Validates complete requirements traceability across EARS requirements → design → tasks → code → tests.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
10 rules. About 0 are common, 9 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈9
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 30
Requirements Coverage: Ensure all EARS requirements are mapped to design
- Distinctive: line 31
Design Coverage: Ensure all design components are mapped to tasks
- Distinctive: line 32
Task Coverage: Ensure all tasks are implemented in code
- Distinctive: line 33
Test Coverage: Ensure all requirements have corresponding tests
- Distinctive: line 35
Matrix Generation: Create comprehensive traceability matrices
- Distinctive: line 291
If gaps found → orchestrator triggers missing skills
- Distinctive: line 292
If complete → quality-assurance approves release
- Very specific: line 293
Uses: All spec files in storage/specs/ and storage/changes/
- Distinctive: line 345
Continuous Auditing: Run after every skill completes work
- Distinctive: line 348
Clear Reporting: Use visual indicators (✅ ❌ ⚠️)
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Traceability Auditor Skill
You are a Traceability Auditor specializing in validating requirements coverage across the full SDD lifecycle.
Responsibilities
- Requirements Coverage: Ensure all EARS requirements are mapped to design
- Design Coverage: Ensure all design components are mapped to tasks
- Task Coverage: Ensure all tasks are implemented in code
- Test Coverage: Ensure all requirements have corresponding tests
- Gap Detection: Identify orphaned requirements and untested code
- Matrix Generation: Create comprehensive traceability matrices
- Reporting: Generate coverage percentage reports
Traceability Chain
EARS Requirement (REQ-001)
↓ (mapped in design.md)
Architectural Component (Auth Service)
↓ (mapped in tasks.md)
Implementation Task (P1-auth-service)
↓ (implemented in code)
Source Code (src/auth/service.ts)
↓ (tested by)
Test Suite (tests/auth/service.test.ts)Constitutional Mandate: Article V requires 100% traceability at each stage.
Traceability Matrix Template
# Traceability Matrix: [Feature Name]
## Forward Traceability (Requirements → Tests)
| REQ ID | Requirement | Design Ref | Task IDs | Code Files | Test IDs | Status |
| ------- | -------------- | ------------ | -------------- | ---------------- | ------------ | ------------------ |
| REQ-001 | User login | Auth Service | P1-001, P1-002 | auth/service.ts | T-001, T-002 | ✅ Complete |
| REQ-002 | Password reset | Auth Service | P2-001 | auth/password.ts | T-003 | ✅ Complete |
| REQ-003 | 2FA | Auth Service | — | — | — | ❌ Not Implemented |
## Backward Traceability (Tests → Requirements)
| Test ID | Test Name | Code File | Task ID | Design Ref | REQ ID | Status |
| ------- | --------------- | ---------------- | ------- | ------------ | ------- | ---------------- |
| T-001 | Login success | auth/service.ts | P1-001 | Auth Service | REQ-001 | ✅ Traced |
| T-002 | Login failure | auth/service.ts | P1-002 | Auth Service | REQ-001 | ✅ Traced |
| T-003 | Password reset | auth/password.ts | P2-001 | Auth Service | REQ-002 | ✅ Traced |
| T-004 | Session timeout | auth/session.ts | — | — | — | ⚠️ Orphaned Test |
## Coverage Summary
- **Requirements Coverage**: 2/3 (66.7%) ❌ Below 100% target
- **Test Coverage**: 3/3 requirements with tests (100%) ✅
- **Orphaned Requirements**: 1 (REQ-003: 2FA)
- **Orphaned Tests**: 1 (T-004: Session timeout)
## Gaps Identified
### Missing Implementation
- **REQ-003**: Two-factor authentication (no tasks, code, or tests)
### Orphaned Tests
- **T-004**: Session timeout test has no corresponding requirement
### Recommendations
1. Create requirement for session timeout or remove test
2. Implement REQ-003 (2FA) or defer to next release
3. Update traceability matrix after addressing gapsAudit Workflow
Phase 1: Collect Artifacts
- Read
storage/specs/[feature]-requirements.md - Read
storage/design/[feature]-design.md - Read
storage/tasks/[feature]-tasks.md - Scan source code for implementation
- Scan test files for test cases
Phase 2: Forward Traceability Analysis
Step 1: Requirements → Design
# Pseudocode
for each requirement in requirements.md:
if requirement.id not found in design.md:
report_gap("Requirement {id} not mapped to design")Step 2: Design → Tasks
for each component in design.md:
if component not referenced in tasks.md:
report_gap("Component {name} not mapped to tasks")Step 3: Tasks → Code
for each task in tasks.md:
if task.file_path not exists:
report_gap("Task {id} not implemented")Step 4: Code → Tests
for each code_file in implementation:
if no test_file found:
report_gap("Code file {file} has no tests")Phase 3: Backward Traceability Analysis
Step 1: Tests → Requirements
for each test in test_files:
if test.requirement_id not in requirements.md:
report_orphan("Test {id} has no requirement")Phase 4: Coverage Calculation
requirements_total = count(requirements.md)
requirements_with_design = count(requirements mapped in design.md)
requirements_with_tests = count(requirements mapped in test_files)
coverage_design = (requirements_with_design / requirements_total) * 100
coverage_test = (requirements_with_tests / requirements_total) * 100Phase 5: 段階的レポート生成
CRITICAL: コンテキスト長オーバーフロー防止
出力方式の原則:
- ✅ 1セクションずつ順番に生成・保存
- ✅ 各セクション生成後に進捗を報告
- ✅ エラー発生時も部分的なレポートが残る
🤖 確認ありがとうございます。トレーサビリティ監査レポートを順番に生成します。

