SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Preflight validation prevents architecture violations by verifying planned changes against the documented architecture, conformance rules, approved technologies, and API contracts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validate feature plans before implementation to ensure alignment with the C4 model and governance rules.
  • Detect conformance violations such as restricted dependencies, unsupported tech, or missing API contracts.
  • Generate a structured preflight verdict (PASS/WARN/FAIL) with actionable fixes and ADR recommendations.

Quick Start

Describe the planned change and context to trigger a preflight check, and the skill will return a verdict along with recommended next steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate planned feature changes against API contracts and the C4 model?

Preflight validation checks planned changes against the C4 model, conformance rules, API contracts, and the technology radar. It returns a structured PASS, WARN, or FAIL verdict with actionable fixes to ensure alignment before implementation.

What is architecture preflight validation and when do I need it?

Architecture preflight validation is a process to verify planned changes against documented architecture, approved technologies, and API contracts. You need it before coding to prevent architecture violations and ensure alignment with governance rules.

How do I check if my planned project changes conform to the technology radar?

To check conformance, describe the planned changes and context to trigger a preflight check. The skill assesses potential violations against the technology radar and returns concrete fixes or ADR recommendations to align the plan.

Can I use preflight checks to detect restricted dependencies before implementation?

Yes, preflight checks detect conformance violations such as restricted dependencies, unsupported technologies, or missing API contracts. The process outputs a concise rationale and actionable steps to bring the plan into alignment.

What's the best way to generate ADR recommendations for architecture violations?

The best way to generate ADR recommendations is to run a preflight validation check on planned changes. It identifies violations and proposes concrete fixes or ADRs before implementation, returning a structured verdict.
