SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The skill validates the consistency and connectivity of the V-Model artifact graph, ensuring that all BA sections, Epics, Features, Success Criteria, ADRs, arc42 sections, PLANs, backlog items and code references are reachable and correctly linked.

Core Features & Use Cases

Syntactic health checks: detect dead links, missing IDs, orphan items, and broken source paths.
Semantic health checks (Mode B): assess cross-artifact coherence and evidence-based consistency across ADRs, BA references, and arc42 mappings.
Backlog health integration: generate a Graph-Health section in backlog and optional backlog items for detected gaps.

Quick Start

Start a consistency-check on the current workspace to validate the V-Model artifact graph and surface any issues to fix before handoffs.

FAQPage Schema

How do I check for dead links and orphan items in a V-Model artifact graph?▼

To check for dead links and orphan items in a V-Model artifact graph, run a syntactic health check to detect missing IDs, broken source paths, and unlinked backlog items, producing a console summary of connectivity issues.

What is a semantic consistency check for arc42 and ADR artifacts?▼

A semantic consistency check for arc42 and ADR artifacts assesses cross-artifact coherence and evidence-based consistency across BA references, verifying that documentation mappings align logically before project handoffs.

How do I validate backlog health and traceability before a project handoff?▼

To validate backlog health and traceability before a project handoff, execute an on-demand semantic check to verify coherence, which generates a Graph-Health update in context/10_backlog.md to guide remediation.

Does the artifact graph consistency check provide auto-fix guidance for broken references?▼

Yes, the artifact graph consistency check provides optional auto-fix guidance for detected gaps and broken references, updating the backlog with actionable items to restore traceability across Epics, Features, and Success Criteria.

When should I run a V-Model artifact graph health check?▼

You should run a V-Model artifact graph health check during Phase-End transitions to apply syntactic checks, or on demand before handoffs to ensure all BA sections, Epics, ADRs, and code references are correctly linked and reachable.
