To validate specs and plans, identify incomplete sections and classify gaps by severity to guide prioritization. This ensures your specs are complete before proceeding and routes unresolved gaps to appropriate specialists.

Severity-based gap classification categorizes spec and plan gaps by their downstream impact to guide prioritization. It helps distinguish which gaps are safe to auto-heal from context and which require manual follow-up during governance checkpoints.

Spec gap analysis applies during product development reviews, sprint planning, and governance checkpoints to evaluate specs and plans. It prevents stalled work and improves traceability by routing unresolved gaps to appropriate specialists.

The best way to route unresolved spec gaps is to classify them by severity and downstream impact, then emit gap reports that distinguish fixed, skipped, and manual follow-up items. This guides specialists to close gaps efficiently.

Spec validation skips gaps because safe auto-healing constraints only fix what is safe from context or approved research outputs. Gaps requiring manual intervention are flagged in the gap report for specialist follow-up.
