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 measurability 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. - Spec-Kit Integration: Reads spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md from the feature directory, applies the canonical checklist template, and appends items with incrementing CHK IDs without overwriting existing content. - Clarifying Questions & Traceability: Derives up to five contextual clarifying questions and enforces traceability markers like [Gap], [Ambiguity], and [Spec §X.Y] on at least 80% of items. - Use Case: Before implementing a new API feature, run the checklist command with a security focus to produce security.md containing items like "Are rate limiting requirements quantified with specific thresholds?" for PR reviewers to validate. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant 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 spec-kit feature?▼

Invoke the speckit-checklist command with a domain or focus area as the argument, such as security or ux. The skill reads the feature's spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md, 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 checklist that acts as unit tests for requirements writing. Items ask whether requirements are complete, clear, consistent, and measurable, rather than verifying that the implementation works correctly.

Does speckit-checklist work without a .specify directory?▼

No, it requires a spec-kit project structure with a .specify directory containing scripts, templates, and the feature folder. The skill runs check-prerequisites.sh to resolve the feature directory and template content.

Can I create multiple checklists for the same feature?▼

Yes, each invocation uses a short descriptive filename like ux.md or api.md in the checklists folder. If the file already exists, new items are appended with continuing CHK IDs and existing content is preserved.

Why are generated checklist items left unchecked?▼

Checkbox state belongs to the reviewer, not the generator. A checked box means the reviewer confirmed the requirements-quality criterion is satisfied, so the command never marks newly generated items as complete.
