SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Kiln Analyze Skill identifies cross-artifact inconsistencies, duplications, ambiguities, and underspecified items across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md, surfacing gaps before implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify mismatches between core artifacts to ensure traceability and alignment.
  • Validate readiness after task generation to prevent missed requirements.
  • Produce a structured analysis report with optional remediation plan when requested.

Quick Start

After tasks.md is generated, run the Kiln Analyze Skill to produce the analysis report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check cross-artifact consistency between spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md?

Cross-artifact consistency analysis identifies mismatches, duplications, and ambiguities across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md to surface gaps before implementation begins. It produces a structured analysis report validating alignment.

What is cross-artifact inconsistency analysis in a spec-kit project?

Cross-artifact inconsistency analysis validates traceability and alignment across core project artifacts. It enforces constitution rules to detect underspecified items and mismatches, ensuring readiness after task generation.

When should I run consistency analysis on my spec and task files?

Run consistency analysis immediately after tasks.md generation to validate alignment before implementation. This timing catches missed requirements and gaps early, preventing costly downstream errors during the build phase.

Can I generate a remediation plan if inconsistencies are found between my spec and tasks?

Yes, the analysis optionally suggests remediation plans when requested without modifying any artifacts. It outputs a structured analysis report detailing gaps and ambiguities, allowing you to review fixes manually.

Does cross-artifact analysis modify my existing spec.md, plan.md, or tasks.md files?

Cross-artifact analysis does not modify any artifacts. It operates read-only on your spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md files to output a structured analysis report and optional remediation suggestions.

What's the best way to validate task generation readiness before implementation?

Validating task generation readiness requires enforcing constitution rules across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md to detect underspecified items. Producing a structured analysis report ensures traceability and catches missed requirements.
