SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Adversarial audit after gates identifies problems that self-validation may miss, ensuring SDLC quality and reducing post-release risks.

Core Features & Use Cases

Surface high-severity issues across architecture, implementation, and quality phases.
Classify findings by severity (CRITICAL, GRAVE, MEDIUM, LIGHT) and produce structured reports.
Support automated corrections and integration with existing gate workflows.

Quick Start

Run an adversarial audit on a phase (e.g., phase 5) using the default configuration.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema

How do I conduct an adversarial audit to find issues missed by self-validation in the SDLC?▼

Adversarial audits review artifacts across Architecture, Implementation, and Quality phases to catch issues self-validation misses. This skill classifies findings by severity, generates structured YAML or JSON reports, and optionally applies automated corrections.

What is an adversarial audit in software engineering quality assurance?▼

An adversarial audit is a post-gate review process that identifies high-severity problems missed during standard validation. It evaluates phase artifacts and classifies issues into CRITICAL, GRAVE, MEDIUM, and LIGHT severity levels to reduce post-release risks.

How do I configure fail and warn thresholds for automated artifact reviews?▼

You can configure fail and warn thresholds to control gate enforcement during artifact reviews. The skill evaluates phase outputs against these limits and integrates with post-gate hooks to halt progression when critical severity limits are exceeded.

Does this adversarial audit tool work with architecture and implementation phase tasks?▼

Yes, the tool applies to Architecture phase 3, Implementation phase 5, and Quality phase 6 tasks. It reviews artifacts from these specific SDLC stages and leverages LLM-assisted analysis to surface hidden issues.

Can I generate structured audit reports in YAML or JSON for CI CD integration?▼

The skill produces automated reports structured in YAML or JSON formats. These outputs document classified findings and integrate with post-gate hooks to support continuous integration workflows.

What are the limitations of using LLM-assisted analysis for SDLC phase audits?▼

LLM-assisted analysis automates issue detection but requires configured fail and warn thresholds to enforce quality gates. It serves as a post-gate adversarial check rather than replacing the initial self-validation process.
