SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Automates the rigorous verification that implementations faithfully realize design specifications and planned requirements, reducing drift and manual review overhead.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated alignment checks: verify that code implements the specified design and plan, including test coverage and TDD adherence.
  • Integrated artifact review: operate from a combined diff and design/plan artifacts to produce a consolidated verdict across tasks.
  • Guided feedback loop: return a structured verdict with issues to drive fixes and re-verification.

Quick Start

Learn to initiate a spec review on the current feature branch and obtain a formal, machine-readable verdict.

Frequently Asked Questions about spec-review

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate spec compliance auditing between design plans and code implementations?▼

You can automate spec compliance auditing by applying integrated diffs and design artefacts to verify functional coverage, testing discipline, and specification alignment. This process executes deterministic verification commands to produce a structured verdict.

What is specification drift and how do I verify my code aligns with my design plan?▼

Specification drift occurs when code implementations fail to faithfully realize design specifications. You can verify alignment by running automated checks on integrated diffs and design artifacts to audit functional coverage and TDD adherence.

How do I check TDD adherence and test coverage against a feature specification?▼

To check TDD adherence and test coverage, you run automated alignment checks that compare integrated code diffs against the planned design artifacts. This verifies that your testing discipline matches the specified functional requirements.

Can I perform a full feature review using only integrated diffs and design artifacts?▼

Yes, you can perform a full feature review by operating from a combined diff and design or plan artifacts. This consolidated approach allows you to verify specification alignment across multiple tasks and produce a single formal verdict.

What is the best way to generate a structured verdict for specification compliance issues?▼

The best way to generate a structured verdict is to execute deterministic verification commands on your design and code artifacts. This guided feedback loop returns a formal, machine-readable verdict highlighting issues to drive fixes.

What are the limitations of automated diff review for specification alignment?▼

Automated diff review relies on the completeness of integrated design artifacts and code diffs to verify specification alignment. It cannot detect unspoken design intentions or verify compliance for features lacking formal, documented specifications.
