To check issue alignment, validate the issue purpose against defined arc42 goals and quality attributes. This process detects scope drift during idea clarification and refinement, recommending narrowing scope or splitting follow-ups to maintain project governance.

Issue purpose alignment is the validation of an issue purpose against project goals and quality attributes. It prevents scope drift during refinement by surfacing misalignments early and recommending actionable narrowing or splitting of follow-up issues.

Validate issue alignment during idea clarification and issue refinement stages. Running alignment checks at these early phases detects drift relative to arc42 goals and quality criteria before development begins, ensuring governance throughout the lifecycle.

Yes, you can use arc42 quality attributes to detect issue scope drift. Validating an issue purpose against arc42 section 1 and section 10 criteria surfaces misalignments and recommends narrowing scope or splitting into follow-up issues for alignment.

The best way to handle misaligned issues is to validate the issue purpose against project goals and quality attributes, then apply actionable recommendations like narrowing the scope or splitting the issue into focused follow-ups to restore alignment.

You need defined arc42 goals and quality attributes to validate issue alignment effectively. The skill checks an issue purpose against arc42 section 1 and section 10 criteria, requiring existing project governance documentation to surface misalignments accurately.
