Specification Quality Checklist: Execute Agent Against Test Cases

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2025-11-01 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

Validation Results

Content Quality Review

✅ PASS - Specification is written in plain language without mentioning specific technologies, frameworks, or programming languages. Focus is on user needs and business value.

Requirement Completeness Review

✅ PASS - All requirements are testable and measurable. No clarification markers present. Success criteria are quantifiable and technology-agnostic.

Feature Readiness Review

✅ PASS - 5 user stories with clear priorities, 20 functional requirements, 10 edge cases identified, and comprehensive success criteria defined.

Notes

  • Specification is complete and ready for clarification or implementation planning
  • All user stories are independently testable with clear priorities (P1-P3)
  • Success criteria focus on user-facing metrics (execution time, accuracy, user experience) without implementation details
  • Edge cases comprehensively cover error scenarios, file handling, and configuration issues
  • Assumptions section clearly identifies dependencies on agent engine and evaluation framework
  • Out of scope section helps bound the feature to prevent scope creep
