SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Pre-Implementation Checklist closes the gap between a spec and its realization by providing a rigorous, stage-gated gate before commissioning, ensuring clear vision, sound technical readiness, and alignment with the actual codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated gating of spec-to-code alignment checks before implementation starts.
  • Track 0 alignment verification and remediation prompt generation to fix drift.
  • Documentation of readiness and a go/no-go decision to commission implementation.

Quick Start

Run this skill to generate a final pre-implementation checklist appended to the specification file and used to gate the commission process.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate spec-to-codebase alignment before starting implementation?

To validate specification and codebase alignment, you need a pre-implementation checklist that verifies architecture, APIs, and dependencies. This ensures technical readiness and generates a go/no-go decision to gate the commissioning process.

What is a pre-commission checklist for software governance?

A pre-commission checklist for software governance is a stage-gated validation mechanism. It verifies vision, technical readiness, and Track 0 alignment between the specification and codebase prior to releasing an actionable implementation plan.

How do I automate a readiness gate for Track 0 alignment?

Automating a readiness gate for Track 0 alignment involves running a checklist skill that appends validation criteria to your specification file. It checks architecture and dependencies, then generates remediation prompts to fix any drift.

Does this pre-implementation checklist require any dependencies to run?

No, this pre-implementation checklist requires no external dependencies to run. It operates directly to validate your specification against the codebase and generate readiness documentation for the commissioning process.

What's the best way to document technical readiness before commissioning implementation?

The best way to document technical readiness before commissioning is applying a stage-gated checklist to your specification. This verifies architecture and APIs, outputs remediation prompts for drift, and establishes a clear go/no-go decision.

Why does specification drift happen before implementation starts?

Specification drift happens before implementation due to gaps between the spec and actual codebase architecture. A pre-implementation checklist detects this drift by verifying APIs and dependencies, generating remediation prompts to restore alignment.
