SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill identifies and resolves discrepancies between software specifications (spec) and the actual code implementation, ensuring code accurately reflects its intended design.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discrepancy Detection: Compares spec files against code to find differences in logic, contracts, state, and side effects.
  • Actionable Recommendations: Provides concrete options for code or spec modification, complete with evaluations of pros and cons.
  • User-Guided Resolution: Presents findings and choices to the user for final decision-making on how to rectify deviations.
  • Use Case: After a spec update, use this Skill to automatically pinpoint where the code no longer matches the new requirements and get clear suggestions on how to update the code or the spec.

Quick Start

Use the spec-to-code skill to analyze the differences between the specification file 'documents/spec/spec-v2.1.md' and the current codebase.

Frequently Asked Questions about spec-to-code

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect discrepancies between software specifications and code implementations?▼

To detect specification and code discrepancies, compare spec files against code logic, contracts, state, and side effects. This identifies where the codebase no longer matches the intended design and presents findings for user-guided resolution.

What is the best way to align code with an updated spec-v2.1 format?▼

The best way to align code with a spec-v2.1 update is to compare the new specification file against the current codebase. This evaluates differences in logic and side effects, offering concrete modification options with pros and cons.

Can I get actionable recommendations for resolving code and specification misalignment?▼

Yes, you can get actionable recommendations for misalignment by analyzing differences between specifications and code. The system provides concrete options for modifying either the code or the spec, complete with evaluations of pros and cons.

How do I update my codebase after a software specification change?▼

To update a codebase after a specification change, compare the updated spec file against existing code logic. This highlights deviations in contracts and state, allowing you to decide whether to modify the code or adjust the specification.

Does discrepancy detection for software specifications require specific file formats?▼

Discrepancy detection supports the spec-v2.1 format. You provide your software specification files, such as a markdown document, to compare against the current codebase for differences in logic, contracts, state, and side effects.
