SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you verify that a completed phase actually has enough validation coverage, instead of assuming the work is done because an implementation step finished.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validation gap auditing: Reviews an existing phase for missing or weak Nyquist validation coverage.
  • Artifact reconstruction: Rebuilds validation evidence when a VALIDATION.md file is missing but SUMMARY.md and other artifacts exist.
  • Completion guidance: Detects when a phase was not executed and returns the correct next step.
  • Use case: A build phase appears complete, but you need the validation record tightened before shipping.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to audit phase 3 for validation gaps and generate an updated VALIDATION.md plus any missing test files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit phase validation coverage after a build completes?

Audit phase validation coverage by reviewing existing phase outputs and validation artifacts to identify missing or weak Nyquist validation evidence before shipping the completed work.

Can I reconstruct missing validation evidence if the VALIDATION.md file is gone?

You can reconstruct missing validation evidence by rebuilding the VALIDATION.md file from existing SUMMARY.md files and other available phase artifacts within the software factory workflow.

What is Nyquist validation coverage in phased software delivery?

Nyquist validation coverage is the verification evidence confirming a completed phase meets its delivery requirements, tracked by auditing validation files and phase summaries for gaps.

How do I generate missing test files when tightening validation records for a phase?

Generate missing test files by auditing the completed phase for validation gaps and automatically producing supporting test files alongside an updated VALIDATION.md record.

Does phase validation auditing work if the phase was never executed?

If the phase was never executed, the audit detects the missing execution and returns the correct next step required to complete the phase rather than generating validation artifacts.

What phase artifacts are required to run a validation gap audit?

Running a validation gap audit requires access to phase summaries and existing validation files to update coverage and accurately reconstruct any missing supporting test evidence.
