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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a checklist to verify requirement quality from project specs?▼

It creates or appends checklist items under FEATURE_DIR/checklists/[domain].md. You need to specify a domain focus and provide the existing spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md files so the checklist can be tailored to the current feature context.

What is traceability in requirement checklists and how is it maintained?▼

Generated checklists are saved as CHK items in a canonical markdown template under the feature's checklists directory. This standard format ensures checklists remain consistent and appends cleanly to existing backlog governance files.

Can I use this to create testable requirement questions for an existing feature backlog?▼

Yes, it reads existing project tasks and plans to produce unit-test-style questions that evaluate clarity, consistency, and coverage for ongoing backlog governance. It appends these items directly to your existing domain checklists without overwriting previous validations.

Does generating requirement checklists work without external dependencies?▼

Generating requirement checklists works without external dependencies. The Skill operates independently using your provided project structure and user input to perform spec-analysis and extract domain-relevant requirements.
