SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that all components of a policy document derivation chain remain consistent and up-to-date, identifying any drift or changes that may require attention.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Domain Freshness Check: Compares SHA manifests of each tier in the xlator derivation chain against the current working-tree state.
  • Read-only Operation: Does not modify any artifacts, providing a pure read-check for drift.
  • Use Case: Ideal for regularly checking the freshness of domain-specific policy documents, ensuring that no changes have been unintentionally introduced into the policy derivation chain.

Quick Start

Use the check-freshness skill with the domain name to check for freshness, or omit the domain to list available domains and select one.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect drift in a policy document derivation chain?▼

Detect drift by comparing SHA manifests of each tier in the derivation chain against the current working-tree state to identify any changes requiring attention.

What is a freshness check for domain policy documents?▼

A freshness check for domain policy documents is a read-only validation that compares SHA manifests across multiple tiers in a derivation chain to ensure components remain consistent and up-to-date.

How do I check domain consistency across multiple document tiers?▼

You check domain consistency by running a read-only freshness check that compares SHA manifests across the document derivation chain against the current working-tree state for a specific domain or all domains.

Can I run a freshness check across all domains at once?▼

Yes, you can check all domains at once by omitting the domain name when running the freshness check, which lists available domains for selection and validates the entire working-tree state.

Does the freshness check modify my working-tree artifacts?▼

No, the freshness check is a pure read-only operation that does not modify any artifacts, providing a safe validation method to identify drift in the policy document derivation chain.

When do I need to verify policy document derivatives?▼

You need to verify policy document derivatives when ensuring all components of a derivation chain remain consistent, which is ideal for regularly checking that no changes have been unintentionally introduced.
