SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you close missing or incomplete Nyquist validation checks after a phase has already been completed, preventing overlooked quality gaps from slipping into later work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validation coverage audit: Detects whether phase artifacts include the expected VALIDATION.md and identifies gaps relative to the Nyquist validation expectations.
  • Auto-reconstruction from artifacts: When VALIDATION.md is missing but SUMMARY.md exists, it reconstructs validation guidance from available phase outputs to restore continuity.
  • Test generation: Produces generated test files aligned to the reconstructed or audited validation plan so the phase can be re-verified deterministically.

Quick Start

Run the gsd-validate-phase skill for phase 3 to audit and fill Nyquist validation gaps and write the updated VALIDATION.md plus the generated test files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit and repair missing Nyquist validation coverage for a completed phase?

You can reconstruct validation documentation by reading existing SUMMARY.md files and phase outputs, generating a VALIDATION.md file and aligned test files to restore missing workflow gates without restarting the phase.

What are workflow gates in Nyquist validation and when do I need to repair them?

Workflow gates are phase quality checkpoints requiring VALIDATION.md and generated tests. You need to repair them after a completed phase has missing or incomplete validation artifacts to prevent quality gaps from entering later work.

Can I generate test files from a phase summary when VALIDATION.md is missing?

Yes, when VALIDATION.md is missing but SUMMARY.md exists, validation guidance is reconstructed from available phase outputs, producing generated test files aligned to the reconstructed plan for deterministic phase re-verification.

What's the best way to fill validation documentation gaps in test generation workflows?

You can reconstruct validation documentation by reading existing SUMMARY.md files and phase outputs, generating a VALIDATION.md file and aligned test files to restore missing workflow gates without restarting the phase.

Does this phase documentation repair process require any external dependencies?

No external dependencies are required. The process reads and writes phase files internally, auditing existing artifacts like SUMMARY.md to reconstruct validation and output updated VALIDATION.md files with generated tests.
