Requirements Traceability Manager Skill
Purpose
The Requirements Traceability Manager Skill ensures comprehensive traceability throughout the medical device design control process, linking user needs to design inputs, design outputs, and verification/validation activities per 21 CFR 820.30.
Capabilities
- Bidirectional traceability matrix generation
- Requirements coverage analysis
- Gap identification in V&V coverage
- Design change impact analysis
- Traceability report generation
- DHF (Design History File) completeness checking
- User needs to design input mapping
- Design output to verification linking
- Risk control to requirements tracing
- Regulatory requirement coverage tracking
- Orphan requirement identification
Usage Guidelines
When to Use
- Establishing design control traceability
- Conducting V&V coverage analysis
- Assessing design change impacts
- Preparing for regulatory audits
Prerequisites
- User needs documented
- Design inputs established
- Design outputs defined
- V&V protocols available
Best Practices
- Establish traceability from project inception
- Update matrices with every design change
- Verify bidirectional completeness regularly
- Integrate with requirements management tools
Process Integration
This skill integrates with the following processes:
- Design Control Process Implementation
- Verification and Validation Test Planning
- Software Development Lifecycle (IEC 62304)
- Medical Device Risk Management (ISO 14971)
Dependencies
- Requirements management tools (Jama Connect, Polarion, DOORS)
- Design documentation systems
- Test management platforms
- Change control systems

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).
