Specification Quality Checklist: HoloDeck Deploy Command

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-01-24 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 Summary

Status: ✅ PASSED

All checklist items pass validation:

  1. Content Quality: The spec focuses on what users need (build, push, deploy containers) without specifying implementation technologies. The YAML configuration schema in the user's input was translated into functional requirements about what the system must do, not how.

  2. Requirement Completeness:

  3. 26 functional requirements are clearly defined and testable
  4. 7 success criteria are measurable and technology-agnostic
  5. 5 edge cases identified with expected behaviors
  6. Clear assumptions and out-of-scope items documented

  7. Feature Readiness:

  8. 4 user stories with 16 acceptance scenarios total
  9. Each story is independently testable
  10. Clear priority ordering (P1-P4) enables MVP delivery

Notes

  • The spec is ready for clarification or implementation planning
  • No clarification questions were needed - the user's input was comprehensive
  • Made reasonable defaults for retry behavior, exit codes, and port configuration based on industry standards
