trace-check

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the validation and update of bidirectional traceability across all SDD artifacts, ensuring link consistency, ID format compliance, and cumulative tagging hierarchy, preventing gaps in audit trails and improving impact analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Bidirectional & Cumulative Tagging Validation: Verify upstream/downstream link symmetry and ensure each artifact includes all required tags from previous functional layers.
• ID Format & Link Resolution: Validate document ID formats and ensure all markdown links and anchors resolve correctly to their targets.
• CTR Dual-File Compliance: Mandatorily check that all API contract (CTR) artifacts have both .md and .yaml files with matching slugs and valid schemas.
• Use Case: Before a regulatory audit, use this skill to automatically scan all project documentation and code for traceability gaps, broken links, and ensure all API contracts are properly defined, auto-fixing minor issues and reporting critical non-compliance.

Quick Start

Use the trace-check skill to validate traceability for all artifacts in '/opt/data/ibmcp/docs/' with strictness level 'strict' and auto-fix enabled.
