Build script configured (tsc → dist/) Phase 1 Checkpoint: Project structure ready - foundation for Foundational phase Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01PyQtGRkkHrWSGS9MPyXzcG --- .../specs/010-requirements-checklist/tasks.md | 18 +- packages/requirements-checklist/.gitignore | 37 ++++ packages/requirements-checklist/README.md | 154 ++++++++++++++++ .../requirements-checklist/jest.config.js | 25 +++ packages/requirements-checklist/package.json | 47 +++++ .../schemas/checklist-dimension.schema.json | 44 +++++ .../schemas/checklist-item.schema.json | 63 +++++++ .../schemas/checklist-result.schema.json | 174 ++++++++++++++++++ .../schemas/checklist-template.schema.json | 78 ++++++++ .../specification-reference.schema.json | 37 ++++ packages/requirements-checklist/tsconfig.json | 20 ++ 11 files changed, 688 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) create mode 100644 packages/requirements-checklist/.gitignore create mode 100644 packages/requirements-checklist/README.md create mode 100644 packages/requirements-checklist/jest.config.js create mode 100644 packages/requirements-checklist/package.json create mode 100644 packages/requirements-checklist/schemas/checklist-dimension.schema.json create mode 100644 packages/requirements-checklist/schemas/checklist-item.schema.json create mode 100644 packages/requirements-checklist/schemas/checklist-result.schema.json create mode 100644 packages/requirements-checklist/schemas/checklist-template.schema.json create mode 100644 packages/requirements-checklist/schemas/specification-reference.schema.json create mode 100644 packages/requirements-checklist/tsconfig.json diff --git a/.github/specs/010-requirements-checklist/tasks.md b/.github/specs/010-requirements-checklist/tasks.md index 898cfe9def..f86e054746 100644 --- a/.github/specs/010-requirements-checklist/tasks.md +++ b/.github/specs/010-requirements-checklist/tasks.md @@ -22,15 +22,15 @@ **Checkpoint**: TypeScript, Jest, and basic project structure ready -- [ ] T001 Create project directory structure in `packages/requirements-checklist/` per plan.md -- [ ] T002 [P] Initialize `packages/requirements-checklist/package.json` with dependencies (yaml, marked, json-schema-validator, typescript, jest) -- [ ] T003 [P] Configure `packages/requirements-checklist/tsconfig.json` with Node.js 18+ ES2020 target -- [ ] T004 [P] Create `packages/requirements-checklist/.gitignore` with node_modules, dist, coverage -- [ ] T005 Setup build script in `packages/requirements-checklist/package.json` (tsc → dist/) -- [ ] T006 [P] Create Jest configuration in `packages/requirements-checklist/jest.config.js` with TypeScript support -- [ ] T007 Create README.md in `packages/requirements-checklist/` with project overview and usage examples -- [ ] T008 Setup directory structure: `src/lib/`, `src/cli/`, `tests/unit/`, `tests/integration/`, `tests/contract/` -- [ ] T009 [P] Copy JSON schemas from `.github/specs/010-requirements-checklist/contracts/` to `packages/requirements-checklist/schemas/` +- [x] T001 Create project directory structure in `packages/requirements-checklist/` per plan.md +- [x] T002 [P] Initialize `packages/requirements-checklist/package.json` with dependencies (yaml, marked, json-schema-validator, typescript, jest) +- [x] T003 [P] Configure `packages/requirements-checklist/tsconfig.json` with Node.js 18+ ES2020 target +- [x] T004 [P] Create `packages/requirements-checklist/.gitignore` with node_modules, dist, coverage +- [x] T005 Setup build script in `packages/requirements-checklist/package.json` (tsc → dist/) +- [x] T006 [P] Create Jest configuration in `packages/requirements-checklist/jest.config.js` with TypeScript support +- [x] T007 Create README.md in `packages/requirements-checklist/` with project overview and usage examples +- [x] T008 Setup directory structure: `src/lib/`, `src/cli/`, `tests/unit/`, `tests/integration/`, `tests/contract/` +- [x] T009 [P] Copy JSON schemas from `.github/specs/010-requirements-checklist/contracts/` to `packages/requirements-checklist/schemas/` **Checkpoint**: Project structure ready -

[PATCH 08/21] feat(checklist-framework): Implement Phase 2 foundational architecture MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add core type system, utilities, and dimension base classes: - types.ts: Complete ChecklistDimension, ChecklistItem, ChecklistTemplate, Finding interfaces - spec-parser.ts: Format-agnostic YAML/JSON/Markdown specification parser - scoring.ts: Hierarchical scoring from item→dimension→overall (≥75% pass threshold) - result-formatter.ts: JSON, YAML, text output formatting with ASCII score bars - checklist-engine.ts: Main orchestration (load template → parse spec → evaluate → score) - template-loader.ts: YAML template loading with validation and caching - base-dimension.ts: Abstract dimension evaluator with search/extract utilities - keyword-registry.ts: Centralized keyword patterns for all 8 dimensions - completeness.ts: First dimension implementation (5 checks: required sections, content, stories, criteria, edge cases) - index.ts: Public API exports and convenience functions (run, getAvailableVariants, getDimensions) All files pass ESLint type safety checks. Completes T010-T015, T018, T019, T021 from Phase 2.

Total: 35 checklist items across 7 dimensions. Completes T017.
