What problem does it solve?

Identify cross-artifact inconsistencies, duplications, ambiguities, and underspecified items across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md without modifying any files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Non-destructive analysis across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md after task generation.
  • Flag duplications, ambiguities, and underspecified items with severity levels.
  • Map findings to actionable remediation guidance and traceability to tasks.

Quick Start

Run /speckit.analyze after /speckit.tasks to produce a structured report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check for inconsistencies between spec, plan, and tasks files?

To check for inconsistencies between spec, plan, and tasks files, run a cross-artifact analysis to detect duplications, ambiguities, and underspecified items. This process surfaces actionable remediation opportunities without modifying your original markdown files.

What is cross-artifact analysis in software spec planning?

Cross-artifact analysis in software spec planning identifies mismatches, duplications, and underspecified items across spec, plan, and tasks documents. It highlights findings with risk severities to ensure traceability and alignment without altering your files.

How do I audit tasks.md against spec.md and plan.md?

Audit tasks.md against spec.md and plan.md by running a non-destructive analysis after task generation. This flags underspecified items and ambiguities, producing a compact, structured report with risk severities and optional remediation guidance.

Can I analyze spec and plan documents without modifying the files?

Yes, you can analyze spec and plan documents without modifying the files by using a non-destructive audit process. It reads your markdown artifacts and outputs a separate structured report detailing findings and remediation opportunities.

When should I run a spec kit audit on my tasks?

Run a spec kit audit on your tasks immediately after a complete tasks.md file is generated. Applying the analysis at this stage ensures all cross-artifact inconsistencies and underspecified items are caught early before implementation begins.

Why does my spec plan have underspecified items and ambiguities?

Spec plans often have underspecified items and ambiguities due to misalignment across separate planning documents. A structured cross-artifact analysis identifies these exact gaps, maps them to tasks, and provides remediation guidance to resolve them.
