SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Pre-build gap analysis helps teams verify that SPEC.md acceptance criteria are fully covered by PLAN.md tasks, surfacing missing coverage before implementation to reduce scope creep and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reads and analyzes SPEC.md to extract acceptance criteria, assumptions, and open questions, along with spec metadata.
  • Scans PLAN.md files across planning phases to map task coverage to requirements, producing a comprehensive gap report with BLOCK/WARN/INFO findings.
  • Generates machine-readable VALIDATION.md to drive PR traceability and decision gates.

Quick Start

Run the validation workflow against the project planning docs to surface gaps and push findings to the repository.

Frequently Asked Questions about silver-validate

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is pre-build gap analysis for SPEC and PLAN alignment?▼

Pre-build gap analysis verifies that SPEC.md acceptance criteria are fully covered by PLAN.md tasks, surfacing missing coverage as machine-readable findings to reduce scope creep and rework before implementation begins.

How do I check if my spec acceptance criteria have missing coverage in my implementation plan?▼

Run a validation workflow that scans SPEC.md for acceptance criteria and maps PLAN.md tasks across phases, generating a comprehensive gap report with BLOCK, WARN, and INFO findings to expose missing coverage.

Can I generate machine-readable validation findings for PR traceability?▼

Yes, the validation workflow outputs a machine-readable VALIDATION.md file containing structured findings that drive PR traceability and decision gates directly from the analyzed spec and plan documents.

Does spec review extract assumptions and open questions from project planning docs?▼

Yes, spec review reads and analyzes SPEC.md to extract acceptance criteria, assumptions, open questions, and spec metadata to ensure all potential planning gaps are surfaced before implementation.

What is the best way to trace implementation tasks back to spec requirements?▼

Analyze PLAN.md files across planning phases to map task coverage to spec requirements, producing a comprehensive gap report that identifies traceability holes and outputs structured validation findings.
