SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill verifies the accuracy and completeness of a Request for Comment (RFC) or design document implementation against the actual codebase, identifying any discrepancies or missing features.

Core Features & Use Cases

RFC/Design Doc Verification: Cross-checks design specifications against actual code.
Automated Checks: Scans for implemented and unimplemented requirements.
Customizable Search: Allows the user to specify URLs or topics for analysis.
Evidence-Based Reporting: Generates a report detailing the level of implementation confidence for each requirement.

Quick Start

Run the verify-rfc skill with the URL to your RFC document: verify-rfc "https://example.com/rfc.doc".

FAQPage Schema

How do I verify codebase compliance with an RFC or design document?▼

To verify codebase compliance with an RFC, you can run an automated audit that cross-checks design specifications against actual code. This process scans the codebase to identify discrepancies, missing features, and unimplemented requirements.

What is RFC specification alignment and how does it work?▼

RFC specification alignment is the process of ensuring actual code implementation matches design expectations. It works by scanning the codebase using search utilities and fetching the design document via HTTP requests to compare implemented versus unimplemented requirements.

Can I check design doc implementation gaps by providing a URL?▼

Yes, you can check design doc implementation gaps by providing a direct URL to the RFC. The system fetches the document via HTTP requests, scans the codebase for specified requirements, and generates an evidence-based report detailing implementation confidence.

Does this codebase analysis tool require any specific dependencies?▼

Yes, this codebase analysis tool requires the Python requests library to handle HTTP requests for fetching design documents. It also utilizes built-in search utilities like grep and glob to perform codebase scanning.

What is the best way to audit a design document against a codebase?▼

The best way to audit a design document against a codebase is to run an automated verification process that cross-checks specifications against actual code. This generates an evidence-based report detailing the implementation confidence level for each requirement.

Are there limitations to automated RFC verification for quality assurance?▼

Automated RFC verification limitations include reliance on text matching via grep and glob for codebase scanning, meaning it may miss semantic implementation gaps. It requires a directly accessible URL to fetch the design document accurately.
