Specification Quality Checklist: Implement-Loop Commit & Move-Task Hardening

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-07-15 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details that constrain the design (code loci are scope anchors for a brownfield fix/degod, behavior stated in FRs)
  • ✅ Focused on user value (reliable loop from any cwd; single placement authority)
  • ✅ Written for stakeholders (Purpose is legible; technical detail confined to Domain/Entities)
  • ✅ 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 (outcome-focused)
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (Out of Scope pins the #2160 boundary)
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows (5 WPs → 4 acceptance scenarios)
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification beyond scope anchors

Notes

anchors, not prescribed implementation. Squad-validated structure (planner-priti): 5 WPs in 2 file-linearized lanes.

  • Brownfield mission bundling 4 sub-issues of #2160; code loci recorded as scope
