Specification Quality Checklist: Remove hidden --feature alias from user-facing CLI commands

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-06-26 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. Spec is ready for /spec-kitty.plan.

Key notes for planning:

  • FR-001 and FR-002 are the core removal work; they should be sequenced together per command.
  • FR-003 and FR-004 (guard preservation) are blocking safety requirements for each command changed.
  • FR-007 and FR-008 (guard update + regression tests) are the verification closure; they depend on FR-001–FR-006.
  • FR-005 (_legacy_aliases.py) is a pre-implementation verification step, not a code change (the file is already absent).
  • C-001 defines the exact file scope; implementers must not touch out-of-scope files.
