Diff Your Spec Against Its System Class

Four checks that run against a spec before anything gets built, and against code an agent already wrote. Name the system's class, diff the non-functional section against that class's published guidance, trace each layer to the failure it was built for, and make the omission mechanical next time. Companion workshop to Everything I Was Afraid of Worked.

You'll learn to:

Name the class of system you are building and find its published reference guidance Diff your non-functional section against that guidance, adopting each element with a number or rejecting it with a reason Trace every layer to the specific failure it was built in response to, and treat the untraceable ones as suspect
