SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you close missing or incomplete Nyquist validation checks after a phase has already been completed, preventing overlooked quality gaps from slipping into later work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validation coverage audit: Detects whether phase artifacts include the expected VALIDATION.md and identifies gaps relative to the Nyquist validation expectations.
  • Auto-reconstruction from artifacts: When VALIDATION.md is missing but SUMMARY.md exists, it reconstructs validation guidance from available phase outputs to restore continuity.
  • Test generation: Produces generated test files aligned to the reconstructed or audited validation plan so the phase can be re-verified deterministically.

Quick Start

Run the gsd-validate-phase skill for phase 3 to audit and fill Nyquist validation gaps and write the updated VALIDATION.md plus the generated test files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit and repair missing Nyquist validation coverage for a completed phase?▼

You can reconstruct validation documentation by reading existing SUMMARY.md files and phase outputs, generating a VALIDATION.md file and aligned test files to restore missing workflow gates without restarting the phase.

What are workflow gates in Nyquist validation and when do I need to repair them?▼

Workflow gates are phase quality checkpoints requiring VALIDATION.md and generated tests. You need to repair them after a completed phase has missing or incomplete validation artifacts to prevent quality gaps from entering later work.

Can I generate test files from a phase summary when VALIDATION.md is missing?▼

Yes, when VALIDATION.md is missing but SUMMARY.md exists, validation guidance is reconstructed from available phase outputs, producing generated test files aligned to the reconstructed plan for deterministic phase re-verification.

What's the best way to fill validation documentation gaps in test generation workflows?▼

You can reconstruct validation documentation by reading existing SUMMARY.md files and phase outputs, generating a VALIDATION.md file and aligned test files to restore missing workflow gates without restarting the phase.

Does this phase documentation repair process require any external dependencies?▼

No external dependencies are required. The process reads and writes phase files internally, auditing existing artifacts like SUMMARY.md to reconstruct validation and output updated VALIDATION.md files with generated tests.
