SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Traceability ensures every model element, requirement, and decision is anchored to a durable, auditable source, enabling trustworthy modeling and reviews.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Durable sourcing: Link model elements to authoritative sources via the SOURCE_INDEX.md.
  • Doc comment enforcement: Ensure every part def, calc def, and constraint def includes a source, reference, and last updated fields.
  • Audit-ready traces: Generate structured traces for compliance reviews and knowledge governance.
  • Use Case: When validating requirements, automatically attach source citations to traceability_matrix entries.

Quick Start

Write a traceability plan for a new feature by mapping sources to requirements and model elements.

Frequently Asked Questions about source-traceability

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I link knowledge artifacts to requirements and model elements for traceability?

To establish traceability, link knowledge artifacts (DI-XXX) directly to requirements (PR-XXX) and model elements. This creates a durable, auditable source chain ensuring every decision is anchored to authoritative documentation.

How do I create an audit-ready traceability matrix for compliance reviews?

Generate an audit-ready traceability matrix by storing citations in data/traceability_matrix.csv with clear Source/Reference fields. This structured trace captures sources and locations for compliance reviews and knowledge governance.

What is the best way to enforce source citations in doc comments?

Enforce source citations in doc comments by ensuring every part def, calc def, and constraint def includes source, reference, and last updated fields. This anchors model elements to authoritative sources via SOURCE_INDEX.md conventions.

Can I use a traceability matrix across design, implement, and spec model workflows?

Yes, traceability applies across design-model, implement-model, spec-model, audit-models, research, and manage-sources workflows. It captures sources, references, and locations in durable artifacts throughout the entire modeling lifecycle.

How do I map authoritative sources to requirements when validating new features?

Map sources to requirements by writing a traceability plan that links authoritative sources from SOURCE_INDEX.md to PR-XXX requirements and model elements. Automatically attach source citations to traceability_matrix entries during validation.

Why does my model element lack an auditable source trail during reviews?

A model element lacks an auditable source trail if it is not linked to durable sources via SOURCE_INDEX.md. Ensure part defs and calc defs include source, reference, and last updated fields to anchor decisions for compliance reviews.
