spec-finalize

Cross-linking specification documents involves updating requirements.md, design.md, and tasks.md with mutual references. This process generates a comprehensive SPEC_INDEX.md summarizing relationships between user stories, requirements, components, and tasks while verifying traceability coverage across the entire specification package.

A traceability matrix maps relationships between user stories, requirements, components, and tasks within a specification package. You generate one during the final stage of specification creation to verify content completeness and ensure all elements are accounted for before implementation begins.

Verifying specification package completeness involves checking for file existence, non-empty content, and valid JSON in context.json. This validation confirms traceability coverage across requirements, design, and tasks documents, ensuring all specification elements are properly cross-linked and accounted for before implementation begins.

Yes, you can automatically generate a SPEC_INDEX.md summarizing relationships between user stories, requirements, components, and tasks. This comprehensive traceability matrix is created during specification finalization by cross-linking related documents and verifying content completeness across the package.

Automated specification cross-linking applies only to the final stage of specification creation and requires existing requirements.md, design.md, and tasks.md files. It validates file existence, content size, JSON validity, and traceability coverage but cannot generate missing specification content from scratch.
