Specification Quality Checklist: Consistent Mission-Handle Resolution

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-09-18 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

  • Two discovery decisions resolved and recorded: single-mission bare-next auto-selects (DM 01M2TPXRFZGTW6562ZFEZH0Z7Z); available-missions listing shows slug + mid8 + friendly_name (DM 01M2TPY0RC30KYGC27EDJ77F7H).
  • Spec keeps implementation detail out of the FR/NFR/C/SC bodies. The code-level root causes and fix surface (specific modules/functions from the two research briefs) are deliberately deferred to /spec-kitty.plan, not encoded here.
  • Requirement counts: FR-001..FR-013, NFR-001..NFR-004, C-001..C-004, SC-001..SC-004. All statuses Open.
