SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Dispatch a structured cross-phase review of a phase artefact against its cited prior artefacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates validation that phase artefacts satisfy prior phase requirements and designs (REQ/DES/TEST).
  • Ensures traceability by generating formal review records stored per feature.
  • Use Case: For a new feature, run phase-review to verify that the requirements, design, and tests align and are properly linked.

Quick Start

Run phase-review <phase> <feature-id> to generate a formal artefact review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate traceability across SDLC phase artefacts?▼

You can validate traceability by dispatching a structured cross-phase review that checks a phase artefact against its cited prior requirements, design, or test specifications for a given feature ID.

What is cross-phase gate validation for software specifications?▼

Cross-phase gate validation is a quality assurance process that verifies requirements-spec, design-spec, and test-spec artefacts align properly and ensures citations resolve to declared IDs.

How do I generate formal review records for feature specifications?▼

You generate formal review records by running a phase review command with a phase and feature ID, which stores the validation results as a markdown file in the feature's reviews directory.

Does phase review work with requirements, design, and test specs?▼

Yes, phase review applies to requirements-spec, design-spec, and test-spec artefacts, validating that each phase satisfies prior requirements and designs while ensuring proper traceability links.

What happens when artefact citations do not resolve to declared IDs?▼

When artefact citations do not resolve to declared IDs, the structured review process identifies these validation failures, preventing untraceable specifications from passing quality assurance gates.
