# Specification Quality Checklist: Gemma 4 Local Default (Direct Inference)

**Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning
**Created**: 2026-04-04
**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

## Notes

- All items pass validation. Spec references "inference engine" generically rather than naming specific libraries.
- Thinking delimiter format (`<|channel>thought\n...<channel|>`) is a model output format, not an implementation detail — it's inherent to the model being specified.
- FR-008 establishes a clear implementation blocker (upstream bug) — this is a dependency constraint, not premature implementation planning.
- The spec intentionally references "feature flag" as a scoping mechanism without specifying the implementation (Rust feature gates, config flags, etc.).
