SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Detects drift against architecture decisions by auditing sprint changes and enforcing consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

Read architecture decisions and compare with sprint changes to surface non-conforming edits.
Generate a structured findings report detailing violated decisions, evidence, and severity.
Integrate with Impetus sprint workflows to run checks automatically during sprint review.

Quick Start

Invoke architecture-guard as part of Impetus sprint checks to detect pattern drift.

FAQPage Schema

How do I detect architecture drift in my codebase?▼

Architecture drift is detected by analyzing architecture documents and git diffs to identify enforceable constraints, potential violations, and non-conforming edits across subsystems during a sprint review.

How do I enforce architecture policies during a sprint review?▼

Enforce architecture policies by running drift-detection checks against sprint changes to identify non-conforming edits, outputting a structured findings report with violated decisions, evidence, and severities.

Can I automatically check git diffs against documented architecture decisions?▼

Yes, you can check git diffs by analyzing them against architecture documents to surface non-conforming edits and generate a structured findings report detailing violated decisions, evidence, and severity.

What is the best way to generate an architecture review report for code changes?▼

Generate an architecture review report by auditing sprint changes against architecture decisions, producing a structured findings output with decision references, evidence, and severities suitable for review.

Does architecture drift detection work with Impetus sprint workflows?▼

Yes, drift detection integrates with Impetus sprint workflows to run architecture checks automatically during sprint review, surfacing non-conforming edits and generating a findings report.

When should I run architecture drift checks on my code?▼

Run architecture drift checks during sprint reviews to audit changes, enforce consistency, and identify potential violations across subsystems before non-conforming edits are merged.
