sm:coherence-check

What problem does it solve?

A fast, lightweight gate to detect and name drift in work-in-progress so builders can decide whether to continue or realign before investing more effort. It helps teams catch silent shifts in intent, user focus, or sequencing that otherwise become baked into the product.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Lightweight gate: A two-minute ritual designed to be run at any transition point or whenever something "feels off."
• Four coherence lenses: Intent, User, Sequence, and Soul guide the review and surface where alignment has shifted.
• Scan-friendly output: Prioritized findings, anchors that remain true, and a clear Continue vs Realign decision for quick action.
• Use cases: Run mid-build after an unexpected tool output, between chunks, during prompt iteration, or when a team senses drift.

Quick Start

Ask the coherence check to read the current artifact and answer the four coherence questions, then summarize whether to continue or realign and why.
