John Wick Phase Check-in

Drift detection compares phase-specific deliverables against discovery artifacts to identify inconsistencies. It operates as an internal subagent to automatically validate project phase consistency and flag requirement drift before moving to the next stage.

Automated gatekeeping enforces strict phase transitions across DEFINE, PLAN, DESIGN, and IMPLEMENT stages. It validates artifacts against original requirements and mandates human escalation for significant issues post-lock to prevent project drift.

Automated drift detection is the process of validating that artifacts produced during a development phase align with original discovery requirements. It classifies requirement drift and design mismatches to ensure project phase consistency.

Yes, you can check for contradictions by comparing design artifacts against initial PRD requirements during the transition to implementation. Significant gaps are automatically flagged for immediate human review and escalation.

Yes, you need structured input of phase parameters and artifact paths to perform automated compliance checks. Providing the current phase, drift-detection question, and relevant file paths is required for validation.

You should trigger human escalation when significant requirement drift or design mismatches are detected post-lock. The automated gatekeeping process flags these critical issues during phase transitions for immediate manual review.
