# [CHECKLIST TYPE] Checklist: [FEATURE NAME]

**Purpose**: [Brief description of what this checklist covers]
**Created**: [DATE]
**Feature**: [Link to spec.md or relevant documentation]

**Note**: This custom checklist is generated by the `__SPECKIT_COMMAND_CHECKLIST__` command based on feature context and requirements.
**Review Ownership**: This checklist is a reviewer-owned requirements-quality review artifact. Mark an item `[x]` only when the reviewer determines the requirements-quality criterion is satisfied.
**Marker Semantics**: `[x]` means the criterion has been reviewed and satisfied for requirements quality. It does not mean implementation work is complete.

<!--
  ============================================================================

  The __SPECKIT_COMMAND_CHECKLIST__ command MUST replace these with actual items based on:
  - User's specific checklist request
  - Feature requirements from spec.md
  - Technical context from plan.md
  - Implementation details from tasks.md

  DO NOT keep these sample items in the generated checklist file.

## Notes

- Mark items `[x]` only after review confirms the requirement-quality criterion is satisfied
- Leave items unchecked when they still require clarification, correction, or reviewer evaluation
- `__SPECKIT_COMMAND_IMPLEMENT__` reads checklist checkbox state as a gate and must not modify markers
- `checklists/requirements.md` has a separate built-in lifecycle maintained by `__SPECKIT_COMMAND_SPECIFY__` and `__SPECKIT_COMMAND_CLARIFY__`
- Add comments or findings inline
- Link to relevant resources or documentation
- Items are numbered sequentially for easy reference
