SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Verifies that an implementation matches the change artifacts (specs, tasks, design) to ensure changes are complete, correct, and coherent before archiving.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Artifact presence validation: checks for the existence of delta specs, tasks, and design artifacts and ensures the codebase maps to the change requirements.
  • Verification report generation: produces a three-dimension report (Completeness, Correctness, Coherence) with actionable recommendations and a final archival assessment.
  • Guided change verification: reads change context via openspec commands, loads available artifacts, and suggests remediation steps.

Quick Start

Provide the change name to verify and run the verification flow to obtain a comprehensive report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify my code implementation matches design specs before archiving?

Spec verification audits code against declared design artifacts by evaluating completeness, correctness, and coherence. It performs presence checks and mapping accuracy validation to produce a structured report with actionable recommendations and a final archival decision.

What does a change management verification report include?

A change verification report covers three dimensions: completeness, correctness, and coherence. It enforces artifact presence checks, mapping accuracy, and scenario coverage, concluding with actionable recommendations and an archival assessment.

How do I check if my change specs and tasks are complete?

Check change artifact completeness by validating the presence of delta specs, tasks, and design artifacts. The verification process ensures the codebase accurately maps to the declared change requirements and evaluates scenario coverage.

Can I automate design coherence checks for my software changes?

Yes, automated design coherence checks evaluate whether an implementation matches declared change artifacts. The process reads change context, loads available artifacts, and outputs a structured verification report across completeness, correctness, and coherence.

What should I do if my codebase does not map to my change requirements?

If your codebase fails to map to change requirements, the verification report provides actionable remediation steps. It identifies presence check failures and mapping inaccuracies, suggesting specific fixes before making an archival decision.
