and AC)
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows (5 journeys)
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria (10 acceptance criteria; 7-row test matrix)
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification (paths and the named gate are contractual; no language-level constructs beyond the dataclass shape and a function signature)

Notes

  • All checklist items pass on first iteration. No spec updates required for validation.
  • Bulk-edit classification: NOT bulk-edit. This mission creates a new package and adds a single hook line in helpers.py. No identifier rename across files.
