SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates architectural drift by automatically detecting when code implementations deviate from their original design specifications, preventing costly rework and technical debt.

Core Features & Use Cases

Systematic Compliance Checking: Compare design documents with actual code to identify architectural, interface, and behavioral discrepancies.
Categorized Issue Reporting: Classify problems by severity (Critical, Major, Minor) with actionable recommendations.
Use Case: After implementing a new parser feature, use this Skill to verify it follows the documented architectural patterns, error handling requirements, and performance specifications.

Quick Start

Check if the type system implementation matches its design documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Design Spec Auditor

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema

How do I verify that my code implementation matches the design specification?▼

Design Spec Auditor compares your code against design documentation to identify architectural, interface, and behavioral misalignments. It generates a compliance report categorizing discrepancies by severity with remediation guidance, helping you catch drift early during development and code reviews.

What kinds of discrepancies does a design compliance check detect?▼

The Skill identifies architectural deviations, interface mismatches, and behavioral gaps between design docs and actual code. Issues are classified as Critical, Major, or Minor with actionable recommendations, enabling you to prioritize fixes and prevent technical debt.

When should I run a design specification audit during development?▼

Run audits after implementing new features, during code reviews, and before refactoring. This prevents architectural drift by catching implementation deviations early, ensuring your code stays aligned with documented patterns, error handling requirements, and performance specs.

Can I use design compliance checking for existing codebases with legacy code?▼

Yes. The Skill compares any codebase against its design documentation regardless of age. It works during refactoring efforts to surface where legacy implementations deviate from intended architecture, helping you plan modernization and technical debt remediation.

What output do I get from a design specification audit?▼

You receive a compliance report listing discrepancies by severity category, detailed categorization of each issue type, and specific remediation guidance. This enables prioritized fixes and helps teams align implementation with architectural intent.

Does design compliance checking work with multiple design document formats?▼

The Skill reads design documentation and parses corresponding code to generate reports. It handles systematic compliance checking across planned and implemented designs, making it applicable to various documentation and codebase structures.
