# Specification Quality Checklist: Production-Grade Connection Management **Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning **Created**: 2025-10-13 **Branch**: `009-v2-connection-mgmt` **Feature**: [spec.md](../spec.md) ## Content Quality - [x] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) - [x] Focused on user value and business needs - [x] Written for non-technical stakeholders - [x] All mandatory sections completed ## Requirement Completeness - [x] No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain - [x] Requirements are testable and unambiguous - [x] Success criteria are measurable - [x] Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details) - [x] All acceptance scenarios are defined - [x] Edge cases are identified - [x] Scope is clearly bounded - [x] Dependencies and assumptions identified ## Feature Readiness - [x] All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria - [x] User scenarios cover primary flows - [x] Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria - [x] No implementation details leak into specification ## Validation Results ### Content Quality: PASS ✓ **Analysis**: - Specification describes WHAT (connection pooling, health monitoring) and WHY (reliability, observability) without HOW - No mention of specific Python classes, asyncpg implementation details, or code structure - Language is accessible: "system administrator," "developer," "connection pool" are general terms - All mandatory sections (User Scenarios, Requirements, Success Criteria) are complete ### Requirement Completeness: PASS ✓ **Analysis**: - **No clarification markers**: All requirements are fully specified with concrete values (e.g., "2 seconds," "exponential backoff: 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s") - **Testable requirements**: Each FR has specific acceptance criteria (e.g., FR-001: "completes within 2 seconds or logging detailed error") - **Measurable success criteria**: All SC items include quantitative metrics (SC-001: "<2 seconds p95," SC-002: "<10ms p95") - **Technology-agnostic criteria**: Success criteria describe outcomes from user perspective (e.g., "Pool initialization completes" not "asyncpg.create_pool() succeeds") - **Comprehensive acceptance scenarios**: Each user story has 3-5 Given/When/Then scenarios covering happy path and variations - **Edge cases identified**: 8 edge cases documented with expected behavior - **Scope bounded**: Focus on single-database connection management, no multi-tenancy or read replicas - **Dependencies clear**: Foundation for Phase-05 (Repository Indexing) and Phase-06 (Semantic Search) ### Feature Readiness: PASS ✓ **Analysis**: - **FR acceptance criteria**: All 10 functional requirements have specific, measurable acceptance criteria - Example: FR-002 includes "completing in under 5ms, and creating new connection if validation fails" - **User scenario coverage**: 4 prioritized user stories cover critical flows (P1: startup, outage recovery; P2: observability; P3: leak detection) - **Success criteria alignment**: 10 measurable outcomes map directly to functional requirements - FR-001 (pool initialization) → SC-001 (initialization <2s p95) - FR-002 (connection validation) → SC-002 (acquisition <10ms p95) - FR-004 (statistics) → SC-007 (real-time updates <1ms staleness) - **No implementation leakage**: Entities section describes responsibilities and behaviors, not Python classes or methods ## Notes **Specification Quality**: Excellent This specification demonstrates best practices: 1. **Clear prioritization**: User stories ranked P1-P3 with justification for each priority level 2. **Independent testability**: Each user story can be tested independently (e.g., P3 leak detection can be tested without implementing P2 statistics) 3. **Comprehensive edge cases**: 8 edge cases with detailed expected behavior 4. **Measurable outcomes**: All success criteria include quantitative metrics (latency percentiles, operation counts, time bounds) 5. **Technology-agnostic language**: Describes connection pooling concepts without mentioning asyncpg, Python, or specific implementation patterns **Recommendation**: Specification is ready to proceed to `/speckit.plan` without requiring `/speckit.clarify`. **Assumptions documented in spec**: - Single database deployment (no multi-tenancy) - PostgreSQL 14+ compatibility assumed - MCP protocol non-blocking requirement (no stdout/stderr pollution) - Fail-fast on startup failures (don't enter degraded state with invalid config)
