Quality Checklist

Overview

Post-implementation quality gate that validates the completed work against constitution standards, specification requirements, and custom quality checks. Produces a scored assessment with remediation recommendations for any failures.

When to Use

• After implementation is complete, before declaring done
• When validating code quality against constitution standards
• When verifying specification requirement coverage
• When running custom project-specific quality checks

Key Principle

Quality validation must be objective, reproducible, and multi-dimensional. Failed items must have actionable remediation recommendations. The checklist supports convergence loops -- re-validate after fixes until quality threshold is met.

Process

1. Validate code quality - Check against constitution coding standards
2. Verify test coverage - Ensure coverage meets constitution thresholds
3. Check spec satisfaction - Verify all requirements are implemented
4. Assess performance - Validate against constitution benchmarks
5. Verify security - Check compliance with constitution security constraints
6. Execute custom checks - Run any project-specific quality checks
7. Score overall quality - Weighted average across categories (0-100)
8. Produce recommendations - Actionable fixes for failed items
9. Remediation loop - Re-validate after fixes (up to 3 iterations)
