FAQPage Schema
How do I validate epic planning artifacts before starting development?

Analyzing epic planning artifacts validates epic.md, epic-tech-spec.md, and epic-breakdown.md for consistency, completeness, and risk assessment. It checks requirement coverage and task completeness against project-level PRD constraints, generating a detailed analysis report with actionable quick fix suggestions.

What is technical specification risk assessment for an epic?

Technical specification risk assessment pinpoints issues in requirement coverage, technical coherence, task completeness, and quality assurance within epic artifacts. Identifying these risks before coding begins prevents costly rework and development delays.

Can I check epic task breakdown coherence against project PRD constraints?

Checking epic breakdown coherence analyzes epic-breakdown.md against project-level PRD constraints. This validation ensures all technical and project requirements are fully covered and consistent before development starts.

How do I identify missing requirements in an epic technical specification?

Automated validation of epic-tech-spec.md analyzes requirement coverage to identify missing requirements. It generates a detailed report highlighting incomplete technical requirements and providing quick fix suggestions to improve the epic plan.
