SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Codebases frequently drift away from documented decisions, ADRs, and established patterns, making it hard to reason about architecture and intent. This Skill provides a structured way to verify alignment and surface violations before they impact delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validate alignment between code and documented specs, ADR decisions, and pattern guidelines.
  • Generate actionable findings with severity and evidence to guide remediation.
  • Non-destructive checks that report issues without automatically changing code.

Quick Start

Run /blueprint:validate to scan your repository for spec, pattern, and ADR compliance.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my codebase for spec and ADR compliance?▼

To audit codebase compliance, run a validation scan that checks your repository against documented specs, ADR decisions, and established patterns to surface architectural drift. It generates a structured report with severity and evidence.

What is architecture decision record verification for a large repository?▼

ADR verification validates that codebase implementation aligns with documented Architecture Decision Records, checking tech stack, boundaries, and pattern references to ensure traceable decisions and architectural intent are maintained.

Can I check codebase pattern compliance without automatically modifying code?▼

Yes, you can perform non-destructive checks that report spec and pattern violations without changing code. The audit generates actionable findings with evidence to guide manual remediation.

How do I validate feature coverage and tech stack alignment in an evolving codebase?▼

Validate feature coverage and tech stack alignment by scanning the repository against documented specs and ADRs. The audit identifies missing features or unauthorized stack deviations and outputs a structured compliance report.

When do I need to validate code boundaries against documented specs?▼

You need to validate code boundaries when teams work with evolving architectures and require traceable decisions. It enforces documentation-aligned boundaries, preventing architectural drift before it impacts delivery.

Does blueprint:validate work for teams with evolving architecture and traceable decisions?▼

Yes, the blueprint:validate audit is designed for large repositories and teams with evolving architectures. It verifies ADR references, pattern compliance, and spec alignment to maintain traceable decisions.
