Ceremony Integration — Requirements-Aware Ceremony Output

Why

Current backlog ceremony commands (backlog ceremony refinement, backlog ceremony standup, backlog ceremony planning) operate purely on technical signals — story points, acceptance criteria quality, spec coverage. They don't surface business requirement coverage, value gaps, or architectural readiness. This means ceremonies miss the most impactful signals: "Is the business case defined?" and "Does the architecture support this?" Extending ceremony output with a --with-requirements flag enriches refinement and planning with business context, catching value gaps before they become code.

What Changes

  • EXTEND: specfact backlog ceremony refinement extended with --with-requirements flag:
    • Show per-story business requirement status (defined/missing/incomplete)
    • Flag stories missing business value quantification
    • Flag stories with requirements but no solution architecture
    • Detect orphaned specs (spec exists but no business requirement)
    • Recommendation engine: "Defer until business case clarified" for value-undefined stories
  • EXTEND: specfact backlog ceremony planning extended with --with-requirements flag:
    • Sprint readiness assessment: business value coverage percentage
    • Risk items: stories entering sprint without full traceability chain
    • Capacity allocation by business outcome (not just story points)
  • EXTEND: specfact backlog ceremony standup extended with --with-requirements flag:
    • Yesterday/today items annotated with business requirement they serve
    • Blockers annotated with impacted business outcomes
  • NEW: Ceremony output sections: "Business Value Coverage", "Business Risk Items", "Ready for Sprint" with profile-aware detail level (solo gets summary only, enterprise gets full breakdown)
  • EXTEND: Ceremony cockpit (ceremony-cockpit-01) integration — requirements-aware output available through all ceremony aliases

Capabilities

New Capabilities

  • ceremony-requirements-awareness: Requirements-aware enrichment for backlog ceremony commands (backlog ceremony refinement, backlog ceremony planning, backlog ceremony standup) showing business value coverage, risk items, orphaned specs, and sprint readiness with profile-aware detail levels.

Modified Capabilities

  • backlog-refinement: Extended with --with-requirements flag for business context enrichment
  • daily-standup: Extended with --with-requirements flag for business outcome annotations
