Specification Quality Checklist: SPEC_KITTY_HOME State Isolation

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-06-26 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

file paths from the issue's evidence. These are intentionally segregated as non-normative reference material for /spec-kitty.plan traceability (DIRECTIVE_003); the normative requirements (FR/NFR/C) and Success Criteria remain behavior-focused and technology-agnostic. The requirements themselves describe observable outcomes (where state lands, what state doctor reports), not how the code achieves them.

  • Deliberate exception note: The "Affected Surfaces" section lists implementation
  • No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers were needed — the three scope decisions (branch,
