SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams systematically audit and tighten codebase quality gates across architecture, lint, types, tests, docs, and code review to reduce risk and onboarding time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Systematic nine-phase gate for architecture review, lint tightening, type safety, test coverage, and documentation quality.
  • Use during onboarding, pre-release validation, or when validation appears too permissive.
  • Produce actionable findings with a phased plan and gating criteria to guide improvements.

Quick Start

Initiate a full codebase hardening audit on the current project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit and tighten codebase quality gates across lint, types, and tests?

Run a phased codebase hardening audit to tighten validation across architecture, lint, type checks, tests, and documentation. It outputs a prioritized issue list and a phased remediation plan with gating criteria to systematically guide improvements.

What is the best way to prepare a legacy codebase for a pre-release validation audit?

Use a systematic codebase hardening audit designed for pre-release validation. It evaluates configured lint, type, and test pipelines against references to standards, producing actionable findings to reduce risk and improve onboarding before release.

What do I need to run a codebase hardening audit on my repository?

You need access to the repository, configured lint, type, and test pipelines, and references to standards. The audit uses these inputs to evaluate quality gates and output a prioritized issue list with a phased remediation plan.

How does a phased codebase hardening audit work when validation is too permissive?

It applies a nine-phase gate to review architecture, tighten lint rules, enforce type safety, check test coverage, and validate documentation. This phased approach isolates permissive validation areas and outputs targeted remediation criteria.

Can I tighten codebase documentation quality and architecture standards together?

Yes, the codebase hardening audit systematically reviews both documentation quality and architecture standards within its nine-phase gate. It outputs a unified, prioritized issue list and a phased remediation plan to guide improvements.
