SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing clear, complete, and testable requirements is hard, and gaps or ambiguities in specs surface late as costly rework. This Skill generates custom checklists that act as unit tests for requirements writing, validating the quality of your feature specifications before implementation begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Requirements Quality Validation: Generates checklist items that test completeness, clarity, consistency, measurability, and coverage of requirements rather than implementation behavior. - Domain-Focused Checklists: Creates or appends to short-named checklist files (e.g., ux.md, api.md, security.md) inside the feature's checklists directory with globally incrementing CHK IDs. - Interactive Clarification: Derives up to three contextual clarifying questions from your input and spec signals to calibrate scope, depth, audience, and risk emphasis. - Use Case: Before handing a feature spec to developers, run this Skill with a focus area like "security" to produce a reviewer-owned checklist verifying that authentication, data protection, and breach-response requirements are fully specified. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to generate a security-focused requirements checklist for the current feature using the speckit-checklist skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a requirements checklist for a feature spec?▼

Invoke the speckit-checklist skill with a domain or focus area as the argument, such as security or ux. It loads your feature's spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md, asks clarifying questions, then creates or appends to a checklist file in the feature's checklists directory.

What is a requirements quality checklist in spec-kit?▼

It is a reviewer-owned review artifact that acts as unit tests for requirements writing. Each item questions whether requirements are complete, clear, consistent, and measurable, rather than verifying that the implementation works correctly.

Does speckit-checklist work without a spec-kit project structure?▼

No, it requires a spec-kit project with a .specify directory containing the check-prerequisites script and checklist template. It also reads feature documents like spec.md from the current feature directory.

Can I create multiple checklists for the same feature?▼

Yes, each invocation uses a short descriptive filename like ux.md or api.md. If the file already exists, new items are appended with continuing CHK IDs; existing content is never deleted or replaced.

Why does the checklist not mark items as checked?▼

Checkbox state belongs to the reviewer, not the generator. The skill only creates unchecked items; a reviewer marks [x] after determining each requirements-quality criterion is satisfied.
