traceability-manager

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams establish and audit end-to-end bidirectional traceability from requirements to implementation and validation, enabling coverage assurance and accurate change impact analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Typed bidirectional links: Defines a controlled vocabulary of link types (e.g., originates-from, refines, implements, validated-by, governed-by) to keep relationships explicit and governable.
• Coverage and orphan detection: Classifies requirements by coverage level and flags orphans (requirements, tasks, APIs, validations, policies) that lack required link structure.
• Change impact analysis: Traces forward and backward to identify the complete set of affected artifacts before changes are made.
• Governance-ready outputs: Generates a traceability model snapshot or a traceability plan in consistent Markdown output structures.

Quick Start

Use the traceability-manager skill to generate a Markdown traceability model for your current project artifacts by mapping requirements, tasks, APIs, validation evidence, and policies into a typed relationship graph.
