Specification Quality Checklist: Full Common Docs Consolidation

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-06-27 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — domain surfaces named (DocFX, frontmatter, page-inventory) are the existing artifacts under consolidation, not new implementation choices
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs (search-time, sprawl reduction)
  • ✅ 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 (0 broken links, 100% URL continuity, generated==committed)
  • ✅ Success criteria are measurable
  • ✅ Success criteria are technology-agnostic (outcome-framed)
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined (primary + 2 exceptions)
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified (moved-doc URL, re-introduced root)
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (Out of Scope section)
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria (mapped to SC-001..007 + NFR thresholds)
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification

Notes

are deferred to the plan phase (the spec flags it in Assumptions).

hygiene slice (FR-011) is independently shippable and not ADR-gated.

  • The link-rewrite component is a bulk path-move; the occurrence map + change_mode: bulk_edit
  • The reconciliation ADR (FR-009 / C-002) is the hard gate before any structural move; the
  • All quality items pass on the first iteration — ready for /spec-kitty.plan.
