SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Identify inconsistencies, duplications, ambiguities, and underspecified items across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md after task generation to ensure readiness for implementation and reduce rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Non-destructive cross-artifact analysis that surfaces gaps, contradictions, and missing acceptance criteria across the backlog items.
  • Generates a structured, machine-readable report suitable for governance and remediation planning.
  • Flags constitution alignment issues and coverage gaps to guide follow-up actions.

Quick Start

Run /speckit.analyze after /speckit.tasks has produced a complete tasks.md to generate the analysis report.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-analyze

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

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

Cross-artifact quality analysis identifies inconsistencies, duplications, ambiguities, and underspecified items across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md after task generation to ensure readiness for implementation.

How do I validate my project backlog against constitution guidelines?▼

Constitution alignment validation flags governance gaps and missing conformance within the backlog items by checking requirements, user stories, and tasks against the .specify/memory/constitution.md guiding principles.

What is the best way to find missing acceptance criteria in my spec backlog?▼

Non-destructive cross-artifact analysis surfaces underspecified items and missing acceptance criteria across the backlog items, producing a structured report for remediation planning.

Can I use cross-artifact analysis on a SPEC KIT project before implementation?▼

Yes, this analysis assumes a SPEC KIT project structure and evaluates the core artifacts to ensure readiness for implementation, reducing rework by identifying coverage gaps prior to development.

When should I run cross-artifact consistency checks on my spec documents?▼

You should run cross-artifact consistency checks after /speckit.tasks has produced a complete tasks.md file to evaluate requirements, user stories, and tasks for completeness and coverage.

Does cross-artifact spec analysis modify my existing project files?▼

No, the cross-artifact spec analysis is non-destructive; it evaluates the existing artifacts and produces a separate structured, machine-readable report for governance and remediation planning.
