spec-validator

Specification validation checks whether your implementation addresses all requirements, acceptance criteria, and documentation updates outlined in the spec. This Skill parses the spec, verifies acceptance criteria completion, confirms modified files align with requirements, and ensures tests and documentation have been updated accordingly.

Acceptance criteria validation confirms that checkboxes and conditions defined in your specification are met by the implementation. It verifies each criterion is addressed, preventing incomplete implementations from progressing to archival.

This Skill assesses implementation readiness by computing a validation score across requirements coverage, test additions, and documentation updates. It updates the spec frontmatter with status, giving you a clear signal whether the implementation satisfies the spec.

Yes, this Skill integrates into spec validation workflows, particularly during the FABER Evaluate phase. It takes a spec path and issue reference, then validates changes and updates against that specification context.

Specification validation uses bash scripting, jq for JSON parsing, grep for pattern matching, and sed for text processing. It works with spec files containing YAML frontmatter and markdown content to parse requirements and acceptance criteria.

The validation score reflects incomplete coverage, and the spec frontmatter status is updated to indicate gaps. This prevents premature archival and highlights which acceptance criteria remain unaddressed.
