Specification Quality Checklist: Grafana Tracing & Custom Monitoring Charts

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-05-31 Feature: 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

Notes

  • Spec explicitly references 006-observability as the related brownfield spec
  • FR-005 references "datasource proxy" which mirrors existing pattern in 006 FR-012 — keeps consistency
  • Assumptions section notes Recharts as a candidate library but the spec itself does not mandate it
