SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that stories marked as "ready for delivery" are internally consistent and that no pending revisions are overlooked, preventing critical bugs and incomplete features from reaching production.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • AC Internal Consistency Check: Verifies that all declared resources within a story's Acceptance Criteria (ACs) are properly referenced and defined, catching undeclared columns or broken cross-references.
  • Pending Revisions Scan: Scans backlog item notes for keywords indicating deferred work or required updates that haven't yet been translated into new stories.
  • Delivery Verdict: Provides a clear go/no-go decision for delivery based on identified issues.
  • Use Case: Before deploying a new feature, run this audit to confirm that all database columns used by the new code are correctly defined in the schema migration ACs and that no "to be revised" notes in the backlog were missed.

Quick Start

Run /gaai-status --audit to perform a deep check on delivery-ready stories.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit acceptance criteria for undeclared columns before delivery?

To audit acceptance criteria for undeclared columns, you must parse story artifacts to verify that all declared resources are properly referenced and defined. This process identifies broken cross-references and undeclared schema columns to ensure code completeness before release.

What is a delivery readiness audit and when do I need it?

A delivery readiness audit is a consistency check that scans acceptance criteria and backlog notes to catch deferred work items and broken references. You need it before deploying features to prevent critical bugs and incomplete functionality from reaching production.

How do I scan backlog notes for pending revisions in delivery-ready stories?

To scan backlog notes for pending revisions, parse the notes for keywords indicating deferred work or required updates that have not yet been translated into new stories. This identifies overlooked revisions that could block code delivery.

Can I get a go/no-go delivery verdict based on backlog governance checks?

Yes, you can get a clear go/no-go delivery verdict based on backlog governance checks. The audit evaluates internal consistency issues, pending revisions, and undeclared resources to provide a definitive decision for releasing delivery-ready stories.

What limitations exist when parsing story artifacts for cross-reference consistency?

Parsing story artifacts for cross-reference consistency requires specific patterns and resource declarations to be present in the text. The audit is limited to identifying undeclared columns and deferred work items, meaning poorly formatted or unstructured notes may escape detection.
