traceability-auditor

Traceability validation maps requirements forward through design, tasks, and code to tests, then traces tests backward to requirements. This Skill audits end-to-end coverage, generates traceability matrices, and identifies gaps—orphaned requirements or untested code—ensuring 100% coverage across your SDLC artifacts.

A traceability matrix is a table linking requirements to design decisions, tasks, code, and test cases. You need one to verify every requirement has corresponding design, implementation, and test coverage, and to detect which requirements lack tests or which code has no backing requirement.

Gap detection analyzes your requirements, design, tasks, code, and test artifacts to flag requirements with no corresponding design or tests, and code with no tracing requirement. This audit surfaces coverage gaps so you can close them before release.

Yes. This Skill generates coverage summaries and traceability reports that document what percentage of requirements flow through design, code, and tests. These reports support compliance audits and demonstrate end-to-end coverage across your SDLC.

Forward traceability maps requirements down to design, tasks, code, and tests—answering 'is this requirement implemented and tested?' Backward traceability traces tests up to requirements—answering 'does this test link to a real requirement?' Both directions catch coverage gaps.

The Skill works with your project's existing artifacts—requirements, design documents, task lists, code, and tests. Provide these in their native format; the audit cross-references them to generate matrices and coverage reports without requiring format conversion or external tools.
