speckit-checklist

Generating testable checklists from feature specs involves parsing natural language requirements, plans, and tasks to validate completeness, clarity, and consistency. It produces measurable, scenario-aware checklist items that exclude implementation verification and focus strictly on requirement quality.

Requirements traceability and scenario coverage validation checks for missing scenario classes like alternate, exception, and recovery paths. It ensures most checklist items reference spec sections while clearly marking any gaps, conflicts, ambiguities, or assumptions found in the feature context.

Yes, you can validate acceptance criteria quality before PR review by applying this to requirement authoring workflows. It evaluates requirement completeness, clarity, consistency, and measurability, producing unit tests for requirements that help ensure spec validation prior to implementation.

PowerShell is required as a dependency to execute the spec validation checklist generation. The skill uses it to run the generation logic against your feature directory, reading the spec-kit structure to produce the requirements-quality checklist items.

A key limitation of using unit tests for requirements validation is that they explicitly exclude implementation verification. The checklist focuses solely on spec completeness, acceptance-criteria quality, and edge-case coverage, meaning it will not validate whether the actual code functions correctly.
