FAQPage Schema
How do I detect spec-code drift between archived specifications and implementation code?

Spec-code drift detection compares archived specifications against current implementation code to identify deviations. This process assumes spec changes reflect intended code modifications and requires access to both spec and code repositories for accurate comparison.

What is spec-code drift analysis and when do I need to run it?

Spec-code drift analysis identifies potential deviations between archived specifications and their corresponding implementation code. You need to run it when reviewing code changes after a feature update to maintain code health and compliance.

How to generate a health report for drifted specifications after a feature update?

Generate a health report by initiating a spec-code drift scan to compare archived specs against current code. The output provides a detailed health status report indicating drifted specs and their impact on the codebase.

Do I need access to both spec and code repositories to check for spec-code drift?

Yes, checking for spec-code drift requires access to both spec and code repositories for comparison. The analysis operates on the assumption that archived spec changes reflect intended code modifications.

What's the best way to monitor code health and compliance using archived spec analysis?

Monitor code health by running archived spec analysis to compare archived specifications against corresponding code. This identifies potential spec-code drift and outputs a detailed health status report indicating compliance issues.
