About this skill

Requirements quality checklist

--strict validation proves a spec is well-FORMED; it doesn't prove it's well-SPECIFIED. This skill generates a tailored checklist and grades the change against it, so gaps in clarity or coverage surface before code — not in review.

When to use

  • At the sdd-feature-flow human approval gate, to decide whether to approve the spec.
  • Before /opsx:apply or launching implementation on any non-trivial change.

Procedure

  1. Read the change: openspec/changes/<id>/proposal.md, design.md, tasks.md, and the delta spec(s); plus openspec/project.md (the constitution) if present.
  2. Generate the checklist, tailored to what this change touches. Cover at least:
    • Completeness — is every stated requirement addressed by the design AND the tasks? Are error/empty/edge cases specified, not just the happy path? Are non-goals explicit?
    • Clarity — is each requirement testable and unambiguous (SHALL/MUST, concrete values)? Any "should probably / TBD / etc." that hides a real decision?
    • Consistency — do proposal, design, tasks and delta agree? Any contradiction in scope, data model, or naming? Does anything violate the constitution?
    • Testability — does each requirement have a scenario or a task that would fail if the requirement were unmet? Is the verification path concrete?
    • Assumptions — is every load-bearing assumption either confirmed or flagged as an open question (NOT silently baked in)?
  3. Grade each item pass / fail / n-a with a one-line reason, and list the fails first.
  4. Recommend: approve as-is, approve with the listed fixes, or send back for revision.

Output

A compact table (item · verdict · reason), fails first, then a one-line recommendation. Read-only — this skill changes no files; it produces the checklist and the verdict.
