Checks whether an implementation matches stated requirements and acceptance criteria, before implementation and before final sign-off.
About
Extracts key requirements from instructions, plans, and tests, then compares them against code and reports confirmed alignment, likely gaps, and unknowns. A developer uses it to sanity-check that the right thing was built and decide the next step.
- Compares requirements against code, tests, and reports
- Outputs aligned, misaligned, unknown, and next-step sections

Spec Alignment
Use this skill to sanity-check whether work matches intent.
When Invoked
Good fit when:
- requirements are spread across multiple messages/files;
- a large change needs a quick "did we build the right thing?" pass;
- review or test signals conflict on expected behavior.
Inputs
Use whichever requirement sources are available, typically:
- explicit user instructions;
- plan/spec docs (plans, ADRs, acceptance notes);
- tests that encode intended behavior;
- recent implementation/review reports.
If sources conflict, call that out and proceed with the most defensible interpretation.
Suggested Approach
Suggested flow (adapt as needed): 1. Extract the key requirements that matter for the decision at hand. 2. Compare those requirements against available evidence (code/tests/reports). 3. Identify confirmed alignment, likely gaps, and unresolved unknowns. 4. Propose the smallest next step to reduce uncertainty or close a gap.
Output
Keep output concise and decision-oriented. A short structure that often works:
- what appears aligned;
- what looks misaligned or risky;
- what is still unknown;
- what to do next.
Use explicit evidence when possible, but keep the format flexible for the task.
