SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps ensure implemented work aligns with the design and plan, surfaces gaps and deviations, and produces a formal review artifact to guide next steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Design alignment checks: compares implemented tasks against docs/tdd-designs/<design-name>/plan.md and design/detailed-design.md, flagging deviations.
  • Comprehensive review workflow: reads design artifacts, verifies corresponding tests exist, and generates docs/tdd-designs/<design-name>/review.md.
  • Collaborative ownership enforcement: includes preflight steps to ensure only the rightful owner can write the review.

Quick Start

Run a phase review for the specified design to identify gaps, deviations, and write the review.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate phase reviews for TDD design documents?▼

Automate phase reviews by comparing implemented work against plan.md and design.md, running relevant tests, and generating a written review.md artifact to identify deviations and gaps.

What is a design alignment check in TDD?▼

A design alignment check compares completed implementation tasks against detailed-design.md and plan.md artifacts to flag deviations and surface gaps in the design lifecycle.

How do I detect gaps between implementation and design plans?▼

Detect gaps and deviations by reading design artifacts, verifying corresponding tests exist and pass, then writing the findings to review.md for phase-based analysis.

Do I need preflight checks before writing a TDD review artifact?▼

Yes, preflight collaborative ownership enforcement steps are required to ensure only the rightful owner can write the review.md artifact during the phase review workflow.

What's the best way to generate formal review documentation for completed TDD phases?▼

Generate formal review documentation by reading design and plan files, running tests to verify completed tasks, and writing a comprehensive review.md to guide next steps.
