Specification Quality Checklist: Tree-wide org-pack chain authority

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

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — note: this is a code-consistency mission, so specific module paths are the subject (named as scope), not leaked implementation choices
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs (single authority; integrity of chain-derived decisions)
  • ✅ Written for maintainer/governance 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/C/SC and match the 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 (outcome-framed, modules named only as scope)
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (exemptions explicit: offering tier, name-paired enumeration, retired module)
  • ✅ 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

Notes

  • Posture classification (strict vs existing-filtered) per caller is deferred to the plan's brownfield scout (NFR-002) — this is a plan-time concern, not a spec gap.
