Specification Quality Checklist: Helm Chart Documentation Generator

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-03-17 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality​

  • No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
  • Focused on user value and business needs
  • Written for non-technical stakeholders
  • All mandatory sections completed

Requirement Completeness​

  • No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
  • Requirements are testable and unambiguous
  • Success criteria are measurable
  • Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
  • All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • Edge cases are identified
  • Scope is clearly bounded
  • Dependencies and assumptions identified

Feature Readiness​

  • All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
  • User scenarios cover primary flows
  • Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • No implementation details leak into specification

Build & Version Validation​

  • make docs-helm-charts && make docs-build is defined as the end-to-end acceptance test (FR-019, US-6)
  • RC version exclusion is a testable requirement — grep for -rc, -alpha, -beta, -pre patterns (FR-020, US-6 scenario 2)
  • Version resolution priority is defined: CHART_VERSION > OCI registry > local appVersion (FR-007, FR-016, FR-017, FR-018)
  • Offline/CI fallback behavior is specified (FR-018, US-5 scenario 2, edge case)
  • New subchart auto-discovery validates via docs-build (US-6 scenario 3)

Notes​

  • All items pass validation. Spec is ready for /speckit.plan.
  • Assumption: helm-docs tool is already available in the project (existing make helm-docs target).
  • Assumption: Chart directory structure follows the existing convention (charts/<parent>/charts/<subchart>/).
  • FR-007 version resolution uses a 3-tier priority: explicit override, registry lookup, local fallback.
  • The make docs-build target (Docusaurus build with onBrokenLinks: 'throw') serves as the definitive integration test for all generated output.
