SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps delivery teams confirm that an epic is truly complete by verifying every story's acceptance criteria against the backlog and related artifacts, and by producing a transparent validation report for stakeholders.

Core Features & Use Cases

Generate an acceptance-criteria matrix for each story by cross-referencing backlog.md, work/{EPIC_ID}/requirements.md, work/{EPIC_ID}/design.md, and architecture/solution.md.
Validate evidence in the codebase at {repo}:src to ensure implementation matches the criteria, and check tests coverage.
Produce a structured validation report with findings, deviations, and backlog updates.

Quick Start

Provide the epic backlog and all related artifacts to the validation workflow, then run the validation to generate a report.

FAQPage Schema

How do I validate epic completion against backlog acceptance criteria?▼

Epic completion validation cross-references backlog.md, requirements, design, and source code to confirm all acceptance criteria are satisfied. It generates a structured validation report enumerating evidence, deviations, and backlog updates.

What is an acceptance-criteria matrix and how does it verify epic readiness?▼

An acceptance-criteria matrix maps each story's requirements from backlog.md and design artifacts to corresponding evidence in the codebase. This confirms implementation matches documented criteria and verifies true epic readiness.

How do I generate a validation report for backlog stories and source code evidence?▼

Provide the epic backlog and related artifacts to the validation workflow. The skill enumerates acceptance criteria, locates corresponding evidence in the repository source, and produces a structured report with findings and deviations.

Can I use this validation workflow without architecture and design artifacts?▼

No, this validation requires access to backlog.md, requirements, design, and architecture artifacts alongside repository source code. All these inputs are necessary to enumerate acceptance criteria and locate corresponding implementation evidence.

What limitations exist when validating codebase evidence against design documents?▼

Validation limitations include dependency on accurate and up-to-date artifacts; if backlog.md, requirements, or design documents are incomplete, the acceptance-criteria matrix and evidence gathering will reflect those gaps in the final report.
