Specification Quality Checklist: Tool-surface projection honesty

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-09-20 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

  • Scope confirmed by operator: #4782 (+llxprt) + #4776 + #4777 + #4134; #2527 and the orientation-refresh split-brain deferred to a new umbrella epic (C-004).
  • Two root-cause seams (session-presence applicability + managed-skills completion re-check) under one honesty anti-pattern; expect ≥2 lanes at finalize.
  • NFR-003/C-003 guard the risk that a Windows-mode fix weakens POSIX correctness.
  • Content-quality note: because the deliverable is CLI repair behavior, the spec names observable command surfaces (upgrade, doctor tool-surfaces --fix, --dry-run) as user-facing behavior; specific modules/functions are deferred to plan.
