# Specification Quality Checklist: Hermes Agent — Autonomous Dev Orchestrator & Telegram DevOps Bridge

**Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning
**Created**: 2026-05-29
**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 (ADR-031 v2.0 provides all decisions locked)
- [x] Requirements are testable and unambiguous
- [x] Success criteria are measurable (SC-001 through SC-010)
- [x] Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
- [x] All acceptance scenarios are defined (US1–US5, 5 scenarios each)
- [x] Edge cases are identified (10 edge cases)
- [x] Scope is clearly bounded (Out of Scope section present)
- [x] Dependencies and assumptions identified (Assumptions section present)

## Feature Readiness

- [x] All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria (FR-001 through FR-020)
- [x] User scenarios cover primary flows (Orchestration, Telegram Read, Telegram Write, Proxy, Staged Rollout)
- [x] Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
- [x] No implementation details leak into specification

## Notes

- Spec derived from ADR-031 v2.0 (2026-05-29) — Locked Decisions are authoritative
- Cloud AI exception scope clearly bounded to dev orchestration layer only
- Failure isolation (SC-004) is the most critical non-functional requirement
- Staged rollout (FR-015, SC-007) is prerequisite to any production deployment
- All items pass — spec is ready for clarification and planning phases
