SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Ensures that software readiness artifacts (planning, architecture, testing, and CI materials) are complete, consistent, and aligned with governance requirements before implementation, preventing gap-induced delays.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces mandatory gates by ensuring traceability-matrix.md and ci-setup.md exist and are non-empty.
  • Validates cross-artifact completeness and consistency across PRD, architecture decisions, test plans, and threat models.
  • Produces a machine-readable readiness report and triggers lifecycle notifications for downstream orchestration via GAIA subagents.

Quick Start

Run the readiness-check workflow to generate a project-wide readiness report for your GAIA project.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate software readiness checks before implementation?

Automate readiness checks by validating planning, architecture, and testing artifacts against defined gates. This enforces mandatory gates like traceability matrices and CI setup to ensure completeness and prevent implementation delays.

What is a readiness gate in CI/CD pipelines?

A readiness gate validates that mandatory artifacts like traceability-matrix.md and ci-setup.md exist and are non-empty. It enforces artifact completeness and traceability before allowing downstream integration.

How do I validate cross-artifact consistency for a PRD and test plans?

Validate cross-artifact consistency by assessing PRD, architecture decisions, test plans, and threat models against defined gates. This ensures all planning and testing materials are complete and aligned before implementation.

Can I generate a machine-readable PASS/FAIL readiness report automatically?

Yes, you can generate a machine-readable PASS/FAIL readiness report by running automated readiness checks. The report validates artifact completeness against defined gates and triggers lifecycle notifications for downstream orchestration.

Does this readiness check require existing architecture decisions and threat models?

Yes, the readiness check validates cross-artifact completeness across architecture decisions and threat models. These artifacts must exist and be consistent with the PRD and test plans to achieve a PASS readiness summary.

When should I not use automated gate management for project readiness?

Avoid automated gate management when your project lacks defined artifacts like a PRD, traceability matrix, or CI setup files. The readiness check requires these baseline artifacts to validate completeness and produce a PASS summary.
