Specification Quality Checklist: Implement command degod (tidy-first)

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-10-04 Mission: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — seam module names appear because the mission is a structural move; they name the existing domain owners, not a technology choice
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs
  • ✅ Written for non-technical stakeholders (Intent Summary + user stories); requirement rows address maintainers
  • ✅ 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-###, C-### and SC-### entries, and match the requirement-ID grammar
  • ✅ All requirement rows include a non-empty Status value
  • ✅ Non-functional requirements include measurable thresholds
  • ✅ Every FR row and success criterion carries a delivery label and no-op mark
  • ✅ Success criteria are measurable
  • ✅ Success criteria are technology-agnostic (line and patch-site counts are the measurement of the structural goal)
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (C-005)
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified

Mission Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows
  • ✅ Mission meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification beyond the named seams

Notes

  • Grounding: research/code-grounding.md (decisions D1–D10), research/test-remediation.md.
  • Decision Moment 01M4455PBFDASHQ7R9DN5ZQRMW resolved the #5232 shape (option B), with C-007 as the escalation guard.
  • Post-specify squad (architect-alphonso, reviewer-renata) verdicts: accept-with-changes; all HIGH and MEDIUM findings folded into this revision (dispositions recorded in research.md at plan).
