Specification Quality Checklist: Global Settings and Response Format Configuration

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2025-10-25 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
  • 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

All checklist items are complete. The specification is ready for clarification or implementation planning.

Validation Summary: - 4 user stories prioritized (P1: US1, US2, US4; P2: US3) - 21 functional requirements covering global settings, response format, inheritance, and validation - 9 measurable success criteria with specific metrics - 5 edge cases identified and addressed - Clear inheritance model defined (agents override global settings) - Both inline and file-based response format support specified - Comprehensive error handling and validation requirements

Quality Assessment: ✅ READY FOR NEXT PHASE

This specification is technology-agnostic, focused on user needs, and provides clear testable requirements that will support robust implementation planning.
