Specification Quality Checklist: Templates as Mission Configuration

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-07-16 Mission: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation plan, code structure, or framework choice is prescribed
  • ✅ Focused on maintainer and runtime outcomes defined by issue 2658
  • ✅ Written so the authority boundary and user-visible behavior are understandable without reading source code
  • ✅ 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 describe outcomes rather than an implementation sequence
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions are identified

Mission Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance scenarios or measurable outcomes
  • ✅ User scenarios cover declared mapping, missing mapping, and compatibility behavior
  • ✅ Mission meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ Planning details are deferred to /spec-kitty.plan

Notes

  • Validation completed in one pass against issue 2658, issue 2652, and the two governing mission-type authority ADRs.
  • The unavoidable domain identifiers (MissionType, template_set, and software-dev-default) describe the existing contract under specification; they do not prescribe a new implementation design.
  • The temporary parity scaffold is required as migration evidence but explicitly prohibited from the merge-ready tree.
