Specification Quality Checklist: MVP CLI Sync Boundary Completion

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-05-18 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) in user-facing scenarios and success criteria
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs
  • ✅ Written for non-technical stakeholders (with a Key Entities pointer for engineers)
  • ✅ 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
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified (non-empty scoped DB; orphan daemon record; body uploads vs events)
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (Phase 2 CLI only; Phases 1, 3, 4 explicitly out of scope)
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows and the five named edge scenarios
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification user-facing sections

Notes

  • Code-reference fingerprints (file paths and line numbers from start-here.md) are intentionally retained in the planning input but kept out of spec.md user-facing sections; they belong in plan.md and tasks.md.
  • Force-required review-rejection rollback is treated as a settled upstream contract (Phase 1 deliverable), not a clarification owed by this spec.
  • Verification commands and exact code references are deferred to plan.md.