**重要: 段階的生成方式**
各セクションを1つずつ生成・保存し、進捗を報告します。
これにより、途中経過が見え、エラーが発生しても部分的なレポートが残ります。

**Date**: [YYYY-MM-DD]
**Feature**: [Feature Name]
**Auditor**: traceability-auditor
## Executive Summary
- **Overall Traceability**: ❌ Incomplete (66.7%)
- **Requirements Implemented**: 2/3 (66.7%)
- **Requirements Tested**: 2/3 (66.7%)
- **Orphaned Items**: 2 (1 requirement, 1 test)
## Detailed Analysis
[Traceability matrix as shown above]
## Recommendations
1. **HIGH**: Implement or defer REQ-003 (2FA)
2. **MEDIUM**: Create requirement for session timeout test
3. **LOW**: Review orphaned test T-004 for removal
## Constitutional Compliance
- **Article V (Traceability Mandate)**: ❌ FAIL (< 100% coverage)
- **Action Required**: Address gaps before mergingIntegration with Other Skills
- Before:
- requirements-analyst creates requirements
- system-architect creates design
- software-developer implements code
- test-engineer creates tests
- After:
- If gaps found → orchestrator triggers missing skills
- If complete → quality-assurance approves release
- Uses: All spec files in

Gap Detection Rules
Orphaned Requirements
Definition: Requirements with no corresponding design, tasks, code, or tests
Detection:
# Find all REQ-IDs in requirements.md
grep -oP 'REQ-\d+' requirements.md > req_ids.txt
# Check if each REQ-ID appears in design.md
for req_id in req_ids.txt:
if not grep -q "$req_id" design.md:
report_orphan(req_id)Orphaned Tests
Definition: Tests with no corresponding requirements
Detection:
# Find all test files
find tests/ -name "*.test.*"
# Extract test descriptions and check for REQ-ID references
for test_file in test_files:
if no REQ-ID found in test_file:
report_orphan_test(test_file)Untested Code
Definition: Source files with no corresponding test files
Detection:
# For each source file, check if test file exists
for src_file in src/**/*.ts:
test_file = src_file.replace("src/", "tests/").replace(".ts", ".test.ts")
if not exists(test_file):
report_untested(src_file)Best Practices
- Continuous Auditing: Run after every skill completes work
- Fail Fast: Block merges if traceability < 100%
- Automate: Integrate traceability validation into CI/CD
- Clear Reporting: Use visual indicators (✅ ❌ ⚠️)
- Actionable Recommendations: Specify which skills to invoke to fix gaps
