SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Inconsistent or incomplete specification artifacts cause implementation failures. This Skill performs a read-only cross-artifact analysis across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md to detect duplications, ambiguities, underspecification, constitution violations, and coverage gaps before coding begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six Detection Passes: Identifies duplication, ambiguity, underspecification, constitution misalignment, coverage gaps, and inconsistencies across the three core spec-kit artifacts. - Severity-Ranked Report: Produces a structured Markdown report with CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW severity findings, a requirement-to-task coverage table, and metrics such as coverage percentage. - Extension Hooks: Supports optional and mandatory before/after hooks declared in .specify/extensions.yml. - Use Case: After running /speckit-tasks, invoke this Skill to verify every functional requirement has at least one task and that no plan element violates the project constitution before starting /speckit-implement. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the speckit-analyze skill to check spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md for inconsistencies and coverage gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-analyze

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check spec.md and tasks.md for inconsistencies before implementation?▼

Run the speckit-analyze skill after tasks.md is generated. It loads spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md, maps requirements to tasks, and outputs a severity-ranked findings report with coverage metrics, all without modifying any files.

What does the spec-kit analyze command detect?▼

It runs six detection passes: duplication, ambiguity, underspecification, constitution alignment, coverage gaps, and inconsistency. Findings are classified as CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW with recommendations.

When should I run speckit-analyze in the spec-kit workflow?▼

Run it after /speckit-tasks has produced a complete tasks.md and before /speckit-implement. It aborts with an error if spec.md, plan.md, or tasks.md is missing, directing you to the prerequisite command.

Does speckit-analyze modify my specification files?▼

No, it is strictly read-only. It outputs a structured analysis report and offers an optional remediation plan, but edits are only applied after you explicitly approve and run follow-up commands manually.

Why does speckit-analyze report constitution violations as critical?▼

The project constitution at .specify/memory/constitution.md is treated as non-negotiable. Any requirement or plan element conflicting with a MUST principle is automatically classified as CRITICAL and must be resolved in the spec, plan, or tasks.
