analyze

To ensure traceability between specs, plans, and tasks, analyze your development artifacts to map spec items to corresponding plan items and tasks, validating alignment before coding begins. This prevents rework and miscommunication.

Spec-plan-task gap detection is the process of identifying missing coverage across development artifacts. It validates that every acceptance criterion within a specification has a corresponding task in the implementation plan.

You need to run spec-to-plan consistency validation during pre-implementation reviews and planning phases. This ensures changes propagate accurately across artifacts and verifies spec-plan-task alignment before starting implementation.

Yes, you can check if every acceptance criterion has a corresponding task by running an analysis workflow on your development pipeline. This validates spec-plan-task alignment and enforces traceability to prevent rework.

The best way to prevent miscommunication between specs and development plans is to validate alignment by applying traceability checks and gap detection across artifacts. This ensures changes propagate consistently before implementation.
