Cross-artifact consistency analysis compares spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md to identify gaps, duplications, and ambiguities. It ensures alignment across all project artifacts before development begins, preventing costly rework.

Cross-artifact consistency analysis is the process of comparing specification, planning, and task documents to flag requirements without tasks, find conflicting information, and detect terminology drift across the project.

Yes, cross-artifact analysis requires a structured project directory containing spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md files. It validates these documents against a project constitution to ensure adherence to core principles.

Gap detection flags requirements without corresponding tasks and vice-versa. By running a consistency check across your specification and task documents, you confirm every requirement is addressed by at least one task.

Run consistency checks after generating tasks for a new feature and before implementation begins. This timing confirms that no task contradicts the project's core principles and prevents costly errors during development.
