What problem does it solve?
It helps you review and repair existing pipeline DOT files so they are structurally correct, fully cover the intended spec, and pass validation with no warnings before you run anything.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structural DOT audit: Checks required graph attributes, start/exit node counts, failure-path completeness, human-gate configuration, diamond edge conditions, and parallel fan-out/fan-in synchronization.
- Spec reconciliation: Cross-references a design or spec document (when present) to confirm phases, components (implement + test/verify + commit), tech stack references, quality gates, testing frameworks, models/styles, and requested gates match expectations.
- Validation-driven fixes: Runs
dotfile validate <file>.dot, fixes all reported errors and warnings, and re-validates until the pipeline is clean.
Quick Start
Use this skill to audit and repair a pipeline DOT file so that dotfile validate <file>.dot returns zero errors and zero warnings.
