SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Feature work often ships with only spot-checked validation, leaving Success Criteria and Functional Requirements unverified or silently assumed to pass. This Skill closes that gap by running a feature's quickstart or acceptance checklist as a strict integration gate where every requirement must be bound to an executed step. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full Coverage Mapping: Binds every Success Criterion and Functional Requirement in the spec to a concrete, executed checklist step, flagging unbound items as explicit GAPs. - Three-State Verdicts: Marks each row pass, fail, GAP, or blocked, so missing environments or dependencies never masquerade as coverage. - Bidirectional Traceability: Confirms every checklist step maps back to a named requirement, flagging orphan checks that validate nothing. - Use Case: After implementing a feature with a quickstart guide, run this gate to produce a coverage ledger proving each spec claim was actually executed — including reinstall-survival scenarios — before declaring the feature done. ## Quick Start Run the quickstart checklist for this feature as an integration gate and produce a coverage ledger mapping every Success Criterion and Functional Requirement to executed steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate that every spec requirement is actually tested?

Bind each Success Criterion and Functional Requirement to a named, executed checklist step before running anything. Any requirement without a concrete executed step is recorded as an explicit GAP rather than folded into a general pass.

How to run a quickstart checklist as an integration gate?

Enumerate all spec requirements, execute every bound step and observe real output, then produce a coverage ledger with one row per requirement marked pass, fail, GAP, or blocked. A single GAP or blocked row withholds the gate's overall pass.

What happens when a test step cannot be executed?

The step is recorded as blocked, a third state distinct from pass and fail, whenever a prerequisite is missing or the environment is unavailable. Blocked steps never count toward coverage and prevent the gate from closing.

Does this handle reinstall or redeploy verification?

Yes, when the spec claims reinstall or redeploy survival, it is treated as its own executed scenario. The same steps are re-run against the reinstalled artifact and the results diffed for parity.

When should I not use a checklist-based integration gate?

It is less suitable when a feature has no runnable quickstart or acceptance checklist to execute, since the gate requires concrete steps to bind requirements to. In that case, write the checklist first or use lower-level unit and integration tests.
