SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams verify that a concrete implementation matches the corresponding change artifacts (specs, tasks, and design) before archiving.

Core Features & Use Cases

Validation against delta specs: Compare changes with the specified requirements and scenarios to ensure alignment.
Artifact-driven verification: Utilizes context files from openspec changes to surface completeness, correctness, and coherence.
Actionable guidance: Generates concrete recommendations and file-level references to fix gaps.

Quick Start

Validate a given change by loading its context and running the verification workflow to produce a structured report.

FAQPage Schema

How do I verify code changes against delta specifications before archiving?▼

To verify changes against delta specifications, the skill loads change context and artifacts to generate a structured verification report. It enforces evidence-based assessment by checking task completion, spec coverage, and coherence with design patterns.

What is artifact-driven verification for OpenSpec changes?▼

Artifact-driven verification utilizes context files from OpenSpec changes to surface completeness, correctness, and coherence. It compares concrete implementations with specified requirements and scenarios to ensure alignment before archiving.

How do I validate implementation alignment with design and project patterns?▼

Validate implementation alignment by loading change context and running the verification workflow. It enforces evidence-based assessment by checking task completion, spec coverage, and coherence with design and project patterns to produce actionable recommendations.

Can I get actionable recommendations for fixing spec coverage gaps?▼

Yes, you can get actionable recommendations for fixing spec coverage gaps. The verification process generates concrete recommendations and file-level references to fix gaps identified during the artifact-driven assessment.

Does the verification workflow list available OpenSpec changes automatically?▼

Yes, the verification workflow operates across changes by listing available OpenSpec changes automatically. It then loads their context and artifacts to generate a structured verification report for each identified change.

What are the limitations of automated spec verification for change artifacts?▼

Automated spec verification relies on the quality of existing change artifacts and delta specifications. It cannot verify implementations lacking associated context files, specs, tasks, or design artifacts.
