Specification Quality Checklist: Matrix-Slack Bridge Integration

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2025-10-22 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

Status: ALL CHECKS PASSED

Detailed Review

Content Quality

  • Specification avoids mentioning specific technologies (NixOS, PostgreSQL mentioned only as dependencies, not implementation)
  • Focus remains on user outcomes: message delivery, reliability, configuration
  • Language accessible to non-technical stakeholders (business-focused success criteria)
  • All mandatory sections present: User Scenarios, Requirements, Success Criteria

Requirement Completeness

  • Zero [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers (all decisions made based on context)
  • All 15 functional requirements are testable (can verify message relay, timing, auth, etc.)
  • Success criteria measurable with specific metrics (5 second delivery, 99% uptime, etc.)
  • Success criteria technology-agnostic (focused on user experience, not tech stack)
  • 16 acceptance scenarios across 4 user stories provide comprehensive coverage
  • 7 edge cases identified with expected behaviors
  • Scope explicitly defines what's in/out with rationale
  • Dependencies documented across technical, external, and process categories

Feature Readiness

  • FR-001 through FR-015 map to user stories and acceptance criteria
  • Four prioritized user stories (P1-P3) cover core flows: Slack→Matrix, Matrix→Slack, reliability, configuration
  • Eight success criteria directly measurable without implementation knowledge
  • No technical leakage: "Socket Mode" and "sops-nix" appropriately mentioned as requirements, not implementation details

Assumptions Validated

The specification makes informed assumptions about:

  • Message volume (< 1000/day per channel) - reasonable for small team
  • Channel count (< 10 initially) - appropriate for MVP
  • Network reliability (>99%) - standard expectation
  • No historical import needed - MVP can start fresh
  • Manual testing sufficient - matches "build it right" philosophy

These assumptions are explicitly documented in the Assumptions section.

Scope Clarity

In-scope and out-of-scope items clearly delineated:

  • Core bidirectional messaging: IN SCOPE
  • Advanced features (threads, reactions, editing): OUT OF SCOPE (explicitly deferred)
  • Single workspace focus: IN SCOPE
  • Multi-workspace: OUT OF SCOPE

This provides clear boundaries for implementation.

Notes

  • Specification is complete and ready for planning phase
  • No clarifications needed from user (all decisions made with reasonable defaults)
  • Feature aligns with Platform Vision Milestone 1
  • Dependencies clearly identified for implementation planning
  • Edge cases provide guidance for error handling design

Recommendation

PROCEED TO PLANNING: Specification meets all quality criteria and is ready for /speckit.plan.

The spec successfully balances:

  • Completeness (all required information present)
  • Clarity (unambiguous requirements)
  • Feasibility (realistic scope for MVP)
  • Flexibility (identified future enhancements)
