SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Validates that changes meet project standards before code review to prevent regressions and misalignments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Checks that changes align with the design document and project conventions.
  • Verifies that local environment changes are documented or updated (config files, env vars).
  • Ensures important files are ignored or updated in .gitignore as needed.
  • Provides a quick pass/fail signal to streamline the review process.

Quick Start

Run validate-changes before submitting a code review to ensure all checklist items are satisfied.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate code changes against a design document before code review?

To validate code changes against a design document, run a pre-review check that flags divergences from project conventions. This ensures proposed modifications meet project standards and align with the original design specifications before submission.

How do I check for missing environment variables and config updates in local development?

Checking for missing environment variables involves verifying that local config files and env vars are documented or updated. Pre-review validation enforces this documentation to prevent misalignments and environment-related regressions during local development.

What is the best way to enforce .gitignore hygiene for new project files?

Enforcing .gitignore hygiene requires checking that important files are ignored or updated as needed during development. Pre-review validation ensures your ignore lists are updated, preventing sensitive or unnecessary files from entering version control.

Does pre-review validation provide a pass or fail signal for code changes?

Yes, pre-review validation provides a quick pass/fail signal for code changes. This mechanism streamlines the review process by immediately indicating whether all checklist items, including design alignment and config updates, are satisfied.

Can I use automated quality assurance to prevent regressions in my dev workflow?

You can use automated quality assurance to prevent regressions in your dev workflow by validating changes meet project standards before code review. This process checks environment configuration, .gitignore hygiene, and design document alignment.
