Bill Ballou 3e7ad39eb8 docs: add specification and implementation plan for direct database access feature
This feature (002-direct-db-access) enables scripts to query schedule data
directly via SQL after loading XER files through MCP. Key additions:

- spec.md: Feature specification with 3 user stories
- plan.md: Implementation plan with constitution check
- research.md: Technology decisions (SQLite file, WAL mode, atomic writes)
- data-model.md: DatabaseInfo, SchemaInfo, TableInfo entities
- contracts/mcp-tools.json: Extended load_xer schema, new get_database_info tool
- quickstart.md: Usage examples for direct database access
- tasks.md: 16 implementation tasks across 6 phases

Specification Quality Checklist: Direct Database Access for Scripts

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-01-08 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
  • Focused on user value and business needs
  • Written for non-technical stakeholders
  • All mandatory sections completed

Requirement Completeness

  • No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
  • Requirements are testable and unambiguous
  • Success criteria are measurable
  • Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
  • All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • Edge cases are identified
  • Scope is clearly bounded
  • Dependencies and assumptions identified

Feature Readiness

  • All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
  • User scenarios cover primary flows
  • Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • No implementation details leak into specification

Notes

  • All items pass validation
  • Spec is ready for /speckit.clarify or /speckit.plan
  • The feature cleanly extends existing functionality (load_xer) with persistent database output
  • Assumptions section documents reasonable defaults for database location and persistence behavior
