SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Detect drift in objectives, scope, and architecture and provide a structured Recovery plan with optional change-requests and parking-lot notes to restore alignment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Drift detection across objectives, scope, and cross-domain touches.
  • Auto-generates a prioritized Recovery plan and suggests follow-up artifacts (CRs, parking-lot items).
  • Guidance for arbitration and state alignment by updating CURRENT-STATE artifacts and cycle records.

Quick Start

Run the drift-check skill against the active audit cycle to generate a Recovery plan and suggested follow-up actions.

Frequently Asked Questions about drift-check

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect project scope drift and generate a recovery plan?

To detect project scope drift, the tool analyzes your active cycle status and recent changes to identify misalignments in objectives and architecture, then produces a prioritized recovery plan with actionable next steps.

What is drift detection in cycle management and when do I need it?

Drift detection in cycle management identifies when project objectives, scope, or architecture deviate from their original intent. You need it when recent changes risk misaligning your active cycle with established goals.

How do I create a change-request entry from a detected project drift?

When project drift is detected, the generated recovery plan includes guidance to create a change-request entry and parking-lot notes, ensuring scope deviations are formally documented and tracked for arbitration.

Can I audit cross-domain architecture touches during an active cycle?

Yes, you can audit cross-domain architecture touches by running the drift analysis against your active cycle, which examines the current session and recent changes to determine where architectural drift occurred.

What is the best way to handle objective misalignment and escalation in cycle management?

The best way to handle objective misalignment is to generate a structured recovery plan that prioritizes actions and includes escalation guidance for arbitration when realignment across cross-domain touches is required.

When should I not use an automated drift recovery plan for project management?

You should avoid relying solely on an automated drift recovery plan when your active cycle lacks recent changes or current-state artifacts, as the analysis depends on existing session data to determine accurate next steps.
