SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents incomplete or misaligned feature deliveries by separating specification validation from code quality review, ensuring teams build the right thing before optimizing how it is built.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-Stage Review Pipeline: Validates intent contracts and success criteria before performing detailed code quality analysis.
  • Multi-Factor Quality Checks: Reviews architecture, security, error handling, performance, readability, testing, and potential stub implementations.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill when a major feature is complete or a pull request is ready and you need a rigorous review against requirements and implementation quality.

Quick Start

Run the staged review skill on the completed feature or pull request to validate requirements and code quality before merging.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a pull request against software specifications before merging?▼

A staged review validates software changes by separating specification validation from code quality review. It checks intent contracts and success criteria first, then analyzes architecture, security, and performance to ensure teams build the right feature before optimizing implementation.

What is a staged code review process for feature completion?▼

A staged code review separates specification validation from implementation quality analysis. It first validates intent contracts and success criteria, then reviews architecture, security, error handling, performance, and testing to prevent incomplete or misaligned feature deliveries.

How do I detect stub implementations in a pull request review?▼

Detect stub implementations by applying a multi-factor quality assessment that scans for potential stubs alongside architecture, security, error handling, performance, readability, and testing checks. This ensures incomplete code blocks are caught before merging.

Can I use a multi-provider review coordination workflow for major software features?▼

Yes, you can coordinate multi-provider reviews for major software features. The staged review process validates intent contracts first, then coordinates detailed code quality analysis across multiple providers to ensure comprehensive engineering review before shipping.

When do I need spec validation before code quality review?▼

You need spec validation before code quality review when a major feature is complete or a pull request is ready. Validating requirements first ensures teams build the right thing before optimizing how it is built, preventing misaligned feature deliveries.
