speckit-checklist

To generate a testable checklist from a feature specification, the system reads your spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md files to validate requirement completeness, clarity, and measurability, appending traceable checklist items to a domain-specific markdown file.

Requirements validation for feature specs involves checking that natural language requirements clearly define measurable success criteria, scenario coverage, edge cases, and non-functional requirements before implementation begins, ensuring gaps are marked and addressed.

To ensure your spec covers edge cases and non-functional requirements, generate a checklist that validates primary, alternate, exception, and recovery scenarios, automatically marking any missing domains as gaps in your requirements structure.

Checklist generation works without configured extension hooks, operating purely on the standard spec/plan/tasks structure, but it will optionally run pre-checklist and post-checklist hooks to enrich the workflow if they are available and enabled.

Spec validation for requirements applies to features organized with a spec/plan/tasks structure within a .specify/ project layout, reading your feature directory to produce requirement-focused, traceable checklist statements.

Generated checklist items might not cover exception scenarios if your original specification lacks explicit exception and recovery definitions, causing the validation tool to mark these areas as gaps rather than testing implementation behavior.
