SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Validate implementation plans by tracing through proposed changes without implementing, helping teams catch gaps early and ensure feasibility.

Core Features & Use Cases

Dry-run validation of plan steps against the current codebase
Automatic detection of missing assumptions, dependencies, or conflicts
In-place plan corrections with clear terminal reports of changes

Quick Start

Provide the path to the plan file to validate; the tool will perform a dry walkthrough, apply non-destructive fixes to the plan, and report results to the terminal.

FAQPage Schema

How do I validate an implementation plan without modifying the codebase?▼

Dry walkthrough validation traces proposed changes against the current codebase without altering code. It checks target files, dependencies, assumptions, and call wiring to identify gaps and ensure the plan can be executed safely.

What is dry walkthrough plan validation and when do I need it?▼

Dry walkthrough plan validation is the process of tracing proposed implementation steps against existing files to catch gaps early. You need it before executing changes to ensure feasibility and fix plan details without risking the codebase.

How do I check my plan for missing dependencies and conflicts before coding?▼

Provide the path to your plan file to perform a dry walkthrough. The tool automatically detects missing assumptions, dependencies, or conflicts, then applies non-destructive fixes directly to the plan content and reports results to the terminal.

Can I review implementation plans for any project using this dry walkthrough approach?▼

Yes, dry walkthrough validation is applied to plan reviews across projects. It verifies plan consistency by checking target files, dependencies, assumptions, and call wiring regardless of the specific project context.

Does plan validation modify my original code files during the review process?▼

Plan validation does not modify your code files. The dry walkthrough process applies non-destructive fixes only to the plan content itself, ensuring the actual codebase remains completely unaltered during the review.

How do I fix plan details automatically when gaps are found during code review?▼

The dry walkthrough applies in-place plan corrections when gaps are detected. It updates the plan content directly and outputs a clear terminal report of all changes made, ensuring your plan is ready for safe execution.
