Perform a read-only consistency analysis after the task list has been generated.
Input: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, infer from context or ask.
This skill makes no file modifications.
Steps
Load artifacts
Load the change artifacts under
specs/changes/<name>/:spec.md(required)plan.md(required)tasks.md(required)
If
tasks.mdis missing, prompt to use thespec-kit-tasksskill first.Also load FRAMEWORK.md as the governing principles baseline.
Run consistency checks
Analyze across these dimensions:
Dimension What to check Coverage Every user story in spec.md has corresponding tasks in tasks.md Alignment Plan architecture matches spec goals and constraints FRAMEWORK.md compliance No dependency rule violations, no anemic domain model, ports present for external dependencies Duplication Overlapping requirements or tasks Ambiguity Vague terms without measurable criteria Terminology drift Same concept named differently across artifacts Orphans Tasks with no corresponding requirement, or requirements with no tasks Produce findings
Output a structured findings table:
## Analysis: <change-name> ### Findings | ID | Severity | Dimension | Description | Location | |----|----------|-----------|-------------|----------| ### Coverage Summary | Requirement | Task IDs | |-------------|----------| ### FRAMEWORK.md Violations <List any violations. CRITICAL severity — must be fixed before proceeding.> ### Metrics - Total findings: N - Critical: N | High: N | Medium: N | Low: N ### Recommended Next Actions <Ordered list of what to fix.>Severity: CRITICAL (FRAMEWORK.md violation) > HIGH > MEDIUM > LOW.
Output
After the analysis:
- If CRITICAL findings exist: "Fix FRAMEWORK.md violations before proceeding. Do not use the
spec-kit-implementskill until these are resolved." - If no critical findings: "Use the
spec-kit-implementskill to execute the validated task list."
Guardrails
- Read-only. Never modify any file.
- FRAMEWORK.md violations are always CRITICAL — never downgrade or ignore them.
- Deterministic: re-running on the same artifacts produces the same findings.
