SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Gap between an in-progress task pack and the actual codebase can lead to misaligned implementations. This skill enforces a code-as-truth approach by auditing plans, work-breakdown, findings, and companion task files to ensure consistency with the repository.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Critically review active task packs against the repo to identify gaps, stale assumptions, missing rollout steps, and contract risks.
  • Tighten task packs directly in place to align with current Clawperator implementation, enabling safer progress and clearer ownership.
  • Provide actionable edits and validation guidance so weaker agents can execute tightened guidance a path toward implementation.

Quick Start

Run task-author-review <task-path> to audit an in-progress task pack against the codebase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit task documentation against my codebase?

Auditing task documentation against a codebase requires comparing task pack files like plan.md and work-breakdown.md with actual repository contracts. This review enforces a code-as-truth approach, identifying stale assumptions and misaligned implementations before execution.

Why does my task pack implementation drift from the documented contracts?

Task pack implementation drifts from documented contracts when plans, findings, and work-breakdown files are not updated to reflect codebase changes. Code-first auditing exposes these gaps, stale assumptions, and missing rollout steps to ensure documentation alignment.

How do I review a task folder for missing rollout steps and contract risks?

Reviewing a task folder for missing rollout steps involves auditing task pack files against real codebase contracts. This process identifies gaps, contract risks, and stale assumptions, providing actionable edits to tighten documentation alignment and safer progress.

Can I tighten task pack files directly in place to align with the codebase?

Yes, tightening task pack files directly in place aligns plan.md, findings.md, and companion prompts with the current codebase. This code-first audit provides actionable edits and validation guidance to improve accuracy, safety, and ownership before implementation.

What is code-first review for task packs?

Code-first review for task packs is an auditing approach that treats the repository as the source of truth. It validates documented contracts against the implementation, enforcing explicit ownership and validation expectations to guide actionable edits for documentation alignment.

Does task pack auditing work for weaker agents executing implementation guidance?

Task pack auditing supports weaker agents by providing actionable edits and validation guidance after tightening plans against the codebase. This ensures safer progress and clearer ownership, giving weaker agents a reliable path toward implementation accuracy.
