What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents wasted engineering effort by detecting inconsistencies, duplicates, ambiguities, and missing coverage across your spec, plan, and generated tasks artifacts before implementation starts.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Cross-artifact consistency analysis: Compares requirements and success criteria in spec.md against architecture choices and constraints in plan.md, and then checks whether tasks.md actually covers them.
- Duplication and ambiguity detection: Flags near-duplicate requirements and vague or unmeasurable success criteria, plus unresolved placeholders.
- Constitution-aligned validation: Ensures analysis adheres to the non-negotiable principles in
.specify/memory/constitution.md, treating MUST conflicts as critical.
- Read-only, report-only output: Produces a structured Markdown report without modifying files and recommends an optional remediation plan only after user approval.
Quick Start
Ask to run speckit-analyze after tasks generation to get a structured report of inconsistencies and coverage gaps across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md.
