SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Identifies gaps and inconsistencies in feature backlogs by cross-checking features_backlog.md with the concept_summary.md and epics_backlog.md (or epics.md) to ensure epic coverage, alignment with release targets, and minimize leakage.

Core Features & Use Cases

Validate epic coverage against the concept summary and epics backlog to surface missing areas.
Detect cross-epic leakage and features that do not map to any epic.
Recommend minimal patches to restore alignment and reduce scope creep.

Quick Start

Run a backlog validation pass to generate a report and update the latest validators index.

FAQPage Schema

How do I validate epic coverage for my product backlog?▼

Validating epic coverage requires cross-checking your features backlog against the concept summary and epics backlog to identify missing areas and features that do not map to any epic.

What is cross-epic leakage in a features backlog?▼

Cross-epic leakage occurs when backlog features bleed outside defined epic boundaries. Validation detects this misalignment and recommends minimal patches to restore scope and reduce creep.

How do I check backlog alignment with release targets?▼

Checking backlog alignment involves validating feature entries against the concept summary to ensure consistent IDs and release targets, surfacing concrete gaps where release expectations diverge.

Can I generate a report to find gaps in my feature backlog?▼

You can generate a validation report by running a pass on your backlog. This produces run artifacts under the ideas directory and updates the latest validators index with coverage findings.

What is the best way to fix scope creep in an epics backlog?▼

Fixing scope creep involves running a validation pass to detect cross-epic leakage and unmapped features, then applying the generated minimal patch recommendations to restore epic alignment.
