Agent skill
cross-artifact-analysis

Cross-Artifact Analysis
Overview
Analyze all pipeline artifacts (constitution, specification, plan, tasks) for consistency, coverage, and alignment. This is the pre-implementation quality gate that ensures all artifacts are coherent before code is written.
When to Use
- After task decomposition, before implementation
- When verifying that all specification requirements have corresponding tasks
- When checking for contradictions between constitution and plan
- When assessing readiness for the implementation phase
Key Principle
Every specification requirement must be traceable through the plan to at least one task. No artifact should contradict another. Coverage gaps and conflicts must be resolved before implementation.
Process
- Build traceability matrix - Map requirements -> plan components -> tasks
- Detect coverage gaps - Requirements without corresponding tasks
- Identify conflicts - Contradictory constraints or requirements across artifacts
- Verify constitution compliance - Plan and tasks comply with governance
- Check acceptance criteria - Task criteria match specification requirements
- Score consistency - Numeric score (0-100) across dimensions
- Determine readiness - Boolean assessment for implementation phase
- Human review - Approve analysis results before proceeding

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
