# Specification Quality Checklist: AI Support Agent **Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning **Created**: 2026-09-02 **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 - Scope is Phase 4 per `docs/10-implementation-roadmap.md`: AI session/diagnosis/interaction models, classification, RAG-backed reasoning (consuming 004's filtered retrieval, not adding a new semantic layer — see Assumptions), configurable confidence thresholds, a permission/risk- gated tool system, the runbook execution engine, and evidence-based verification. - The "Assumptions" section makes explicit which doc 03 concepts are illustrative-only for this codebase (the DocuQube-specific example tools) versus which are actually built (the tool system itself, with a small set of real, platform-native tools). - Per explicit product decision, the AI reasoning integration calls a real LLM provider (Anthropic Claude) rather than a mock or a pluggable-first interface — this is a spec-level assumption, not deferred to plan, because it changes what "done" and "independently testable" mean for every user story here (a real credential is required to verify any of them). - Out of scope, explicitly: semantic/vector retrieval (doc 11 §B1, deferred again — the same deferral 004 made, now to a still-later phase), product-signal webhook verification (doc 11 §A2, not yet built anywhere in this codebase), model routing/fallback (doc 11 §B2), full cost dashboards (doc 09), localization (doc 11 §B7), and idle-session timeout/expiry. - All items pass; no revision iterations were needed. ## Planning notes (added during /speckit-plan research) - **Found a real integration point, not a gap**: 003-ticketing's `ticket-state-machine.ts` already defines `AI_ANALYZING`/`AI_TROUBLESHOOTING`/`AI_VERIFYING`/`AI_RESOLVED`/ `HUMAN_ESCALATION` ticket statuses — a near-exact match for doc 06's `AISupportSession.status` enum, clearly authored anticipating this feature. research.md's design was corrected during planning (before any code was written) to drive `Ticket.status` through this existing state machine via the existing `ticketsService.updateStatus(...)`, rather than leaving `AISupportSession.status` as an isolated field the rest of the system can't see — see research.md "AISupportSession.status drives Ticket.status through the existing state machine". ## Implementation notes (added during /speckit-implement) - **Two circular module dependencies were designed around during implementation, not discovered as bugs after the fact**: (1) `escalation` initially needed `sessions`' repositories to end a session and sync ticket status, while `sessions` needed `escalation` to build the hand-off summary — resolved by making `EscalationService.buildSummary` a pure formatter with no repository/service dependencies of its own; `sessions` now owns ending its own session state and the ticket-status sync directly. (2) The `GET .../ai-session/actions` route initially lived in `tools` and imported `sessions` to resolve ticketId → session, which would have collided with `sessions`' own dependency on `tools` (for `proposeAndEvaluate`) — moved the route into `sessions` instead, which already owns that resolution; `tools` stays a clean leaf module with no dependency on `ai-support/sessions` at all. - **Found and fixed a real Prisma bug before it reached tests**: `AIConfidencePolicy.upsert` initially used Prisma's generated `productId_categoryId` compound-unique `where` shape, which rejects `null` for the (nullable) `categoryId` column at the client-API level ("Argument categoryId must not be null") even though the DB-level unique index itself permits it. Fixed by switching to `findFirst` + `update`/`create` instead of `upsert` — the same class of fix `KnowledgeRepository.updateCurrent` (004) already used for the same underlying Prisma limitation, discovered independently here. - **`ticket-state-machine.ts`'s AI_* statuses required two hooks into 003-ticketing's `tickets.service.ts`** to actually be driven correctly: (1) `createFromInboundRequest` enqueues the `AI_SESSION` job directly via `queueManager` (no import of `ai-support/sessions` — the worker, not the enqueue call, is what depends on it), and (2) `updateStatus` now publishes a `DomainEventName.TICKET_UPDATED` domain event unconditionally after every status change, using the event-bus scaffold (`src/events/`) that existed in this codebase from the original scaffold but had never been wired to anything — `ai-support/sessions` subscribes to it (registered in `src/events/handlers/index.ts`) to implement FR-023 (a human actor ends the AI session) without `tickets` ever needing to know `ai-support/sessions` exists. - **The runbook-matching convention is a real, disclosed scope decision, not an oversight**: a runbook's `key` is matched directly against the diagnosis's `problemType` string (no fuzzy matching, no separate mapping table) — admins author runbook keys to match the exact `problemType` vocabulary the AI's diagnosis call produces. This is simple and works, but is inherently a naming-convention contract between the diagnosis system prompt and runbook authoring, not a robust semantic match — documented in `session.service.ts`'s `enterTroubleshooting` and in research.md. - 9 unit tests (confidence-band, tool-policy-gate, runbook-step-advance) and 9 integration test files were added. The AI-independent ones (`ai-confidence-policy.test.ts`, the deterministic tool-policy-gate re-check in `ai-tools-and-runbook.test.ts`, and the message-routing guard in `ai-clarification.test.ts`) run unconditionally and were verified passing against a real Postgres/Redis/MinIO. The remaining integration tests and the two constitution-required standing E2E scenarios (`e2e-ai-flows.test.ts`) require a real `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` and are gated with `describe.skipIf` so the suite skips them cleanly (not a failure) rather than requiring every contributor to hold a live credential just to run the test suite — they were written and confirmed to compile and skip correctly, but not yet run against a live model in this environment (no key was available this session). The "AI resolves directly" E2E test additionally exercises the resolution-guard transition deterministically (via `SessionsService.recheckVerification`, a new seam also intended for a future real product-signal webhook) rather than relying solely on live-model non-determinism to reach that state. - Full regression (all 17 pre-existing integration test files plus every new one) was run together against real Docker-provisioned Postgres/Redis/MinIO: 88 passed, 9 skipped (the AI-key-gated ones), 0 failed.
