speckit-checklist

Generate unit-test style checklists for software requirements to validate quality attributes like completeness, clarity, consistency, and testability. These checklists assess your feature descriptions against specific quality criteria.

A requirements quality checklist is a structured set of validation items ensuring software specifications are complete, clear, consistent, and measurable. You need one when finalizing feature requirements to catch gaps before implementation.

Apply the checklist generator to a feature description within a FEATURE_DIR. It loads spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md when present to derive context and produce targeted checklist items with traceability references.

Yes, the tool manages a checklists repository by creating or appending to checklists subdirectories. It organizes items into domain-focused CHK IDs and references spec sections using a unified template.

The tool expects a FEATURE_DIR containing a feature description, and optionally loads spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md files. It uses these files to derive context and output targeted checklist items.

Use generated checklists that include CHK IDs and traceability references like [Spec §X.Y]. This links every unit-test style validation item directly to the relevant specification section.
