Specification Quality Checklist: Degod tasks.py (Wave 1)

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-07-01 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — note: this is a refactor mission, so the domain is inherently structural; technical specifics (ports, decision cores) live in Constraints/WP-shape, and the FRs/SCs stay outcome-focused (non-rippling, testable, behavior-preserving).
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs (stop the change-ripple; stable, testable units; the friction cure)
  • ✅ Written for stakeholders (the "user" is the contributor; value framed as stability + reviewability)
  • ✅ 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 (behavior parity, one-unit-per-change, CI-run coverage)
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined (primary, exception, behavior-parity edge)
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified (coord exit-0 skip arm; the cross-command inconsistency)
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (Non-Goals + C-006)
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria (mapped to SCs + the golden test)
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification (beyond the unavoidable structural vocabulary of a refactor, kept in Constraints)

Notes

  • Refactor caveat: a decomposition mission is inherently structural, so the spec names ports/cores as domain entities; the FRs and SCs remain outcome-oriented and behavior-preserving (the golden characterization test is the anchor).
  • Pre-planning research (3-lens inventory + validated 6-WP degod map) is carried, not re-derived — see docs/plans/degod-unshim-inventory.md.
