SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires openpyxl, pandas, pyyaml, PyPDF2, docx, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you validate a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Excel file against project requirements, hearing/meeting decisions, and prior assumptions, so gaps, inconsistencies, and missing work can be identified before baseline approval.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Requirements traceability: Finds requirements IDs that are not mapped to any WBS task and flags them as critical.
  • Structural consistency checks: Detects hierarchy/numbering issues such as skipped WBS levels.
  • Content quality review: Flags leaf tasks missing effort estimates and generates targeted findings.
  • Hearing decision cross-checks: Compares hearing note decision text against task names to highlight missing updates.
  • Evidence-backed outputs: Produces an annotated Excel with cell comments and severity color highlighting, plus a prioritized Markdown summary and a JSON gap analysis.

Quick Start

Tell the assistant to review your WBS Excel against your requirements document and (optionally) hearing notes, then generate an annotated Excel and a gap summary report in one run.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check my WBS Excel file for missing requirements traceability?

To check WBS Excel traceability, the review identifies requirement IDs lacking mapped WBS tasks and flags them as critical gaps. It evaluates your Excel file against project requirements to ensure complete traceability before baseline approval.

What is WBS gap analysis and how does it find structural inconsistencies?

WBS gap analysis detects structural inconsistencies by validating hierarchy and numbering patterns within your Excel file. It identifies skipped WBS levels and unmapped requirements to highlight missing work before baseline approval.

Can I cross-check hearing notes against WBS task names in Excel?

Yes, you can cross-check hearing notes against WBS task names to highlight missing updates. The review compares hearing decision text with task descriptions to identify overlooked action items and generate evidence-backed findings.

How do I annotate Excel WBS files with severity color highlighting for quality review?

To annotate Excel WBS files for quality review, the process applies non-destructive cell comments and conditional formatting. This severity color highlighting marks leaf tasks missing effort estimates directly within the original spreadsheet.

Does WBS quality review work with YAML checklists and PDF requirements?

WBS quality review works with YAML checklists and PDF requirements to validate project scope. It uses PyPDF2 and docx dependencies alongside pandas and openpyxl to parse documents and identify mapping gaps.

What is the best way to generate Markdown gap reports from a WBS Excel file?

The best way to generate Markdown gap reports from WBS Excel is to run an automated review that exports prioritized summaries and JSON gap analysis. This produces evidence-backed outputs for downstream baseline approval.
