SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables teams to manage requirement traceability across artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a traceability matrix linking requirements to user stories, tasks, specifications, tests, and code.
  • Check coverage across forward and backward traces to identify gaps and orphan artifacts.
  • Perform impact analysis and trace-chain visualization to understand dependencies when requirements change.
  • Use via commands such as /trace and /trace generate to maintain living traceability dashboards in your project.

Quick Start

Use the traceability skill to view the dashboard with /trace, generate a matrix with /trace generate, and validate traces with /trace validate.

Frequently Asked Questions about traceability

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a traceability matrix for requirements, user stories, and tests?▼

You can generate a traceability matrix by using the /trace generate command, which links requirements to user stories, tasks, specifications, tests, and code to visualize end-to-end coverage.

What is requirement traceability and how does it identify orphan artifacts?▼

Requirement traceability tracks links between requirements and downstream artifacts. Checking coverage across forward and backward traces identifies gaps and orphan artifacts that lack proper trace links.

Can I perform impact analysis when project requirements change?▼

Yes, you can perform impact analysis and trace-chain visualization to understand dependencies and assess the downstream effects on user stories, tasks, specs, and tests when requirements change.

How do I validate trace links and check coverage gaps in my project dashboard?▼

You can validate trace links and check coverage gaps by using the /trace validate command, which detects missing links and displays the results in a living traceability dashboard via /trace.

Does traceability work for software projects without external dependencies?▼

Yes, traceability operates with no external dependencies, making it suitable for product and software projects needing matrix generation, orphan detection, and impact analysis across various artifacts.
