# Requirements Checklist: Multi-Agent Memory Consolidation
**Purpose**: Validate that the feature specification is complete, consistent, and ready for implementation planning
**Created**: 2025-11-24
**Feature**: [spec.md](../spec.md)
## User Stories Completeness
- [x] CHK001 All user stories follow "As a [role], I want [goal], so that [benefit]" format
- [x] CHK002 Each user story has explicit priority (P1, P2, P3)
- [x] CHK003 Priority justifications explain WHY that priority level
- [x] CHK004 Each story has "Independent Test" describing how it can be validated alone
- [x] CHK005 All acceptance scenarios follow Given/When/Then format
- [x] CHK006 User stories cover the five agents: Decay Analyzer, Cluster Detector, Semantic Merge, LTM Promoter, Relationship Discovery
## Requirements Quality
- [x] CHK007 All functional requirements use MUST/SHOULD/MAY language (RFC 2119)
- [x] CHK008 Each requirement is independently testable
- [x] CHK009 Requirements are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
- [x] CHK010 No conflicting requirements identified
- [x] CHK011 Requirements cover beads coordination mechanism (FR-006, FR-007)
- [x] CHK012 Requirements include dry-run/preview mode (FR-010)
- [x] CHK013 Requirements include CLI interface (FR-012)
- [x] CHK014 Requirements include rate limiting (FR-014)
## Success Criteria Measurability
- [x] CHK015 Each success criterion has a specific metric (number, percentage, time)
- [x] CHK016 Metrics are objectively measurable (not subjective opinions)
- [x] CHK017 Success criteria cover all five agents
- [x] CHK018 Performance SLA defined (SC-006: 5 seconds per memory)
- [x] CHK019 Data integrity criterion exists (SC-008: zero data loss)
## Edge Cases Coverage
- [x] CHK020 Multiple cluster membership handling defined
- [x] CHK021 Merge conflict resolution defined
- [x] CHK022 Queue overflow handling defined
- [x] CHK023 Agent failure recovery defined
- [x] CHK024 Concurrent execution handling defined
## Key Entities Definition
- [x] CHK025 ConsolidationAgent base class defined
- [x] CHK026 ConsolidationTask (beads issue type) defined
- [x] CHK027 ClusterResult output format defined
- [x] CHK028 MergeResult output format defined
- [x] CHK029 PromotionResult output format defined
## Dependencies & Integration Points
- [x] CHK030 Beads integration described (message queue + audit log)
- [x] CHK031 Existing consolidation.py compatibility considered
- [x] CHK032 Existing promote_memory tool compatibility considered
- [x] CHK033 LTM vault integration described
- [x] CHK034 Existing cluster_memories tool compatibility considered

## Notes
- This specification builds on existing CortexGraph infrastructure:
- `src/cortexgraph/core/consolidation.py` - existing merge logic
- `src/cortexgraph/core/cluster.py` - existing similarity detection
- `src/cortexgraph/core/review.py` - existing decay zone logic
- `src/cortexgraph/tools/promote.py` - existing LTM promotion
- Beads provides the coordination layer - no need to build custom message queue
- Consider whether to use Claude Agent SDK for agent orchestration (optional enhancement)
