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 reviewer-owned checklists that act as unit tests for requirements, validating completeness, clarity, consistency, and coverage before implementation begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Requirements Quality Checklists: Generates domain-focused checklists (ux.md, api.md, security.md, performance.md) that test whether requirements are well-written rather than whether code works. - Context-Aware Generation: Loads spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md from the spec-kit feature directory, asks up to three clarifying questions, and appends items with incrementing CHK IDs without overwriting existing content. - Traceability and Governance: Enforces traceability markers ([Gap], [Ambiguity], [Conflict], [Spec §X.Y]) and supports extension hooks via .specify/extensions.yml. - Use Case: Before implementing a new API feature, run the checklist command to produce an api.md checklist verifying that error response formats, rate limits, and authentication requirements are fully specified. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to generate a security requirements checklist for the current spec-kit feature.

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

Run the speckit-checklist command with an optional focus argument, such as a domain like security or UX. It loads the feature's spec, plan, and tasks files, asks clarifying questions, and writes a checklist file into the feature's checklists directory.

What is a requirements quality checklist in spec-kit?

It is a reviewer-owned checklist that tests the quality of written requirements rather than implementation behavior. Items ask whether requirements are complete, clear, consistent, and measurable, using markers like [Gap], [Ambiguity], and [Spec §X.Y] for traceability.

Does speckit-checklist work without a .specify directory?

No, it requires a spec-kit project structure with a .specify directory containing scripts, templates, and feature folders. The setup step runs check-prerequisites.ps1 to resolve the feature directory and checklist template.

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, and existing content is never deleted or replaced.

Why does the checklist avoid items like 'verify the button works'?

Those items test implementation behavior, not requirements quality. The checklist only validates whether requirements themselves are well-specified, so items must ask whether something is defined, quantified, or consistent in the spec.
